The Evil Calendar
by Aidan, age 6, UK
The Evil Calendar moves the crossings-out on the calendar every day, so it goes from the top to the middle to the bottom. And also it rubs some of the crosses out. Then the boy gets confused, and they'll cross off the wrong day.
Then their Mum looks at the calendar and says, "You're wrong! It's not Monday today, it's SATURDAY today!"
Then they tell their Dad, "Is it Monday today?" and their Dad says, "No, darling, are you joking?"
And then the boy gets confused.

Well That Escalated Quickly
by Samara, age 8, Wisconsin
I looked at my clothes and saw a strange circle. First I tried washing my clothes. It didn't work. In fact, it turned into a portal and sucked me in. I met the demon king. I defeated it.
Hot Dog Lasers
by Elias, age 9, Pennsylvania
Judge: Today is the case of Bob vs. Hot Dog.
Bob, you tell us your side of the story.
Bob: Thank you, Judge. So, it all happened yesterday…
[Yesterday]
Hot Dog Salesperson: Here’s your hot dog, Bob.
Bob: How much is it?
Hot Dog Salesperson: Two thousand dollars.
Bob: Okay, that’s perfectly reasonable!
Okay, now I'm about to eat my hot dog and ... oh no! It’s shooting lasers at me!
Ahh! It hit me and now I'm flying past Mars!
[Present Day]
Judge: Wait! If you flew past Mars, how are you on Earth?
Bob: Well, I used Mars’ gravitational field to slingshot back to earth!
Judge: Okay, that makes perfect sense!
I declare Hot Dog guilty!
Hot Dog: Awwwww!
Judge: Wait, you can talk?!?!?!
Hot Dog: The End!
The Day That Mean Man Ruined the Life of the World!
by Xander, age 5, Connecticut
There was a Mean Man and he was trying to destroy all the things and then Xander had a helmet that had spikes on it that could destroy the Mean Man. There were crystals and there were gems that could shoot rotten spaghetti out of him. And there was a centipede, a killer ant, a tarantula, a pterodactyl and a piranha and also some fish. Some clouds burst open and then they turned into jello and then Mean Man got nicer and became Nice Man! He was nice because he ate jello. And everyone wanted to hug him, even Xander, but he had a spiked helmet, so he took it off before he gave Nice Man a hug. And then an invisible volcano erupted and Nice Man exploded. Just kidding, he didn’t explode, he took a nap!
