The Nasty Egg
By Eryion H., Chalmers School of Excellence
One day my dad made breakfast for me and my brother and my step brother and his girlfriend and he made some bacon and boiled eggs. And I didn’t like boiled egg. So me and my brothers waited until the food was done and it was done before they ran to the kitchen I told my brother I don’t like boiled eggs y’all and my borther was we know that so they ran to the kitchen I walk slow because I didn’t like boiled eggs and by the time I got in that kitchen my plate was already ready. So I went to the table and set down and start eating and I said ew and I took about one bite and I chewed it and it was nasty and I only ate my bacon and I was done and I put the eggs in the garbage and my dad looked in the garbage and said who put the egg in the garbage and said who put the egg in the garbage both of my brothers said they didn’t do it. And I said I did it and he took the egg out the garbage and said you fine two eat this egg right now and I said but I don’t like eggs Daddy and he said I don’t give a care and he washed it off and gave it to me and I ate it.

Yoga Class In California
By Maggie S., Avondale-Logandale School
It looks like the people that want to go to yoga class have to go all the way to California by boat from New York. Because all the yoga classes in New York are full. When yoga class is done and they wan go back home the boat drowns with all the people aboard. When the people jump in the water they did not notice the water was magical and can turn them into PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY Fish and at the END they sing Peanut Butter Song.
