Dear Max

Did you know…

– That even though one can’t have enough nail polish, notebooks, Converse shoes, cookbooks and lipgloss, I still *need* more.

– That I still can’t tie my shoelaces like they say one should, or dive into a pool (I kinda flop in)

– That you are the only person who ever hears me singing

– That I love baking and wish I did more of it

– That I fell on my head (no jokes) off a jungle gym ladder, and as soon as I got to the doctor, I vomited on him (I still remember where his rooms were)

– That people think me weird because I don’t eat avocado

– That I would rather buy clothes for you than for me? Far more rewarding and less painful.

– That I want a Labrador in every colour – black, brown and yellow

– That my favourite food is pizza, but I seldom eat it

– That when I was in grade one, I got teased for having shoes that were different to everyone else’s

– That I used to have penpals around the world and send these random people letters, often with stickers on the envelopes. I miss handwritten stickers!

– That I used to belong to the Hello Kitty club when I was around seven, but never received a thing. I sent my membership form to somewhere in Booysens.

– That when I was about four, I got a chicken bone stuck in my throat and couldn’t breathe well. A doctor removed it

– That I can’t stand having anything covering my face – I get very panicked. The same with water over my eyes

– That there isn’t a day that goes past that I don’t think about going to Paris

– That I often overestimate how wonderful people’s lives are

– That I will always feel 10kg too heavy!

– That I have a weird memory for the small stuff
