That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update
Four brand-new stories are on the Grandma stage tonight, freshly devised by the 16-memer cast.
THE VERY BAD MONKEY by Blanca B., Columbia Explorer’s Academy
There was a monkey and he did not like children or people. So when he saw a window open in a classroom he went inside. He started bothering them. He started jumping around and knocking down their own stuff. Then the teacher started whacking him with a broom. Then the broom fell and the monkey started whacking the teacher with the broom. Everything in the classroom was on the floor when the principal went inside and he found a big mess and when he walked in the monkey hid. All the kids were crying. So the teacher got fired and she never got to be a teacher anymore and the monkey started laughing with joy and when the principal walked out and the monkey left and never came back. The End.
SHOOTING STAR
By Shonell P., Paderewski Elementary
One day a boy named Adam lived a normal life. He looked out his bed room window. He missed his Mom. She died two weeks ago. Then he saw a shooting star. He made a wish his Mom was still alive. Then two minutes later it was a crash somewhere and the ground shaked like a earthquake. It looks like a yellow star by the forest called Forest Under the Stars. He went there. He picked it up and said he will never get his Mom back then he cried. Then he heard a soft voice. He looked up and it was his Mom. He dropped the star and ran to her and hugged her. The End.
THE SUPER HERO STATUE
By Juan, Davey, Miguel, JD, Mary, Jaqueline, Jasmine, Lorca Elementary
Once upon a time there was the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty was alive but nobody knew it. He lived in a wooden cabin in the ice. He wanted to buy a super hero, and a super dog. But he didn’t have enough money. So he started doing chores. To get money. Like walking the dog, and working out, and he got enough money to buy the super hero and the dog. He was happy and excited. THE END
UNTITLED (COWBOY AND HORSE) by Charlie Duncan, Loyola Park After School Program
Once upon a time a cowboy named Spurs rode his horse. Then he said “Yee-ho” and his horse galloped thorugh the woods and there the horse stopped. He saw a very beautiful white horse. Spurs’ horse snorted. The beautiful white horse snorted. Spurs thought they were talking to each other, but hen Spurs’ horse bucked him off without warning him. They rode off. Spurs said “Stupid Horse he bucked me off then rode off. Stupid horse HE BETRAYED ME!” Spurs waited and waited, but he never came back. The End!
