FLAT ME


It was Wednesday and I was playing
Hide-and-go-seek inside, with my sister Michelle. I hid behind the front door, next to the Entertainment Center. My sister couldn’t find me so I knocked on the front door. After she came to the door she didn’t see me and she opened the door and squashed me! Then when she heard me screaming she shut the door and found me flat against the wall! My sister pulled me off from the wall and I was so thin, she couldn’t believe it.I could wait till tomorrow.

Well, the next day came and it was Thursday, I was still flat. I didn’t want to go to school, it would be so embarrassing. After I came downstairs my mom said that I had to go to school, so I went back upstairs and got ready. When I walked outside to walk to school it was very windy and I flew away amongst all of the clouds. I couldn’t control where I was going so I got higher and higher. Soon I had gotten all the way to space. I had reached Mars and I was stuck there for so many hours. When I started looking around I found a little martian
who was nice enough to let me use his trampoline. I jumped
and I jumped until I jumped all the way back to Earth. As I was flying straight down I noticed that I was about to hit the ground. I didn’t know what to do, but it was to late I had already hit the ground! When I fell straight to the ground I felt even flatter. It hurt so bad I couldn’t move. Then a car came and it ran over me, and the person yelled out, “Speed Bump!!” “How rude.” After that, I thought that I was going to be flat for the rest of my life!

I got up and ran all the way to my house. When I got there my mom yelled at me because I didn’t go to school. I told her that I flew away. She said that I was not making up a good enough excuse. I tried to tell her but she didn’t listen. She just walked away and shouted, “Go to your room! You are grounded for the weekend.” “What?” I said in anger.

Saturday came so fast and I got so mad because I had to stay in my room for the rest of the day. But I had the best trick to play on my mom.

I snuck out of my room and I went to my sisters room and asked if I could borrow some of her white pant. She said, ” yes,” and I had her paint my whole body with the white paint. My sister then stuck me on the kitchen wall while my mom wasn’t in the kitchen. My mom finished making dinner and she called my sister and I down to eat dinner. I said out loud, “over here mom.” She turned around and saw nothing. I said it again,“over here mom.” She still couldn’t find me. I was a genius. She started to freak out because she thought that there was a ghost in the house. I called my mom’s name, “Janie,” she turned around again and saw nothing, I accidentally leaned forward and I fell of the wall! When my mom saw me she screamed outrageously. While my mom was helping me wipe off the paint she was laughing. I told her that it wasn’t fair that I had to stay in my room for the rest of the day. I asked her if I could stay out of my room for the rest of the day, she really did say, “yes.”

While we were eating dinner we were all laughing about how my mom freaked out.

After dinner we played some games like night tag and this one game where who ever holds their breath the longest wins. I didn’t win that game because after a while I blew back up into my original self! I was so glad I wasn’t flat anymore.





I learned my lesson not to hide behind the door again.


EARTH DAY SUGGESTIONS

Michelle and I thought that we can make posters about Earth Day and it’s purpose’s. We can hang the up around the school like by garbage cans, saying and asking the students and staff if they can recycle the item that they are planning to throw out. On the posters we would put a site address that they can go to to find out more info on Earth Day, and the site will be made by me and Michelle. (kind of like a blog) We can have recycle bins in every classroom, one bin for paper and one bin for plastic and bottles( we would also put bins in the teachers lounge, at the end of every hallway, and bins in the cafeteria) If we recycle paper it can save trees, and trees provide oxygen, and they help stop pollution in the air. And recycling plastic will help a lot too, less chemicals will be let into the air, and they will save us a lot of money, also it will help a lot of animals.  And also we can hand out flyer’s to the teachers to give to the students on how to recycle and what to recycle, what it does for the environment ,  and where they can get more information on the topic.

AMENDMENTS

I think that ending slavery is the most important amendment because using people is not nice and it is better not being a slave and having to do something that you don’t want to do.

I don’t think that I would take out any amendment from the Bill of Rights.

If I was going to add an amendment then I would make the amendment be “to let people have the freedom of   choosing the parent who you want to be with at any age when your parents are getting a divorce.
