That's Weird Grandma
TWG Weekly Update
In tonight’s production of That’s Weird, Grandma we add two stories that exhibit the high stakes of asking parents for things.

Escenario: Una casa
Personajes: Papa, Mama, Hijo
H- Papa, puedo ir al parque?
P- (cansado) No estoy muy cansado (bosteza)
H- Por que no? Por favor!
P- Te dije que no. Que no! Bueno, que no! (Enojado) Pide a tu madre que te lleve. Me voy a acostar.
(La mama esta sentada en la sala)
H- Me puedes llevar al parque por favor?
M: No estoy viendo mi telenovela. (El sacerdote casa a Pancho Lopez con el fantasma de Laura) FIN
Translation:
Setting: A house
Characters: Dad, Mom, Son
Son: Dad, can I go to the park?
Dad: (tired) No I am very tired (yawns)
Son: Why not? Please!
Dad: I told you no. No! I said no! (angry) Go ask your mother to take you. I’m going to
lay down.
(Mom is sitting in the living room)
Son: Can you take me to the park, please?
Mom: No I’m watching my soap opera. (The priest weds Pancho Lopez to the ghost of Laura)
The End

what happens when the lottery comes between a father and son?
Money to Blow by Simeon C., Dewey Academy

That's Weird Grandma
TWG Weekly Update
Tonight we are adding some scary creatures into the show!

The Big Giant by Richard B, Graham School
One time I was at my house I was eating and I went out side I herd a loud nouse it was this Big Giant I ran too my house and grabed a wepon and I went out side and I was going to hit him butt he said no I just need go back to my house so the big giant left to his house.

Piranhas Should not Exist by Jesus B, Lorca School
I believe Piranhas should not kept as pets because piranhas are so expensive because they eat a lot of meat and meat costs a lot of money. They should not kept is pets because they can eat your hand when you feed them. Piranhas should not exist because sometimes when you go to lakes and swim there could be piranhas and eat you.
See you tonight! Buy your tickets asap!
