Dear Plumpy,
I’m kind of worried about something and I thought it might make me feel better if I shared it with you. Tomorrow there is going to be a Talent Show at camp and Sparky and Benny really want me to tell jokes with them. I told them I wasn’t sure I wanted to. I’m really nervous about getting up in front of everybody and telling jokes. I mean – what if I mess up the punch line? Or worse – forget it altogether! Sparky says how can I be nervous when I tell jokes to my friends all the time? But that is completely different! When I tell jokes to my friends, I’m just goofing around. Having to tell lots of jokes properly is scary. Sparky is really excited about the Talent Show and we’re already one ‘Kinz short (Stoogles sprained his flipper), so I’m trying to get my nerve up, but I feel kind of sick at the thought of it. Have you ever had to get up in front of a huge group of people? I wish you were here so you could help me not feel so nervous.
I miss you!

Maybe just look above their heads and pretend their not there.
Sorry to hear. Maybe you can talk to Sparky and the others about it and Plumpy will think of something to help you. If you really don’t want to do it then just talk to one of the counselors and tell them how you feel. Hope i helped! :) Love Lauren
