One time my bestfriend and I, was fighting over a red cherry sucker. Well she went to grab it from my hand and well I let go, and the sucker went flying. The sucker landed in her baby-sis hair.We tried to get it out before her mom noticed it. The sucker was too stuck in her hair for it to come out. We finnaly just told her mom. When her mom first saw the sucker in her hair, you can tell she was angry. Well the only way her mom could think to get it out is to cut it out. After she cut the sucker out, her sisters hair is reall really short now. It also looks all jacked up. Well mean-while my bestfriend is grounded for a long time. She can not go any were that her mom thinks would be any kind of funn. Well that was a BIG accident that was caused all over a sucker..
One warm summer night, I was walking out of my room. I had to share it with my two older brothers, but the room was huge so I didn't care. My oldest brother, Michael, was in the shower right across from our room. Dinner was ready, so I turned off the light, shut the door, and ran downstairs. As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I looked back just in time to see one the funniest moments of my life. Michael came running out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel on and ran straight into the door. "JAAAAMESS!!!!" he yelled. I ran to the dining room and hid behind my mom. Surprisingly, he didn't chase me though.
A long time ago there was a old hobo named Joe. His life was the saddest you can think of. His soul item was a sucker. Then one day a kid went by and he was starving. Joe felt sympathy for the kid and gave him his sucker. the boy thanked him and went on his way. Many years later the boy came by again and this time he was a man and he found Joe and remembered what he did. Joe became part of his family because the man took him in and gave Joe everything he wanted. Much later Joe died at the age of 81 and he was the happiest man the boy knew. Before he died Joe was the grandfather of the man's kids. The kids still miss him.
Three Wishes- If I had three wishes I would use one for my family and use the rest for my family. My first wish would be that my dad would win the lottery. My second wish would be to cure all kinds of cancer. Cancer is spreading and my Great Aunt has died from it, I can't stand to see another family member hurt. My last and final wish would be to stop all war in the world. Im glad to have a family member who served in the Army, but one of my 1st cousins will be going in the Army soon. And he will be out in the field, so if he gets hurt, it will be devastating to my family. Also, this would help our country save money for more important things like education, federal funds, and medical funds. If I had three wishes, I think that I would use them very wisely.
Sucker- My family and I go to Los Arcos on Sunday after church. My sister and I always get a sucker after we are done eating. We always disagree on what kind we want because she likes green apple and i like watermelon. My sister lets our dog charlie lick hers. My mom thinks that is nasty! But she doesn't care because he only licks it for a minute. I only eat the sucker part because i don't like how the gum taste in the middle of it. My parents dont like suckers as much as my sister and I do. I only eat red suckers not green, or purple. I love the jolly rancher suckers, they are so sour sometimes. I dont normally eat suckers except when we go to Los Arcos. Once my mom told me about her choking on a sucker and how she thought she was gonna die because she was little. She ran and got my pawpaw (her dad) and he picked her up and was patting here back trying to get it out. Then he hit her one good time and it flew out if her mouth. She said she would never forget about it because she was scared to death.
I always wanted to play a banjo at the music store in Albertville. But i bet it coast a lot of money,but i like the banjo the way it sounds and all. My dad always wanted me to play a bass. But i always said no. And so he said to me one day he may buy me a banjo and maybe take lessons or just teach my self on my own. But maybe i will get one soon. =}
One night i was in my house and it was dark and my brother was asleep and he thought i wasnt home. So i walked in his room and i wispered " Bradley I'm back". He opened his eyes and i hid. Then he looked around and i wasnt there. He got up and went in the living room. There was not a soul at home. So then i turned on the light in his bedroom and he turned around and then i turned it off. By now he was scared then i screamed and he started running out the back door and my dad was coming in and he said, " Bradley where you going?" My brother siad there is someone trying to get me! So then my dad said, " you know your sis is here right." Then my brother said," No i had no idea!!"He started running to my room and said ," Did you do that ? and i said," ya haha tricked you." so then he got mad and said dont talk to me again.
Well I'm 14 and feel about myself,I have to look good and smell good too. Sometimes I hate to wear glasses but I got to use them or i can't see. But sometimes I think I look good wearing my glasses with some cloths. But a I wish I had contacts because I will look better, but I can't because I did not been to the eye doctor for a while now. Also I will like some shads on my glasses because one of my friends had shads on his glasses and it look cool. And thats all I got to tell you.
Last time me and my friend we went to a hunting house there nose in the bathroom but it was a cat. but when it was 9:00 p.m. some one shout the door. but the next hour we got out of that hunting house. some one told me that a lot of people die inside of that hunting house. and now body came in that hunting house. The End.
if i had three wishes my first wish would be to be 16 so that i could get myself and friends places. I want a Silverodo jacked up truck 2010 model. the reason i would like to be 16 is to go fishing, bow fishing, hunting. My second wish would be for my granddad not to dye. My granddad does so many things for us. he pays people to come and mow our yard so that i don't have to and he bout a lake house a nice one so that we can have fun on the weekend. I think the lake is better than the beach. My third wish would be for my brother to do good and make the right choices and save his money like he is suppose to. He has been doing good sence he moved out. when he moved out and when i see him he is nicer to me.
after school one day last year after i got home i got a drink and my sister went to the bathroom. In that time i ran to her room and wrote im watching you on her expo bored . right as she was getting out i took off toured the kitchen. she didn't see me but as she got in here room she yelled at me and i was thinking she knows its me when i got in there she said did u do this i said no she said who did i said i don't know she said im scared i said well i didn't do it . she said ok then she went out. later that afternoon i told her i was going to my friends house she said ok she saw the truck leave but i wasn't in the truck i was in the closet because i wrote on the bored im in the closet come look if your not scared and i was in the far corner were the light didn't shine . she looked in there after she cam in but she didn't see me because i had fell a sleep behind some shirts so i slept for awhile. well it was about 9:00 ween i woke up my sister was in bed. so i woke up walked over to her and got her up and i laid on the floor she woke up and i jump out at her and scared her half to death i laughed for for ever but she cried thats what was funny.
Three Wishes My three wishes is like a lot of stuff. I want a lot of stuff that i don't know what to have. I want like everything in the world. The first thing i would like to have a house were. I can live. But i want the house to have a pool.I want the house to be almost the size of a hotel. That would be so awesome if it would be in a real world. That is my first wish that i want. My second wish i don't know what to wish for. Umm lets see maybe a car. I would like to have a Cadillac. But i would want it to be 2011 Cadillac.That would be my favorite thing. That is my second wish that is going to be a cool thing. My last wish is going to be amazing. I want like 5 million dollars. Any body would like to have that.
If I could have three wishes I'd wish for my family not to have to worry about bills, for us to own a house that is at least fairly nice, and, no joke, world peace. And no i will never try to be Miss America; i would really wish for world peace. I'd choose the first wish because every bill we get we worry over how we're going to pay it. Plus my counselor said I need to stop worrying about that kind of stuff and it'd be easier if it didn't exist. I would wish for a house because I'm tired of always having to move. The last time we moved when it was snowing. I'd just like to have a place to call home (cue the violins). The third wish is because I think all the fighting is just dumb. Seriously, why can't people just get along. Anyway, those are my three wishes. Enjoy!
It was a dark and stormy night. I was out on my boat. I had went out to go fishing but didn't catch anything. I had finally decided to come back home when a storm came. The waves came crashing down on the boat. I grabbed my life jacket, a bag that had a weeks worth of food and water, a blanket and then i went and sat in the life boat. I laid down and covered up but soon was asleep. I woke up the next day and looked around. There was nothing except the blue sea and the dark sky. It began to get lighter out so i checked my food supply. There was less than a weeks worth now because the wind had blown some away. Four days later, I was already out of food I had one water bottle left. I noticed a fish that was next to me. It was a light orange I hadn't really noticed it before but I did now but why now and not sooner? I tried to sleep trying not to think about my stomach. This went on for almost a month one day a group of whales passed by and that's when I noticed I had oars. I decided to try and grab the orange fish. I caught it on the first try. I remembered I had a pocket knife so I pulled it out and killed the fish. It tasted okay considering I hadn't eaten in over a month. Then i picked up the oar and started rowing. I didn't get far before it started getting dark so i decided to start again first thing in the morning. Five days have passed and i can see what looks like a little island. I start rowing to what looks like an island as i get closer i here noises coming from the island. I see people so i instantly start yelling for help. One guy notices me and tells me to hold on he will get help. It takes about two hours before i am finally on the island. I ask where i am at they all say i am in Africa. So they take me into town and i buy food and water the next day i go back home. I'm still confused on how i got all the way there when i live in California.
sucker- There once was a monster called Bob. Bob lived in the deepest darkest part of the ocean. The reason why bob lived in the bottom of the ocean is because , he don't have any friends.He was shy so, he only went out for was to go to the store and buy all the suckers the store had in stock. On his way back from the store to go home, he had to go through the town. Every one ran away from him. He got very upset. He had just got home, and he sat his suckers down on the table near the seat. All of the sudden he heard a voice saying "Hello,hello can anybody hear me?" Bob stud up and said "Who goes there!" Bob looked all around and he didnt see any anyone in sight. then he look behind the chair and saw a girl monster and said "Hey, how did you get down here?" She said there was a big current and I got blown down here." Bob said, "Well while you are here would you like a sucker?" The girl said 'Sure why not!" So, she grabbed kelp flavored sucker and said "whats your name?" My name is bob." said bob. "Whats your name?" my name is sarah." Said sarah. They talked for a while and she said "well my family is probably wondering where I am, but it was nice meeting you and thank you for the sucker. Maybe I can come back tomorrow." said sarah.
