If You Give A Teenager his Phone Back
By TM

If you give a teenager his phone back, he'll probably ask for his iPod back, too.
When you give him his iPod back, he might remember you don't like the music playing out loud, so he'll ask for some headphones to go with it.
While he's listening to his favorite song, it'll probably remind him of his girlfriend 'cause she loves that song too. So now he'll ask you if he can go to her house, and you'll say, "Of course, why not?"
On the way to her house, you'll ask him what time you should pick him up. But of course, his music is so loud he can't even hear you, and it happens all the time. So at this point you're just fed up. You tell him, "We're going home NOW!"
When you're at your house, you're furious, so you take his phone and iPod away for a week.
When the week is done, he'll ask for his phone back.
And chances are, if he asks for his phone back, he'll probably ask for his iPod back too.

If You Give Kiana Sugar!
By KS

If you give Kiana sugar, then she will want some chocolate to go with it!
When she is done eating it, then she will have a sugar RUSH!
She will run past the living room, through the back yard, and finally back into the house and fall asleep on the couch.
Once she wakes up, she will be thirsty. So she will go to the fridge and get a water bottle.
While she is looking in the fridge, she will notice the ice cream.
She will look around (to see if there are any people) and will grab the ice cream and start eating.
Once she is done, her mom will walk in, seeing Kiana’s messy face covered in ice cream.
Her mom will punish her by making her eat a full salad!
After she is done with that healthy meal, she will want some sugar to wash it down.
And chances are, if Kiana has sugar, she will want some chocolate as well.

Interview

INTERVIEW WITH A MUMMY
by LC

Interviewer: Hello Channel 11 News, it's me; the Awesomenater. Today we have a great surprise for you a real living dead mummy. Good day to you Mr. Mummy, so you mind if I do an interview with you?

Mr. Mummy: I don't mind at all.

Interviewer: ok so, everybody's wondering about what it's like to be dead and be mummified.

Mr. Mummy: Well like you can guess I'd rather be alive, but it's okay in the afterlife. The worst part of being dead is when they mummified me. It seemed like it took forever but from research it seems it only took 70 days.

Interviewer: Can you tell us anything about the whole mummification process? Well, if you remember correctly.

Mr. Mummy: Well, first you have to be dead, then professional embalmers cleanse you then bring you to "the house of beauty" where the embalmers place you on a stone table and remove your brain. Then they remove your organs and place them in jars. After that they salt you and leave you out to dry then wrap you in mummy wrappings.

Interviewer: Uh...Well Umm that's great thanks for sharing that fact with us now why don't you share some more facts about being a mummy.

Mr. Mummy: Well I could tell you how they used to remove your brains.

Interviewer: Yeah sure that's great.

Mr. Mummy: They use a hook and shove it up my nose and squabble my brains around. It just comes out my nose as a liquid and after that the embalmers toss it away.

Interviewer: Oh well that's probably really cool to all those young people out there. I bet they're all sad that you have to go back to your tomb. Well goodbye for now all you fans out there. Tune in for the next time.



Prayer Poem

FOOTBALL PRAYER
By AI

Heavenly Father,
thank you for this wonderful day,
guide us until the very end
until we cannot run
until we cannot jump
and also that we will not give up the football on any drive
and when I do my touchdown dance
to be very intimidating
yet entertaining one
and at the very end
if we win or lose
may we be humble
Oh Lord
AMEN

THE PRAYER OF THE EARTH
By MH

God
Thank you for everything.
Thank you for the people, plants, trees, animals, and new places.
Thank you for the sun because
she is like a blanket that keeps me warm.
And thank you for the moon because
he is the light that leads me through the solar system.
Thank you for making me.
Thank you for everything.
Earth.

Voice Poem

THE COMPUTER
by JP

DO NOT smack your meaty fingers on my precious keys
Wash your hands with soap
to keep me clean
Spill the soda and food in the kitchen
Do not point those pencil and pens in my face
DO NOT drop me either, I just hate it
I get headaches
Fingers, fingers, fingers go away from my
face
And do not dirty it up cause I can’t see
Leave me indoors
Someone will steal me or I’ll get wet in the rain
But I love you,
just don’t Mute me or worse
SHUT ME DOWN!



Dear Phil

Dear Punxsutawney Phil,

Please can you think about your decision this year? Many of us are hoping that you will make winter longer. If you do not help us then we will be forced to take action and go into hiding (in refrigerators!) so that we will not melt. To continue this conversation, please come out and over to 1578 Union Road. We will be standing in the front of the house.

We humbly ask you,
The snowmen (aka SK)
