Who ever knew that Chinese food could talk? No one I guess. Its true Chinese food does talk. One time Ms. Wigles ordered Chinese food and when she all most ate the Chinese food it said hey fat ladie can’t you eat some thing else. Ahhhhhh! She screamed for 5 minutes then she said this is crazy I moving out of here! So from that day on food started to talk to her. The end?

That's Weird, Grandma
OMG!!
My fingers stop smacking each other and smashing in to each other
I’m trying to write!
Middle n pinky you two have been at it all day
And thumb stop letting them bully you
You all have been getting me in trouble all day
I just might chop you all off
If you all don’t stop talking
What’s that you say, ring finger you’re broke?!?
OOOO…my gosh here comes the pain mommy!!
We have a problem!
I broke my ring finger because I wouldn’t stop talking.
What?!? Well never mind.
LOL I bet you’re done talking NOW!?!

I’m the grandma and I believe that no body should have cats because you can trip over them and break your ankle and you is going to have a cast on it that why no body should have cats.
My 2nd reason is that no body should have cats when you trip over them and break your ankle you going to be in the house into your ankle feel better but if you want to go outside you can’t because you have to stay in the house because you ankle is break.

A man named James and his friend Mikquel were playing a play but James did not know his parts so he could not do a movie with a paper in his hand we had no more ideas. So James was about to quit. But I said “do not give up on yourself”. So we said we will practice until he get it right but it took 4 days to get it right. He did.

How to Make Me
Add 2 tablespoons of shortness.
Chop up baseball and add.
Wash off a quarter pound of sarcasm and add a teaspoon of crazy juice.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of funny.
Rinse off a pack of weird and simmer.
Add green eyes.
Add a quarter ounce of video games.
Boil a pound of guitar and scary movies.
For a stronger flavor, add skinny jeans and a pair of Vans.
Just a spritz of brown hair
And occasionally some Decatur Classical.
That’s how you make me.
Diamond
I am the shine of the diamond
I wish people could admire me more
I am the color of the diamond
I love me
I am the point of the diamond
I can’t point anymore
I am the diamond on the necklace
I look so beautiful
I am the “diamond”
I am so perfect
And I am so beautiful

Arguments

Dear President Obama,
We believe that all immigration should be legal and people can come to the USA. We think this should be the law because we want our grandparents to come live with us. Also people in Mexico don’t have enough jobs. We think this plan will help create less war. We don’t think terrorists should be allowed to come. People should be able to live where they want because they don’t have a lot of money. If you make immigration legal, Mexicans won’t get arrested as often. Mr. President if you don’t enact this plan we will work to kick you out of office. Thank you for listening to our argument. Sincerely, Class 210
