Hi, I'm Maggie.

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi, I'm Maggie.

Hi, I'm Maggie. I forgot to say to everyone, I'm kinda new here. Yeah, I've been in a few conversations, and things like that, and I think that Cricket mag IS TOTALLY AWESOME! I like to write and read, and I have plenty of imagination. I don't have a pet. Is there anyone else from Minnesota? That would be cool!

Hey! That's awesome, Kimberly!!!! It's awesome when you win in a contest, isn't it? It makes you feel all happy inside! I won a contest once, but not a story one. That's because I never tried for one! Good job, Kimberly! I'm excited to read it!

Kimberly, I had to ask that question of readers two times, but now I know that the FMP stand for the Fan Mail Pit. Whether it really exists, I don't know. I'd never put a reader's letter there.

That's not funny, that's sad. All those poor little letters... Kids! They have a slang for everything! On the other hand, so do computer programmers. You would never know what UI stands for if you weren't a computer programmer (or hadn't listened to someone who was, like I did). It means User Interface.
