I think we should have Babysitter Robots.
For our children to be save.
You won’t get stressed.
Mothers could do some errands while kids are at school.
Sometimes you don’t know what to do.
Babies could have Fun while being baby sitted.
In conclusion I think we should have Robot babysitters. To help in the house.
I think we should not have Babysitter robots.
They could brake.
The robots might explode.
The battery could die will your doing errands and the Baby might fall from the stairs.
Babysitter robots might go wild.
In conclusion I think there shouldn’t be robot baby sitters.

On Monster Avenue, what you’ll find the most
are witches, vampires, zombies and ghosts.
But don’t let one be your host
because they will shred you to mostly bits…
You’ll have to use your wits
to cross Monster Avenue.

Suddenly the car driver stopped! We have some celebrities. Pink was in the limo and the Black Eyed Peas and also Red Hot Chilly Pepper. Pink started singing I am a rock star and I got my rock moves and I don’t want you tonight. Then the Black Eyed Peas started singing. Cause your future Boom boom boom boom boom pow those chickens jagging my style. The Red Hot Chille Peppers. All around the world we can make time. The party was saved. Everybody had a good time.

I am a dragon I believe people would not come in my cave or in my forest. Because people broke my treasure. I would eat people if they are in my home. If they broke my treasure they would pay for it. I scare people if they do not pay for it. There was a prince. He wanted to slay me y was in my cave. Then the prince fall in my cave. I laughed at the prince. I was going to eat him for lunch with a sandwich. Mmm I: it was good.

Once upon a time there was a cave. In the cave were all kinds of cats, lions, tigers, pumas, mountain lions, leopards, jaguars, and bird posers, cheetahs. They all were strong. They all took good care of each other. They all ate meat. One day they all went to run. Then they went home. The end.

One day Stecy’s family decided to go to six flags. It was a long road trip 3 day on board. When they got it it started raining (storm) so they said let’s go to the hotel. When they got there the hotel didn’t have any more open rooms. So we had to sleep outside. The next day we went back to six flags, then we got on a roller-coaster. When our side of the roller coaster got to the top we got stuck on the top. Then I decided to jump off so I did and my sister said “Noooo what are you doing??” “I’ll be fine.” I fell and cracked my neck so I couldn’t move it any more. Then there was this game with a bear in it, it looked fake but it was real and it started chasing me it bit the back of my leg it started raining again. I went to the hospital and my family decided to continue the trip. While I was at the hospital I died, but wait, my spirit was alive so I was sort of a ghost. I cursed my family because they didn’t come with me at the hospital so I cursed by letting their car break down.

I believe that there should be free Lego sets from Jan. 1-Nov. 28th because my first reason is hat a lot of Lego set cost like $99.99 for a set that has 408 pieces! My second reason is that Nov. 28th is two days after my birthday 11/26 and I want free Legos on my birthday. My third reason is that my favorite Lego set that I want is the coolest Lego set ever the titanium command rig and I really want it but it cost $99.99 and I don’t have that money. To do this I will write a letter to the founder of the Lego company Kliyd Kirk Johnson and say I want free Lego sets from Jan. 1-Nov. 28th because that day is two days after my birthday 11/26 and I want free Legos for my birthday. In conclusion, I think Lego shold be free from Jan.1 –Nov. 28th.
The Disgrace [Disagreement]
There should no free Legos from Jan. 1- Nov. 28th
There shall be no free Legos at all because I love money!
So no free Legos at all!
