TOOTH PROBLEM

One girl in my class lost a tooth.  She had really hard time pronouncing words.  Especially in math.  When it was math time, the teacher did one digit subtraction.  “What’s 6-4?”  The girl raised her hand and said, “Foo.”  “Foo?”  The teacher got confused.  Then the girl wrote the number on the board which was “two.”  The teacher laughed.  The class joined in.  We were still laughing when we got home, and that was a very funny thing that happened in school.

Last Friday on a sunny day at school, I was wearing a Santa suit because I had to give my teacher’s present.  It was so funny when I buy my teacher a cotton candy machine.  Mrs. Harris said thank you Justin.  The whole class laughed.  But students dress like deers.  The end.

“Oh my, oh my!”  Not again, Jayla fell again.  Now she is a total wimp, how can she sit next to the populars if she keeps falling?  One day while walking to music Jayla was looking straight, all of a sudden, Crash!, she fell over books and “Ha, ha” kids laughed at her.  Jayla walked to the nurse and a real wimp fell Jayla whispered, “I’m not the only wimp!”  Jayla decided to be funny.  One time Jayla was eating Cheese Doodles.  Her friend Shawne took one doodle.  Ever since then Jayla called him “The Doodle Stealer.”  My friend Jayla might be clumsy class clown, but you have to love her through it!

You know how they always say that doing cartwheels are fun?  They are, but not inside your living room!  Well on December 5, 2011 I was doing a cartwheel in my living room and I fell and hit my leg on the TV stand and my sister’s lunch spilled on me!

I went to an Aquarium with my family.  My sister wanted to see the seal show but I wanted to see the killer whale show.  We started to argue about it.  But then we realized both of those shows were in the same place.  We had a nice laugh about it.

One day we had a family gathering. We decided to have a rhyming competition. One of my friends made up a poem named “Spray the Skunk!” It goes liike this: “Hey! My name is Spray. I’m a stinky little skunk, yeah! One day a fox came too close and I sprayed him hooray!” Everyone thought it was hilarious and laughed. He got 1st place.

A Story about a Joke

THE JOKE THAT SAVED ME

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Oh, didn’t see ya there. I’ll go back to the beginning of the story. Today at school I was hanging out with my friends when a bully started to annoy me. So I decided to make up a joke. “Do you know there are different types of smarts?” I asked. “Yeah,” he sneered. “You don’t have any of them,” I yelled. All the other kids laughed and he never bullied me again.
