If chocolate was free
I would jump around and say
Whoopee!!!
I would grow the chocolate
for you and me so we can eat.
If you come and marry me,
free chocolate you will see!

That's Weird, Grandma
One day I wished I had a bike. I always told my mom when are you going to buy me a bike. She said Maybe to…Suddenly she stopped. I got scared she was stop like if she has never seen a clock before. About 10 minutes later she started to scream. She said I was late for school. I said today was Saturday then she said O…..She stopped again. So I said this is hopeless. This always happens to my mom when she gets worried or when she is late! I said I am going outside but my mom started to talk so I had a sigh. Then I told her, “stop stopping”. So she did. So then I lived without having any troubles with my mom.
