Dollars on the Ground

Once upon a time I saw a million dollars on the ground. The dollars said hello to me. I dropped the dollar and it grew feet and it ran with me. I quick tore it up and it was back together. I didn’t know what to do so all I really had to do was say, Hello!” so I did and I had spent it.

Build a Future

I went to a program to Build a Future when I grow up. The Houston Rockets’ mascots, Clutch and Air Clutch and their friend Rocket Ranger came to visit. Clutch got mad and he wanted to stay but they had to go. They only stayed for an hour.

New Brothers

Anthony and Antonio were born on October 18, 2009 at 2:00 something in the morning. They are 1 month old and they can make you stay up until like 6:00 in the morning. They came home on October 21, 2009. They are greedy all the time. Every hour they wake up start crying and then they’re hungry. Then after they eat they start crying because they booboo in their diapers. Then we have to change them. They go to sleep and if you were to baby sit them, you’re going to be tired! But they’re good brothers to me and I love them even though they make me tired I still love them. They CAN get on your nerves, but they are my munchkins.

Ugly Dog

Once upon a time I was walking home from school and I saw a frog. It said, “Hello, friend.”



“Were you talking to me?”


It said “Yes.”


I ran away and I panicked. I saw a rabbit and it said, “Get away”


I said “You aren’t my momma.”


It said, “Yeah, but your in my space.”


I said, “Oh well” and I kicked it and it ran away.


Then I saw a bulldog and it said, “I’m going to chase you down if you don’t quit starring at me, I chased it down because I was mad at all of those animals. I said to the dog, “You are a very, very, ugly fat headed dog. I hate you, ugly dog and that’s your name ugly dog.”

When I grow up

The story is called: this is what I want to do when I grow up.



Hi! My name is Jaylynn and when I grow up I want to be a veterinarian. I want to be a good wife, a good mother, and a good student because when I do my work I put my brain to it and my heart to it. When I do something I never give up because when I give up I fail.

The Funny Chicken Soup

     Once there was a little girl, named Kalyn, who loved soup. She wanted to eat other kinds of foods, but it made her sick. If she tasted or touched it she’d break out. Chicken soup had been her favorite food since being a baby. Her mom wanted to ask her doctor, named Mrs. Soup. She said, “Can she eat carrots?”


“A healthy food? NO!!!”


Here’s the problem. She loves soup so she tells other people what they need to eat but what she likes.


So the doctor said, “Carrots are nasty food.”


Then the girl named Kaylynn said, “I’m going to eat those carrots and she didn’t break out.

How Funny Is This?

      There was a boy named Peter and he had to go to the restroom, really, really bad. He said, "Teacher, Teacher I have to go to the restroom!!!"
    The teacher said, "Hold on."
Peter said, "Teacher, Teacher, I have to go to the restroom really, really bad."
    The teacher said, "Oh, all right. You can go to the restroom, but you have to say the alphabet."
Peter said, "What????? Why do I have to say the alphabet?"
    "Because you're supposed to. It's the rule for  when  you have to go to the restoom."
 Peter said, "Oh, all right. A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I  P."  He went to the restroom.
     The teacher said, "Wait a minute. Where are you going?"
"Teacher, I have to go to the restroom. Can I go to the restroom, please?"
"Oh, all right."So he said, "Thank you."

The End

Devil's Waterhole

About a week ago my parents and I went camping. We were jumping off the Devil’s Waterhole cliff. It was about 36 feet high so it was a bit scary at first. It turned out it was scary fun. We went back the next day, but as soon as we got there it started raining hard. We ran back to my RV and when we got inside, I heard thunder and saw lightning. When the rain stopped we went back to the waterhole.

New Niece

When my sister was pregnant I was so happy I was going to have another niece. She was born on April 15, 2008. Her name is Clarissa Ann D. I love her so much. She is my little niece, but to me she is my little sister. I will always love her to the very end. I can’t wait till my niece is 4 years old, so I can take her to school. The school that I want her to go to is Durham. Like me!

Frogs

Once upon a time a frog leaped off the table and ate the frog food. The frog said, "I want a girl frog now!” So, the girl frog ate the boy frog.
