eu MICHELLE havice for kids ory (NAPSA)—Hi, —_/— Michelle Tanner here. That’s right, the same Michelle Tanner from “Full House.” I write an advice column called “Dear Michelle” in my school newspaper. It’s so popular that now it’s in your newspapertoo. Howcoolis that?! So if you need help with school, friends, pets or just about anything else, remember I’m here to give you advice. What makes me an expert? Well, I’m a kid so I know how kidsfeel. And when you live in a full house with three dads, twosisters, a cool aunt, twin babies and a big dog, you learn pretty quickly how to get along with others. Whohasthefirst question? Dear Michelle: I hate my voice. It is very high and squeaky and when I talk in class some kids think it is really funny to imitate me. What can I do? How can I make them stop? Signed, Upset Dear Upset: Imitating people is not funny, it’s just mean and dumb. No wonder you are upset. Joey, my Dad’s friend who lives with us, is a comedian. He always tells me that no one can really make fun of you —if you make the joke first. So here is the plan: The next time kids imitate your voice, stop them and say: “Wait! That’s not squeaky enough! Try it again, but higher this time.” Pretty soon everyone will be laughing—but not at you! Andthat’s my advice, Michelle Do you need some advice—or want to ask me a question?
