My Body is Private

When I get a letter in the mail, nobody but me gets to open it - that means it's private. My mom told me that my body is private, too. Even though I like to hug my friends and cuddle my dog, some kinds of touching makes me uncomfortable. There are parts of my body that nobody except me is allowed to touch. If anyone ever tries, I'll tell my mom or dad right away. They said that I shouldn't keep it a secret, and they promised I wouldn't get in trouble for telling. I know what private means, and I know that my body is private.
