A Healthy Monster
Hi! I'm Maddy the Monster. This is my best friend, Anna. I am a young monster. I am ninety - nine years, five months, three weeks, four days, two hours and fifty - six minutes old.

I am a healthy monster. My mother always says, "For nice yellow teeth and big strong bones, little monsters, eat your phones!"

I like to exercise. Exercise makes my muscles strong. I like to exercise with Anna.

Before I go to bed, I brush my teeth. I brush my teeth for three hours. After I brush my teeth, I wash my face and comb my ears.
My mother always says, "A healthy monster's skin is green. She combs her ears. Her face is clean."
