Traffic, A Nightmare
by Jethro, age 8, New York
Once upon a time there were 2 kids who were stuck in traffic. It took so long to get around the bend that they each got to order a pizza and eat the whole thing, walk 1 mile and then walk 1 mile back to the car. They were also able to brush their teeth and trim their nails and do a 25 hour nap. Also, they were able to modify their car so it can go 500mph and also get mail all the way back from their house which was 2575 miles away from the car. After 3 decades, 2 years, 5 months, 3 weeks and 1 day, 2hours, 5 minutes, 26 seconds, and 35 milliseconds, the very tip of the car reached the bend. After that, they had to go another 2575 more miles. And the same traffic occurred all along the way. The trip took a total of 2 centuries, 7 decades, 5 years, 3 seasons, 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, 52 minutes, 28 seconds, and 627 milliseconds. When they get there, they went into the ice cream shop. It had low quality ice cream. One of the kids asked why couldn’t we go to another ice cream store. And the dad said it was the closest one to us, not including traffic, of course. Then the dad said, “it’s time to go home.” It took 3 thousand millennia and 2 milliseconds to get there.
