Odd Things Happening... Every Day

You might not think this, that something happens, something just a little bit weird, each day. Something like this - a boy in my class is not very good at a letter, "R," and the blend "sh." When he says R, as in "Ryan," it sounds like "Wyan." And when he says "sheesh," it sounds like "sees." So that is something weird that has happened in the last couple of days.

Now, let's think of something else kind of weird that is happening. Like this morning, my brother Ben (also known as Lenny), who just screamed "WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME LENNY?! YOU'RE BUSTING ME!" Anyway, back to this morning... he kept saying "bring it on, fat girl!" Which I highly think is very rude, he did this while Dad was calling Uncle Paul. That's another thing that's weird.

All right now, let's stop saying stuff that's weird. On to the second news. Do you speak Italian? If you know how to say, "where's the bathroom," write a comment and say how. The reason why I'm asking you that is on a "Scooby Doo" episode, the gang was in Pompeii and Fred said... well, I forget what he said, but whatever he said, he said it, then Velma whispered to Daphne "he said, 'where's the bathroom?'"

Okay, here comes the grand finale. A couple little jokes.

Where are you today, you folks? Are you in the bathroom? Are you under the table? Are you in the kitchen, eating hoagies?

When do you expect curtains to blow? When the weather gets all cloudy, and the clouds are shaped as curtains!

What is five plus four? Of course, you know the answer is nine, but I say nine isn't enough! What about thirty-five? Or sixty-seven? Or 142?

Do you know the tongue twister "she sells sea shells by the seashore?" Here's how you can make it seem a little, well, violent. "She sees sea monsters by the seashore!"

1, 2, Chocolate Goo/3, 4 Want Some More?/5,6, Pudding Mix/7,8 On Your Plate/9,10, Hungry Again

Well, it was dinner when it started. I'm not sure if this was one of Dad's concerns, but Ben (also known as Lenny) felt like a wild animal, saying "I need meat!" But, in Lenny's act he usually has a couple things he needs to work on.

For example, when I'm asking Dad something, Lenny should listen instead of saying "rum, rum, rum, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" or whatever else he says, like "yum, yum, yum, Travis Hafner scored a home run!" I think C.C. Sabathia brainwashes Lenny. Lenny really gets out of hand sometimes....

Today is Thursday, the first day of MEA, and tomorrow, on Friday, we are going to Chuck E. Cheese's, but only if we clean our rooms and do some other stuff.

Now, something I should have mentioned - have you ever heard of Scooby Doo? It's a funny cartoon which includes the following characters in every episode: the smart one, Velma; the fashion type, Daphne; the sports type, Fred; and the cowards, Shaggy and Scooby Doo, the dog, also known as Scooby. These mystery-solving kids are also known as "meddling kids" by the villains. Anyway, there was this funny episode called "It's Green! It's Mean! It's the Mystery Machine!" The Mystery Machine is the gang's van, but originally it was owned by the Mystery Kids, a rock and roll band, as their tour bus. Actually, the keyboard player, Flash Flanagan, who now seems to be in rock and roll heaven, owned the van.

Before Daphne was disguised as a gypsy, Velma said, holding a flashlight under her chin, said the following:

"A seance is where you contact spirits from beyond the grave!!!!"

And Shaggy and Scooby said, "Aaaaaugh!"

Hurrahs for Halloween and MEA

Before we start the news, I'd like to tell you who is guest blogging - my dad! All right, Dad, let's see what the news is. Of course, I think everyone here listening knows what MEA means - Minnesota Education Association, which is the teachers' union. They have their convention every year in October. This is cool, because it means that I get a vacation and of course, I hope you all know what Halloween means - trick or treating! Ghosts, goblins and witches! Candy and fun! And of course costumes. Dad, what do you have to say here.

The next paragraph is by Dad:

I think MEA is pretty cool, too, because Maria and Ben have been working hard at school and need a break. Kids really enjoy the time off and the weather is still usually pretty good, so they can have some fun. When you are 7 years old, like Maria, fun is really your most important thing. And who doesn't like Halloween? Just the candy alone makes it cool, but there's also a lot of colorful costumes and a little bit of foolishness, too. Good stuff, I say. Now, back to Maria!

Very interesting, Dad! Now, here comes the last important news, plus a sneak preview of what Maria might, now just might, turn into. Okay, here comes the last news - it's a connection fiesta; we've got our new laptop that we are typing on now and it's a Toshiba and just yesterday we got Internet connection from Comcast. And we got the Comcast Triple Play. Okay, here comes THE SNEAK PREVIEW - STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS ARE COMING! I REALLY WANT TO BE CLASS PRESIDENT OR THE CLASS PRESIDENT'S ALTERNATE. I KNOW IT'S A BIG RESPONSIBILITY BUT I'M GOING TO DO IT! I HOPE I WIN. IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE PLEASE GIVE ME A COMMENT.

Well, that's a double bye-bye. See ya next time on the show that never ends!
