My Godmum Mersedeh is quite petite and very pretty. She has long black hair which she wears in a bun. She is hilarious, kind-hearted, caring and always happy.
She comes from Iran and cooks delicious food. Her carrot and coriandar soup is mmmmm yummmm.
I stayed with her and and her Mum Babljun when my little sister Natalia was born. Babljun is nearly 90 years old!
Sometimes she takes me swimming or for a pizza, or both!!!
She is a professor in linguistics. Her name is Dr Proctor and what is funny about that is I've read a book called DR PROCTOR'S FART POWDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
