live.

Best Moment: I've had
so many. I love life and every
day is wonderful. When the movie producer told me
that he was going to turn my book into a movie.
Worst Moment: When my
dog, Tonto, died in my arms.
Most Embarrassing Moment: My dad
taught me to ride a bike.
The first time I rode by myself I went tearing
out of the
driveway and straight into the front of a car.
Naughtiest Moment: I got
glasses when I was five. I never
wore them because, as soon as I got home, I
buried them
out the front of my house. (They're probably
still there.)
