Best Art Pals   

“I’m so happy to hear that,” Mommy said.

Chavi and I have been phone pals for the last year. To make phone learning during Covid a little more interesting, our schools matched us up with girls in other schools. They tried to give us phone pals with similar interests. Chavi and I both love art; drawing, sketching, painting — all different styles. We really wanted to get together in person so we could actually see each other’s artwork. Chavi’s cousins, the Kremslers, live down the block from me, so it will be really easy to meet when she’s there.

The next day, I went shopping with Mommy for Yom Tov. I held up an outfit with a tiered skirt and sash that tied at the waist.

Mommy raised her eyebrows at me. She’d already bought me two new outfits for Yom Tov and we’d agreed that that was enough.
