My name is Luisa Palmeira, I’m ten years old. My family, they’re all Portuguese. But me, I’m French, I don’t make mistakes when I talk. My mom is more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe, except when she wears her glasses. My dad has a red motorcycle and lets me win at arm wrestling. The other day, he told me he was going to disappear. But I don’t believe him!
