I knew Jane stole a valentine to me from Douglas Ryan, and when I asked her for it back, that’s when she started lyin’. She said, “I never touched that thing. Why would you think I had?” I knew that she was lying, so I started getting mad! “I know you did. You needn’t lie.”Continue reading “The Worst Valentine’s Day”

Dating in Grade Two
There is a new girl in our class who Tommy said he likes. He talked about her all the time that we rode on our bikes. He said that he would ask her out and asked me what to do. I told him he was acting dumb since we’re just in grade two. So now,Continue reading “Dating in Grade Two”
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”
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”
Young Love
I really know that I’m in love, even though I’m eight, cause when I see her smile and laugh, the whole world sure feels great. She’s at school every day, and every day we talk, and at recess, I don’t play — with her, I’d sooner walk. Someday when I’m old enough, I’ll marry her,Continue reading “Young Love”
Math’s No Fun
My teacher is the strangest one cause she says math is really fun. She smiles when adding on the board just like each number is adored. In lots of ways, I think it’s sad her sense of fun is just so bad. Three plus three and eight plus eight are no fun —I’d sooner skate.Continue reading “Math’s No Fun”
Class Discussions
Teacher made us read a book that I thought was a bore, so reading every single page was nothing but a chore. The characters were really dumb. In fact, there were three bears, and a girl named Goldilocks who sat in all their chairs. She ate some of their porridge and slept in Baby’s bed,Continue reading “Class Discussions”
A Poet’s Life
I’m trying hard to write a poem but now my brain is numb. You see, I’m having trouble rhyming “neighbour’s cat” with “glum”. “Cat” and “glum” just will not rhyme which really makes me tense, cause if I choose some other words, my poem will make no sense. Today we have to share our poemsContinue reading “A Poet’s Life”
Derek the Donkey
Derek was a donkey but stubborn like a mule, and he was determined to go to public school. I know that must sound crazy, as crazy as can be. Donkeys are not scholars — most people would agree. But Derek was not average. That donkey had a brain! He taught himself to talk and read,Continue reading “Derek the Donkey”
The Grade 7 Dance
Our class’s dance was really dumb; it was my first one ever. And to the next one — will I go? My answer is “Ha! NEVER!” All the boys just ran around, playing tag and yelling while we girls discussed them all and what they thought? No telling! Later, Tara, who’s quite brave, asked aContinue reading “The Grade 7 Dance”
