Reasons why I’m a good Parent

• The main reason why I am a good parent is that I know what glycogen wants. It needs lots of food to grow and be there, and I know how to nurture it.

• Another reason I’m a good parent is because I use it a lot. I give the glycogen something to do all the time because of how active I am.

• The last reason I’m a good parent is because I adopted a molecule I knew nothing about. I wasn’t intimidated by it and was interested in what info it had for me.
