One day Jason and his mom were about to go to the shopping mall that Jason dreaded most. His mom said that they were only going to buy some pants for him, but when his mom sees something she likes, she’ll stay at that store the whole day.

Jason is a 12-year-old boy and has no brothers or sisters. He only has a dumb old boring fish. His mom hates animals. He begged her to at least let him have a fish.

His mom was still getting ready while Jason was in his pajamas sleeping. Jason hated getting up in the morning. He wished he could sleep all day and get up at noon instead of 8:00.

Jason’s mom came into his room and said, “Jason, I changed my mind and you can sleep all you want. We’ll go to the mall at 1:00.”

Jason was relieved that he didn’t have to go to the mall. He wondered how his mom knew that he wanted to sleep in all day. He thought it was just a coincidence.

When it was time to go to the mall Jason was actually ready for once in his life. He was in the living room when his mom came out with three pounds of make-up on just her face.

She said, “Okay it’s time to go, Dear. We need to get you some new pajamas too. Your other ones are too small and I doubt you want to walk around wearing ‘Thomas, the Train’ pajamas.”

Jason did agree with his mom. He thought nothing could possibly go wrong today.

Jason and his mom got into the car to go to the mall. The mall was about a half hour away.

When they got into the mall, Jason realized that his favorite band was playing. He grabbed his mom’s hand and dragged her to where the music was coming from. Right then and there playing right in front his eyes were “The Beatles”

They were playing his favorite song, “It Don’t Come Easy”. He tried to run up to them but his mom grabbed his hand and didn’t let go.

She said to Jason, “You stop this nonsense and let’s find you some new pajamas.”

Jason didn’t want to go. He dragged his feet into the floor as hard as he could. His mom was already angry because he hurt her arm and this made her furious. She smacked Jason across the face. Jason got away and ran under the stage of the concert.

He said, “I wish that my mom would just die and I could have a new mom that would let me do whatever I wanted to do.”

Secretly he did not want that to happen.

He heard a scream of death. He looked out from under the stage and saw his mother having a heart attack! At that moment he had known what he had done. People don’t just have a heart attack just because.

He couldn’t take all of the excitement so he fainted. He woke up in his bed. He realized it was just a dream. He got out of his bed, ran downstairs to give his mom a big hug.

Jason said to his mom, “I love you so much, and I wish you would never die.

Then he had realized that now his mom would never die, or would she? Was the woman he hugged his mom? Was it all a dream?

I have a black, fluffy cat.  Her name is Sabrina. She loves to go outside and kill chipmunks, mice and moles.  She drags them up to our porch.  The dog and Sabrina eat their stomachs and organs.

One day my dad let her out.  My sister, brother and I were at school.  My mom was at home.

A long while later she noticed that she wasn’t at the porch door for food.  My mom was franticly looking for her.  She couldn’t find her anywhere.

My mom called The Investigator. He came over and got his special investigator navigator thing out.  It could find missing objects.  He started to pick up a signal, so he got out his 590NRX.  It is a magnifying glass.  He tries to be like a high tech investigator, but he is only a rank 2 investigator.

My mom came outside to check on him and she was so shocked that he couldn’t find the cat.  My mom went up to him and said, “Um, excuse me, Sir?  The cat is right under the tree house."

The investigator was almost stepping on the cat and still couldn’t find her.

My mom took the cat in disbelief and went home without paying the guy.   

On the first snowfall my brother, sister, and I all go outside and snowboard or sled.  I’ve gotten a lot better over the years.  I can do a 180 degree turn on the ground.  My brother likes to show off.  I can tell. Every time he goes he says, “Oh, I can do this. I can do that,” so I just ignore him.

On December 3, 2008 it wasn’t a good sledding day for me.  Each time I tried to sled down the hill I fell out of the sled.  I said, “You can try to sled if you want to die, because I always fall out and get snow in my gloves.”  We just laughed.

I like to make forts in drifts.  It’s really fun.  We use shovels to dig in the drifts and snow.  One time we made a huge fort and had snowball fights in it.

My dad, brother, sister and I all went out and got a plastic box to make a finer fort.  Each day we built more on it until it was done.  We poured water on it too.

Now that hockey is done we can go snow skiing a lot more.  My cousins work at Cascade Mountain so we get free discounts when we go.  I love snow skiing!

I make snowmen a lot.  One time my sister and I made a snowman with chocolate and strawberry   syrup.  Yummy!  I licked it all off. 

Once at the national ski competition there was a tree that weighed a ton.

Some of the kids jumped out of it into the lake.

The splash always made a wake. 

We climbed right back into the tree.

I said we, but really it wasn’t me.

My friend went to the top, but we all said “STOP!”

 The branch was about to brake and that’s the tree by the lake. 

One sunny, summer afternoon I was playing outside on my purple bike.  It had three princesses painted on it.  On the steering wheel, there was string like stuff connected to the steering wheel.

My dad was working in his shop and he saw me.  He asked me if I wanted to learn how to ride my bike without training wheels.  I said yes.

He went into his shop and got some tools to take my training wheels off.  I was nervous at first.

I got my helmet and went to my bike.  My dad held the back of my bike and my back.  He said to peddle so I started to peddle.  He let go and I fell.  He let go again, and I fell off again.  I told him to keep hanging on but he already let go.  I felt like I was the king of the world.

We went inside and told my mom that I learned how to ride my bike.  My dad got me a treat. It was a rainbow sherburt push-pop.  It was yummy.  After that dad and I went outside and rode our bikes together. 

Hi!  I’m Paris, and I run a bubble gum factory.  I am the boss.  I’ve been working for ten years. I have 142 workers. 71 people switch from day shift and night shift. I have only fired one person.  She didn’t do her job at all.

My building is 17 stories high and four rooms wide. It is green with pink bubbles on it.  It has a big sign that says “Bubbleishious.”

We have a gift shop.  That’s where we have our mascot, Bubble Face.  He is a monkey that has bubble gum stuck to his face and hand.

We have a mixing room where we add the gum base and the corn syrup.  We have to melt the gum base first before we do anything else.

 The color room is where we take the food coloring and add it.  The colors we usually use are red, orange, yellow, blue, green and purple.

There is a room for sweetening and souring.  We add powdered sugar to sweeten and citric acid to sour our product.

Our people have to be careful when putting in citric acid because if they get it in their eyes it’s really bad.  If this happens we put our eyes under cold water for 15 minutes.

If you’re looking for a job to lose weight, the kneading room is perfect.  Kneading is very hard.  The gum gets really sticky and stiff.  If the gum gets sticky, we add powder sugar.  If the gum gets stiff, we add some hot water.

There’s a finish room where we can put swirls in the gum and send balls of gum to the foil room.

The foil room is where we make the balls into a strip then put foil on for a wrapper.

My part is to taste and test the gum.  I also take orders for the people who want the gum, and I observe the other workers.

The flavors that we have are blueberry, watermelon, cinnamon, mint, and strawberry.

The pay for the month is $1,364.00. I have two people that help me with the money for business.

My business is a very fun place to be.  We have very friendly people except the janitor.

Once upon a time there was a vampire named Laser Beam.  His eyes were like lasers.

Laser Beam had a family.  He had a mom named Freaky. She was very freaky.  His dad was named Bam.

One time she went to a boy’s house and hung upside down above his bed!  When the boy woke up she scared him.

Every time Bam scares someone he says, “Bam!”  after he is away from the thing he scares.

One Halloween night a boy came to their cave because he thought they were giving out candy.  The boy started knocking on Laser Beam’s casket.

Bam and Freaky started hearing noises so they woke up.  Bam got out of his casket and saw he had a light.  He thought he was going to kill Laser Beam.

Vampires are afraid of light ya know?

Freaky hung above the boy while Bam was behind the boy getting ready to kill him when all of a sudden Laser Beam popped out of his casket. Freaky dropped down on the boy.

The boy screamed, “MOMMY!”  But got no response. What the boy didn’t know was Freaky was lying dead.

All of a sudden Bam and Laser Beam dropped dead.  The boy’s mom must have heard him scream so she called the cops.  The cops shot them with silent guns, and that was the end of those rotten vampires.

Now no one needs to be scared except…  Boo!

My family lived in Wisconsin. When my brother, Quinn, was about 10 months old, my mom and dad moved to North Carolina and had me.

I was born in on October 27, 1998.  My name is Paris Eve Trumbower.  I was born at the Mooresville Hospital.

I weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces.  I was 20 and a half inches tall.  I had cute, brown, curly hair and blue eyes.  I was walking at 9 months old.

When I was about two and Quinn was about five, we moved back to Wisconsin.  Sage, my sister was born there.

When I was a toddler, my favorite food was sweet potatoes.  Now I don’t really like them anymore.

When I was a toddler I started to ice skate.  I did this on my ice at home.  My dad made it.  It was about the size of our gym at school.  I was pretty good.

I liked when I got my first tooth on May 8, 1998.  I got money.  I think I got about $2.00.  I think I spent it right away.

 My favorite movie was Barney and the Halloween Party when I was three, four, five, six, and, seven years old.

I had a blanket. I still really like it.  It had cute animals on it.  My brother had it when he was born.  I know I had it when I was born but, I don’t think my sister had it.

In kindergarten my teacher’s name was Mrs. Flannery.  My favorite subject was show and tell.  Now it is art. I learned how to make patterns and how to do addition.

In first grade my teacher’s name was Mrs. Crusan.  I learned how to subtract.  My class went on two field trips; one was to the zoo and the other was to the New London Public Library.

At the end of first grade my family joined the Webfooters.   It is a water ski and show team.  It’s my favorite sport.

In second grade my teacher’s name was Mrs. Steinert.  I learned how to tell time, do a book report and how to write in cursive.

Now I live in the country.  I have a dog, a cat, a hamster, and a bunny.  I’m proud of my family. 

People say there is a girl who goes from house to house stealing money and jewelry.  It usually leaves them shocked or sort of paralyzed. They call the girl Paralyzing Paris.

One day she went to a cop’s house at 12:00 AM.  She didn’t know it was a cop’s house.  All of a sudden she got caught.  The cop took her to jail.  The cop said, “We finally caught you.  We’ve been looking for you since like… FOREVER!” 

On the way to the jail, Paris unlocked her handcuffs with a black bobby pin and her mouth.  She slowly opened the door, got out, and ran away, very, very quietly.  

When the cop got to the jail he saw she was gone.  He called seven cop cars, five swat vans, 48 FBI dudes and 43 CSI dudes to go after Paralyzing Paris. 

They searched up and down, left and right.  Finally they saw a man and woman that said they saw a picture of her in a cave. 

The next day someone said they saw her board a plane to Hawaii.  That’s all they needed to find her, because she loves fruit.  All they needed to do was to find a hotel that had something to do with fruit. 

Two weeks on the plane and they found her suitcase.  She must have forgotten it.  They opened the case and saw about 100,000,000 valuables.  They had no clue how she got through seven metal detectors.  She must be a pro criminal.

In Hawaii they saw three hotels that had something to do with fruit.  They were:  Fruit Bob, Fruitiness, and Fruits.  They searched each hotel at the front desk for her name.  One of the cops named Alfred found her name.  They got her room number.  It was 7294.  The cops swiftly went in the room.  She was in the shower!  They waited and waited and waited for about a half an hour.

The girl came out and the cops captured her with three handcuffs and a rope.

When they got back to the jail they told her she had a fine of $900,000,000 and 48 years in jail.
