Hot Day At The Beach

They finally let us go for a swim because obviously it was steaming hot. Are they actually caring about how hot it was? I mean like people can die from the hotness of the day but they're just sitting there doing nothing, "lazy old adults." Going to the beach with my family was my most favourite thing to do, especially on hot days like this.
To the water I ran as the hot sun was burning my skin. There was no way I would want to get out of the water again, especially not after all those sunburns I got before. Plenty of times my mum told me to come eat, but I was too busy enjoying the cool water. Food wasn't important to me at that moment I just wanted to get rid of the sunburns I got, but how do you get rid of sunburns anyway without any sunscreen? And does water work because that's what I tried.
"Drink the saltwater, I dare you to!" yelled out my stupid cousin. "I'll make you eat the raw fish my dad caught if you don't be quiet!" I yelled back. Treats were given out to the little kids, but why not the older kids?

 
The adults are so not cool I mean all the kids should be treated the same way. Adults these days so, so bossy. I mean they tell all the big kids to do this, do that and then you look over your shoulder, the little kids are just sitting there being little annoying brats.
When you ask the adults if you can go somewhere they say no and then they say it's just how I show I care about you.

Twisted fairy tales

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful witch called Laykan, but she didn't like being pretty. One day she asked her Prince Charming on the wall, "who is the ugliest of them all?"
"You are your majesty," he said, lying.
The 2^nd day she asked the same thing but there was a different answer. He said "not you, you are the prettiest of them all. I'm sorry I can't help myself."
"I can't believe it!" Laykan cried. "How long have you lied to me?"
"Since you first laid eyes on me and hanged me on the wall," answered Prince Charming. "Oh and now you are the 2^nd prettiest of them all. That lovely girl over there is beautiful."
"That's it!" she yelled. "This is a competition. I want to be the prettiest!" So off she went. Even though just a minute ago she said she wanted to be the ugliest. I guess she changed her mind.
When she reached the girl, she said to her "oh no little girl, your face is breaking out. Take this cream." But all that did was make the girl's face smell like a peppermint foot. Laykan was angry, so she went to the huge mansion that the seven giants owned. She peeked in the window. No one was home. She sneaked inside and went into the pretty girls room and under her pillow was her diary. Laykan grabbed it and she started to read and she found out that her name was Delaney and her weakness was cookies.
Laykan ran home and grabbed a banana and dipped it in cookie crumbs and put banana yogurt all over the top and then she waited until Delaney got home. An hour later Delaney returned and went inside and the witch knocked on the door. "I wonder who that could be?" she said and answered the door.
"Hello," said the witch in an old women voice. "Would you like a banana?"
"Oh yes please," answered Delaney. The witch handed the banana to Delany and she bit it. "Mmmm, delightful."
"What, wrong banana? Damn it," said Laykan in her head. She gives a fake smile to the girl and runs home.
When she returned the Prince Charming asked "how are you so healthy?"
"Oh I just eat lots of fruit and veggies." replied Laykan. Then she picked up the banana and took a bite out of it, but what she forgot is that she is allergic to bananas. Uh, oh! She falls to the floor and that was the last of the witch well known as Laykan.

Shade & Shadow

When I was a tiny little baby I had 2 kitties named Shade and Shadow. Shade was all black and shadow was all black over her back and white underneath. They loved sleeping or sitting on me or on my cot. But that was then. I wish they were around now but they both passed away. When that had happened I was sad. Then we brought Milly, Bella and then Henry. I love them all. They are now my new toys.

Summer

Fishing!

Huhhh… finally a nice Saturday morning that means sleep in! But as soon as I TRY to go back to sleep my big brother storms in my room like a over weighted old elephant and said "hey earwig get up were going fishing". Well that just ruined my sleep in. I really hate fishing I remember when I got so feed up with my fishing rod because it wouldn't catch a fish that I threw it in the water. Dad said my punishment was that I had to go to every fishing trip we go on. So obviously I have to go on this one. I just hope I don't get sea sick again.
1hr later. We live just outside of Otane so it takes about 2hrs to get to the beach. It's so boring in the car you have always got nothing to do. Finally we are there it was freezing at the beach. Dad said it would warm up on the boat but I thought to myself it would just rain. Dad and Matt unhooked the boat and we all jumped in. Dad started up the motor. We were getting our fishing rods ready when I suddenly turned into a psychic because without surprise it started raining. Dad threw my fishing line into the water. I sat inside the shelter box on the boat I smelt something weird I checked under & over things around stuff but I just couldn't find it. I hadn't checked in one place that was under the pillow I lifted up the pillow and guess what I found A ROTTEN SANDWICH!!! I threw the pillow across the boat & screamed! Just then I felt my rod wiggle and wiggle and wiggle! I ran over to it I grabbed it and wound it up it was taking for ever to get it up to the surface. Dad finally helped me, it was about 3 mins after I realised that it was a pretty big fish. It was there I couldn't believe my eyes it was a giant Swordfish.
After Matt caught one, we all headed back. We had tea on the beach my favourite fish & chips. We also had a bonfire we sang some kiwi songs and the one thing I learnt today was that it's not the fishing rod that catches the fish it's your patience. And guess what? I actually go on every fishing trip that we go on just me and my fishing rod.

Ben’s Boredom

Waiting for the Care Bears to finish (Grumpy and Funshine are so yesterday).
Listening to old fashion music (even Justin Beiber is better than Elvis).
Waiting for your sister to get out of the bathroom (my hair is way more important).
No junk food to eat (bananas do not satisfy).
Getting put to bed early (mum I'm going to miss C.S.I).
Going to weddings (the worst part is the kiss, sooo gross).
Car trips (I'd rather be watching T.V or something).
But the most boring thing of all is… when your soccer coach keeps on yapping on about last week's game (all coaches do it).

Boredom sucks!

• Boredom is trying to stay awake while Mc Jaga tries to dance.
• Boredom is listening to "Ben" rave about the dictionary and how boring that is!
• Boredom is being suffocated into a black hole!
• Boredom is being tortured with watching rain trickle down the window.
• Boredom is waiting for your brother style his hair in the bathroom, while you get locked out and have your hair frizz up like an afro that is as big as the Grand Canyon!
• ·     Boredom is listening to Xavier read a one of Colin Thompson’s books and make it sound disastrous! 

By Bari!

What Is Boredom? .....

1. Sitting in the lounge watching a terrible move that you're parents picked out ( while your show is on )
2. When you're in your room, and it's freezing, and you absolutely CANNOT crank your heater up.
3. When you're staring at the T.V. on your favourite channel (P.s. the T.V. is off).
4. Sitting next to the loud mouth yappers in school....I'm not gonna say any names or anything….
5. Watching people on the other side of the street mocking me by eating their Rush Munro's ice cream.
   *6.) To my dad, boredom is trying to wake me up in the morning (like that's happening).
   *7.) To my step mum, boredom is waiting for me to get out of the shower (I take forever).
   *8.) To my 2 yr. old sister, boredom is waiting for me to play once I get back from school (she actually has a good sence of humour).

BOREDOM At Home

Boredom at home is…………

 
Lying in bed trying to get some sleep. "SNORE"
Boredom is waiting for tempting chocolate cake to finish baking.
It's waiting for my little brother to finish packing when we are going to Australia.
Boredom is also listening to your brother reading a story. "Read, read, read…"
Watching ads in the middle of your favourite show.
Boredom is waiting for your best friend to come over.
And boredom is when you're banned from T.V.

Top 5 skills to have your own party

Everyone party at my house!

• Make your guest list (you don't want too many people - it will be crowded, but you don't want too less people - it will be boring)
• Music you need to crank up the sounds so people actually want to stay
• Dance moves - you don't want to do dance moves like the robot or sprinkler or crumping. No! No! No!
• Clothes are a big part of your life. You need the best clothes so go beg for money and scavenge under the couches and your brother's room and go shopping.
• Decorations - you need to pimp up your house and put everything embarrassing in your closet
• Surprise - oh and did I mention every birthday should have a surprise?

BOREDOM

Here`s something boring. You're going on a bus to a movie called Zombie Blood Party with your grandma. Well sort of your grandma and actually you're going to see a love story.
You look out the window. Your grandma`s moving but she`s moving, hmmmm let`s see, at a snail's pace. "Hurry up lady! It`s likely we're going to leave without you!" someone yells out. I'm guessing it's the bus driver but she doesn't hear him. She`s half deaf. I tap on the window, but she still doesn`t hear.
5 minutes later (it felt like forever though) she finally got on the bus. We hurried into the movies. They had started half an hour ago, so we had to wait until the next movie. At last we got in. I sat in between two guys. As soon as the movie started it was interesting, but only one thing spoiled it. Well, actually two things spoiled it. One, I didn`t have any popcorn and two the movie was in BLACK AND WHITE!
I tried to get out but the two men beside me had put their feet up. I tried to get out but they wouldn`t budge. Guess I'm stuck here. Oh and did I mention I would rather watch the love story with my grandma instead?

<sub>How to walk:
Learn to walk from the way the moon slowly moves
and takes in all the beautiful things around him.
To trot:
Learn to trot from the way a cat sneaks around looking for trouble.
To canter:
Learn to canter from the way wild mustangs run
and the earth unravels beneath them.
To gallop:

Dirt flying everywhere, moving like thunder
Everything is a blur.

Boredom is…

Boredom is when I can't think of something to write.

Boredom is when someone gets told off every five minutes.

Boredom is waiting for the star wars to finish (I think I've still got that tune stuck in my head).

Boredom is when mum turns one of those old movies on and laughs at EVERY WORD!

 

Boredom is when you are watching a fish tank in the middle of the night while listening to your dad snore.

Adults

I think adults are silly.
For example one day they say "how cute he just threw peas at me".
Three years later: "How dare you throw peas at me? No TV for a week!"
Also at sports they say "run faster!" We should reply "like to see you run faster," but we can't or there will be punishment.
So adults get authority and get to tell people to do stuff. That's annoying because they can barely do stuff themselves.
So this is the verdict:
Adults = old and fragile.
Children = young and athletic.
