Untitled (Woman That Had a Temper)
By Sebby D, Loyola Park After School Program
That's Weird, Grandma
One day there was an old woe-man that had a temper. She hated every one and used her photo album as a fly swatter and hit everyone she saw with it. There was a plane she was supposed to get on the next day for people who wanted to meet Peter Pan. (actually she wanted to hit him). The next day she loaded her luggage (filled with toe jam, her cane, and her clothing. shorts and t-shirts only) and got on the plane. When she arrived she went to get her luggage she saw a bag that looked exactly the same as the one behind it. She grabbed the one behind but because of how old and grumpy she was, she didn’t look at the baggage tag. When she got to her hotel she looked in her suit case and found- a tuxedo, long pants, and long sleeve shirts, and NO TOE-JAM! She was infuriated. She looked at the baggage tag, and it’s name said “The Manager of Disney World”. She HATED Him! (Well, she hated everyone).

Please do not read percenal. I am a ginger bread girl have many friends. Yesterday I went to see my friend the ginger bread man when is he going to learn he is not as fast as he thinks. To day while I was walking a man and a woman tried to eat me. Why am I so dilishouse (delicious). After school my mom and I went to the store I got a new gumdrop coat. Us ginger bread people love to look our best. After that I went to get some thing to eat. I had a very sweet chocolaty drink that my mom shared with me. When I got to my house me and my brother played swords with my peppermint stick. Before I went to bed I read a book about people. Then I began to go to sleep. I had a night meer that people were chasing me they wanted to dip me in milk so I get soggy right before they ate me I woke up.
