My friend Portia lives in Chicago. I was born there and can't wait to go back. Chicago is a really beautiful city and I love it because my Nana and Papa live there and all of my old friends. I have not seen Portia since we were really little. I can't wait to see her again. My mom sent my questions over to Portia, and I can't wait to see what she said. Portia's dad wrote a book and it's really neat. I like that it's about parents and what happens when babies are born. My parents talk about how expensive I am and my brother. Children are definitely expensive! Mr. Corey's book (that's Portia's dad) is funny and very colorful. The book is called We Used to Have Money / Now We Have You! I hope you enjoy the questions I asked Portia and hope that you read her dad's book. It's really neat and funny. Thank you! Bye! - Bean
