“Dude likes almost everyone that’s not mean.”

That's right. I was rummaging through old schoolwork my grandparents sent to me last week, and I found this gem about my childhood cat Dude. Apparently this was my submission to the 1994 Oregon Statewide Assessment Program given to me when I was in the third grade. And I NAILED it! Well, I got 3's and 4's on a five point scale, and one reader had the gall to give me a 2... If I knew who that was!

But here it is for your enjoyment. Also attached is the cat in question. (Best cat in the world, that's right.)
