Wonderful job as always Miss Leslie and a very Happy Birthday to you. I’d sing but you couldn’t hear it right now. It’s great that someone is focusing on childhood obesity because as we know, obese children almost always end up being obese adults and children can be especially cruel to overweight kids. Hey, and you’re right about those bike pants! Again, great job!
