Mutt
By Alyssa Drake
Grade Two – Wellington
One night my family went out to dinner. When everyone was finished, our dad said, “Time to go visit the pup we might be getting.”
When we got there they told us his name. It is Mutt, a little funny name. A little bit after we met the pup, he peed on the wall. It was funny. They cleaned it up. We played with it a little more before we left.
Dad changed his mind, and let us play a little more. It was getting late and I had school in the morning.
Any way it was fun with the dog. I had fun and that is what matters.
One Friday
By Hannah Foster
Grade Two – Wellington School
One Friday I went to my gram’s after school. Abby was there. I made cookies. After I made cookies, Abby chased me. I had an enormous ball. We were cheerful. We all circled Abby, so we danced and put her hands to her cheeks and laughed.
We knew she was a lefty because she danced with her left foot. Abby wiggled. We laughed and laughed. Then we went sledding.
Ruger, the dog went sledding, too, we all laughed.
I went home and couldn’t go to sleep, because I couldn’t stop laughing.
Then I fell asleep dreaming about the day.
One Winter
White Day
By Debbie Nichols
Grade Two – Wellington School
One winter white day I got into my mom’s make-up. She had black eye shadow, so I put the black eye shadow all over my eyes! I put it all over me like I had two black eyes. Then I saw red lipstick, so I put that red lipstick all over my lips. It was like all over my face, too. So was the black eye shadow. Then I looked at the mirror and I said that I looked like a clown, so I have to get down the stairs without mom seeing me. I thought about how I would get down the stairs.
What if I put a blanket over my head? I thought. But, then what if I got the blanket covered with lipstick?
I know, I will run down the stairs and hop in the shower and wash it off. So I ran down the stairs and hopped in the shower. I scrubbed and scrubbed. Then I got out of the shower. It was off my face.
When I was walking out of the bathroom, Mom said, “You took a shower?”
“Yup, I did,” I said.
Reader: Never get into your mom’s make-up. Just make sure you don’t.
