That's Weird Grandma
TWG Weekly Update
Another Great Day for Another Great Matinee!
Come join us for a fantastic lineup Sunday afternoon, with 4 new stories:
I AM A DOG by Thomas R, 4th Grade, Columbia Explorers Academy
I am a dog and I believe that all dogs should have clothes. My first reason is
when the dogs walk you could see their butts. My second reason is humans
have clothes but not dogs. My third reason is it is not fair. That’s why I believe
dogs should have clothes.
I Got My Hair Done by Gerina C, New Sullivan School
Friday I got my hair done by my sister friend at my grandma’s house. She came there to meet me and it was in the afternoon. We were talking and playing and watching some videos. They were music videos on MTV and JAM. My favorite was Trey Songs’s “Bottoms Up.” Then she did my hair and it looked nice. I liked it.
The Girl Who Had a Monkey Parianna B, New Sullivan School
It was a woman named Sady that she love her monkey. She feed it bananas. She take the monkey everywhere she go she take it to work. She take it to the movies and give it popcorn. And she would let anyone touch it and did not like they say she is mean. She had long hair and she have lip gloss. And her monkey is black and white. It is a boy or girl and she was married and very pretty and I like her. I think she is so nice. And she live by herself with her monkey and she have a wife. I think her boyfriend named 50 Cent.
DEAR CITY HALL (BUTLER) Ethan B Dixon Elementary
I believe that we should have butlers because we can have other people cook, do homework and do your chores for ever. While you goof off and play video games and eat junk food. Also you can have them eat your vegetables while you eat cake and candy. SO you can stay home and do whatever. While the butler goes to school and get you good grades and do all your work. Dueces people Learn it live it love it. PS Butlers rule!! And without butlers you never have a chance to be lazy for one single day.

Characters: Dad, Mom, Son
Son: Dad, can I go to the park?

lay down.
(Mom is sitting in the living room)
Son: Can you take me to the park, please?

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!
