Mia's cardMia made a birthday card for her Grandpa Joe, and her dog Rex lay snoring under the desk. She typed the whole card, but every letter came out small, even the names. Grandpa Joe tilted his head and asked, "Is that my name?" Every letter has a tall twin, and the tall twin is called a capital. Tapping a key gives the small letter. Mia held shift and tapped the letter d, and up popped a capital D! She fixed every name on the card.
