The Baby Who Never Grew

by Charlie, age 7, Florida

Me: "I am going to the store to get food. Is that easy or what? I can get some cookies and a pie. Oh is she pretty.... Should I ask if I could marry her? Yes! I am going to marry her."
Me: "Hey, can I marry you?"
Sheila: "Yes! I will marry you!"
Me: "What is your phone number?"
Sheila: "555-976-6500. And what is your phone number?"
Me: "555-099-1133. We will marry tomorrow!"
Sheila: "OK, got it! Wait, what place will we marry at?"
Me: "Good question! Um, um, um... Apple Tree Park!"
Sheila: "OK, got it. And what time?"
Me: "7:00 pm!"
Sheila: "OK, got it. Bye!"
Me: "Oh yeah, I am getting married!"

One day later:

Me: "OK, got my tuxedo on! All right. Hop in the car. Start the engine. Drive...drive... and I'm here! OK, here comes the guy who marries us!"
Officiant: "Are you sure you want to marry this person?"
Me and Sheila: "Yes, Yes!"
He marries us.
Me and Sheila: "We are married!"

One day later:

Me: "Hey, what woke me up? Wait. Is that a baby??!!"
Baby: "Goo goo ga ga!"
Me: "Wake up, Sheila! Wake up!"
Sheila: "I am up! Whoa. Is that a baby?"
Me: "Yep!"
Sheila: "Well, if we have a baby then we have to do the right thing."
So, we feed the baby, give the baby a nap, and change the baby's diaper.
REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT.
Me: "We have been doing this for 10 years!"
Sheila: "I guess we have a baby who never grows up!"

Oh No, I Can Only Say ‘Blah Blah Blah

by Alaska, age 10, Tennessee

One day I was feeling grumpy so I decided to only say blah blah blah. Well it turns out this was not such a good idea.I was in my classroom when my teacher asked me a question i said “blah blah blah” but when my teacher asked me again i couldn't answer it in normal words. “Blah blah blah” I said again, this time trying to form words. But I couldn't. I was caught in a blah blah blah trap.oh no i had just remembered tomorrow i had to give a speech in front of the whole class. I rushed to the bathroom trying to wash the blah blah blah out of my mouth but it wasn’t working. “blah blah blah” I grumbled. Just then the nurse rushed into the room. “Who has the blah blah blahs?” she said . “blah” I said gloomy. She sighed and mumbled “Why”. I looked up at her sadly. She told me to open my mouth. I was afraid but opened my mouth. She pulled out a pair of tweezers [or as I like to say scary pinchers] and put them down my throat.When the tweezers came back out they were holding a blah blah blah monster! “So that was the problem” I remarked.

Why Frogs Have Moisturized Skin

by Eleanor, age 9, Wisconsin

One beautiful morning in a sparkling blue lake in 1989, surrounded by trees and a part of the lake filled with frogs. One of these frogs was called Buddy. Buddy was a bit cheeky, kind and an A+ student. One day, Buddy was swimming through a patch of coral, and then he saw a big green thing, and before he knew it he was swimming away as fast as he could go. He turned back and saw it lunging for him. He dodged once and twice before he knew it he was forced to be sucked of all his moisture. He ran home to tell the others. His mom said “oh what nonsense.” His dad said “oh get a grip.”His younger brother said “great story.” He had no one else to turn to, so he swam towards the alligator’s mouth and tried to yank one of its teeth out, but it didn’t work. So he swam home and went to bed. In the morning, he swam up to the surface and poked his head out of the water, but it stung to not have his moisture. He lunged back into the water and felt better and decided to go back and fight. Three minutes pass. He swam into the alligators mouth and wrenched a tooth out. The alligator yelled in pain and regurgitated his moisture. He swam towards his moisture and caught it and swam home. From that day on, all frogs never go by alligators. The moral of the story is be brave, trust yourself, and that’s why frogs have moisturized skin! The end!
