My parents are divorced. I live with my mom and my little sister, Karen. She is very beautiful with her
straight blond hair and big round eyes. She enjoys playing with me and I love her. The three of us get
along very well.

“Command and Conquer”. My favourite color is blue. I think school is ok but homework isn’t my favourite
