Book review #1: Woof

Today I start my first book review. Today’s review is on the book, and audio-book, Woof. Woof is an enjoyable book, it is written from the standpoint of a dog. I find I understand my dog better, even if it is fiction. It is high action, and would be a great read-aloud. Bowser and Birdie make the perfect duo, as forgetful Bowser, and his best friend Birdie, solve the mystery of the missing fish. WARNING: This book contains guns, including actual firing of the gun. If you or your child cannot handle guns, and the firing of them, do be warned.

I went to Sew Fun yesterday!  I went to a workshop and made an emoji pillow.  It was so cute!   I would recommend their workshops, though the classes and camps may be best for you.  I will definitely go back for more workshops, as they give beginning sewers a great start and the experts a good pattern and inspiration.  I would definitely recommend it to sewers, and wanna-be sewers. a

Today I went to Mass Audubon Broad Meadow Brook, for American Heritage Girls. My mom sponsored it. That makes me proud. We went on a hike, and played games, and found plants. My favorite part was playing with the turtle. He kept snapping at my fingers. I think that he thought they were worms. I would definitely recommend it, as an interesting, and educational, experience. It was a wonderful day!

Repeat Before Me (a modern day myth)

  This is a myth I wrote based on the story of Echo from Greek mythology.  I hope that you enjoy this modern day myth. :-)

Repeat Before Me

  Do you think talking is a challenge?  Do you think texting is hard?  I bet you think you have social issues.  But you don’t, that is unless you are like me, I can’t speak my own words.  I am cursed, and because of this, I can only speak the last words of people speaking to me. 

It’s hard when the teacher asks me “will you please answer the question?”

And I reply “Answer the question.”

She doesn’t understand, and sends me to the principal’s office, and the principal sends me to detention.  Not that I have anything to do anyways, as I can’t say yes or no until someone else says it to me.  But this is how it happens:

They ask “Hey, want to play kickball?  We need you on our team”

“Our team” I reply.

They snap “Yes or no!”

All I can do of course is lament “No.”

I never get to do anything because of it!  Life as an echo is hard.
