A mean old woman bought a pig cause pork she liked to eat. She planned to fatten up the hog and named the poor pig “Pete”. Now Pete was not a stupid beast — he knew what she had planned, and starring on a menu was just more than he could stand! Pete’s pen wasContinue reading “The Christmas Pig”

Regrets (Contemplating a Letter to Santa)
Last night I just couldn’t get to sleep. I tossed and turned all night, cause Santa Claus is coming soon, which fills me with great fright. You see, I’ve done some things this year that now — I sure regret, and thinking of those things I’ve done is making me now fret. I think I’llContinue reading “Regrets (Contemplating a Letter to Santa)”
A Letter to Santa
My sister wrote to Santa Claus because of things I’ve done. She thinks I’ll make his “naughty list”. I think those things were fun. I squirted her with water and I scared her really bad. She said I wasn’t funny and just got really mad! And so she wrote her letter, and mailed it thatContinue reading “A Letter to Santa”
The Christmas Concert
The Christmas concert sure was fun though Miss Blake’s still upset. Because so many things went wrong, she’s not recovered yet. The truth is Clarence is a pain so got what he deserved, and since that evening, Clarence has been thoroughly unnerved. Clarence Henry was the star of Miss Blake’s Christmas play. She said hisContinue reading “The Christmas Concert”
Our Kitten Climbed the Christmas Tree
Our kitten climbed the Christmas tree, and then he just went mad, batting lights and ornaments. That kitten sure was bad! He chewed some tinsel, ruining it, but we couldn’t reach the brat, and so his rampage just went on while Mom kept screaming, “Scat!” Soon he reached the angel’s branch, the topper on ourContinue reading “Our Kitten Climbed the Christmas Tree”
Dotty
We have a dog named Polkadot. For short, we call him Dotty. The reason that we call him that is cause he’s really spotty. Dotty loves to chase our cat, so then we yell out “DOTTY!” He doesn’t stop, but chases more because that dog is naughty! He likes to chew our socks and shoes,Continue reading “Dotty”
The Painful Lesson
I wrote a story in Grade 3; Mom said she loved my work. My brother Danny read it too, and it just made him smirk. Later, when we were alone, he said it was plain dumb, but I didn’t believe him and that was cause of Mom. When cleaning out my room today, my storyContinue reading “The Painful Lesson”
My Brother Ate a Worm Last Night
My brother ate a worm last night which really made me cry. I thought because he ate that worm that he would surely die. And if he died, I knew for sure that I would be to blame, cause when he said he’d eat a worm I really mocked his claim. I said, “There’s noContinue reading “My Brother Ate a Worm Last Night”
I Really Love Potato Chips
I really love potato chips. I love them with all kinds of dips. Garlic, dill, and cheesy cheese are assured to always please. On cereal, I’ll drop some chips (and when I do, my mother flips). At lunch, the rippled chip is best — it holds more dip I do attest. At dinner, chips goContinue reading “I Really Love Potato Chips”
Food Play
Billy liked his Cheerios. He liked to put them in neat rows. His spaghetti, he would loop, around his fork with lots of goop. He’d pitch a grape which then would drop into his mouth and loudly plop. With mashed potatoes he would play, moulding shapes like they were clay. Yes, food, he thought, wasContinue reading “Food Play”
