A Day in the Life of Henry

A Day in the Life of Henry

There once was a boy, a very sarcastic boy, by the name of Henry Chance. Henry was an eight year old little boy that became the class clown of his third grade class by the second week of school. All of Henry’s class mates loved because of how amusing he was. But there was that “one kid” who hated him because all of Henry’s jokes were about this kid ad every chance that Henry got to make fun of him, he did. At one point in the school year Henry and this “one kid” got sat next to each other and every day Henry would make fun of “this kid”. Then one day came where Henry made a huge outburst in front of the whole class. He stood up on his wooden creaky chair and shouted in a very sarcastic voice,” I don’t know about you guys, but this kid sitting next to me is stinking up this entire classroom, anybody want to trade seats?”.
“The kid” sitting next to him stood up and said in a very furious tone of voice, “Well I wouldn’t be talking smelly Mic farty pants, every two seconds you are farting and filling up this room with gaseous toxins that make me gag, so maybe its yourself that your smelling!?”.
The bell rang for school to be dismissed so everyone but that “one kid” got up and left. As Henry was walking out the door, “the kid” got up and followed him out the door until they went on separate buses to go home. As they were both getting on to their busses Henry shouts, “ Hey “kid” don’t forget to take a shower tonight so you don’t stink tomorrow. Oh wait I forgot you don’t own a shower you use a hose to bath in your back yard”.
“ Haha your soooo funny Henry, maybe you should be a comedian when you grown up, oh wait! you couldn’t be, your NOT funny!”, shouted “that kid” while sticking his head out the window while the busses parted ways to take the kids home.

When I Do Nothing....

          Bzzzz….bzzzz….bzzzz, my phone lit up with a text from my friend Ashley. I touched the view button and it said,” what r u up to?” . My response back to this overused text was, “oh nothing much wbu?” But really what I was doing was watching TV and texting many other people because I was so bored with nothing else to do. I don’t know why I said nothing when I was really watching T. So I began to think about this for a pretty long time until I came up with a conclusion.

            There are many reasons why people say they are doing nothing when they really are doing something. The first reason is that they don’t want to talk to anybody at that moment so they just shrug them off and say that they are do nothing thinking that the other person won’t respond. But the truth is the other person knows that you are in fact doing something and they know that you’re trying to ignore them. The other reason why I think people say they’re doing “nothing is because they are trying to hide something. For example one time I was watching TV when I was supposed to be doing homework. Then my mom called me and s\asked me what I was doing and of course I said, “oh nothing just finishing my homework”, so I didn’t get in trouble.  

            Doing “nothing” in today’s world means to do something worthless that does not benefit anyone or anything. Most people would say you should never just do “nothing” because there is always something to be done. But, my personal opinion on this is you should do “nothing” when you feel like it. Because think about it, how do people come up with new ideas such as the new technology these days? They sit down and think how they could improve on old things to make them new technology. Sitting down and thinking is practically doing “nothing”. Therefore, if people didn’t do “nothing” every once and while are world would be a disaster waiting to happen.

            Suddenly my phone lit up again, I instantly thought,”oh great, it’s Ashley again”. So once again I touched the view button and it turns out it was a text from my mom asking me once again, “What are you doing?” I text back “oh nothing just doing my homework”. When really I had just woken up because I fell asleep watching TV and pondering about what I can do instead of watching TV, so I could be productive.  All in all, I think everyone should take a minute out of their life to just do “nothing: because something great might come out of it.

The Night of Halloween

The Night of Halloween

Ghosts, goblins, and clowns, oh my! The season of fall is when all these creatures come out. They come out the night of the October 31^st. There are many kids that dress up and walk door to door just to say, “Trick or treat” and hold out their bags expecting candy to be put in. But when the dweller of the house says, “sorry we’re out.”, the kids slump their shoulders and put on a fake smile and say, ”thanks anyway” and walk away dragging their feet. Until they get to the next house with lights and candy galore. A real smile is put on their faces and as a handful of candy is dropped into their bags they watch to see what they got. They run away cheerfully while saying, “happy Halloween!, thanks!”, not knowing what to expect at the next house with only a porch light on.
