Solutions to the crime mysteries

Sam was the criminal in “The Case of the Ruined roses.” I know he is the criminal because The whole UFO thing started in 1947 but it actually started in the 1800′s.

Mrs. Stearns is the criminal in “The Case of the Disappearing signs.” She didn’t want the house to sell so she took the wooden signs. 

A week as a dollar bill

$$$A dollar bill for a week$$$

 

Tuesday-Wow I’m going to be used to help poor people? Well I didn’t mean it like that but its awesome that I can be used to make peoples lives better.  I feel special. I do, I really do. Seriously, people need to stop thinking that I’m just $1. I’m way more then that. I can change a person’s life. Ok. I think I’m exaggerating, maybe a little.

Wednesday- Oh my goodness! There is a big, nasty, brown, and furry spider on me! AAAAH! Ok, its gone now. FWOO! Thankyou, Mrs. Robinson. Too bad, she can’t hear me. You know I just joined this family yesterday and I can see they bought new furniture and I’m going to be used for a present for their daughter Ella. She’s turning 16.

Thursday- So Friday’s Ella’s sweet sixteen. She really disserves it. Ok not to change the subject but it smells so good in the house right now! “Mom! I smell my favorite cookies!” I could tell Ella was really craving for something sweet.

Friday- I’ve never see so many teens in the same room in all my green, smelly, economic life! Well it looks like the next friend or “guest” is here. Don’t tell Ella but I already know what her “big” present, from her parents, is. It’s ok, you’ll find out. “Surprise,” her parents had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. Literally, it was like ear to ear! “Mom! Dad! AAAH! I love you! It was a laptop. “ But how’d you afford it?” Ellas face was rose red. “We’ve been saving up and your dad got a new promotion at work.”

Saturday- Well, I’m going to be used for groceries. Wow! Were

at the cashier already? I just realized how much I will miss the Robinson’s. Bye! Oh Darn it! She can’t hear me! I feel like my journey will never end. At least until some 3 year old tears me up and I permanently die.

 5 years later… that’s exactly what happened.

Things from a different perspective

• How does an older wooden chair look to a tired person? A termite? An antique collector?

 

Look at that thing, just sitting there. There’s so many cracks Its not even funny. The shiny wooden color paint has faded away to a harsh tone of brown. Maybe if I sit down on it will finally break. If it does my dead grandpa will haunt me for life. Well not that I believe in that stuff. Who cares, I’m so tired. I cant even walk to my bedroom. Why does my life have to be so hard? Three people dead in my family, and what else can be worse? Oh yes, I almost forgot. Not! My wife left me. How could I be so stupid and actually think she married me because she loved me and not for my money. Who am I kidding? All women are like that. Looking at this wooden chair brings back so many painful memories. Even the annoying disgusting termites tonight don’t matter. Although, “Hey, get off the chair…this ain’t wood…this is plastic! Ok I lied!” “Wow whats wrong with this man. He really needs to get a life! Enough thinking! I want to eat…WOOD! Aha and one more thing……I’m not disgusting! Owww! I’ve lived for 10 years! I’m too old of a bug to die! “Eh I’ll just leave this bug alone. As long, as it promises never to bite me!” Bug whispers, “Ok, I won’t.”  “knock, knock, knock..knoooooockkk, BOOOM!”  I’m thinking, seriously, who could that be at this time at night? “Hello sir, I’m an antique collector. This means I collect antiques!” Todd replies, “Well obviously.” “Don’t even try to be sarcastic with me! I’m not in the mood!” the antique collector was looking at the wooden chair the whole time. “Look, umm what’s your name again?”  “My name is Bill Clinton, please no autographs, Todd.” “Oh so you’re here for the wooden chair, because I noticed you staring at it?” Todd really didn’t want to sell this wooden chair. It had been in the family for years.

• How does a train station look to a train? To a duck flying overhead? To a passenger arriving too late for the train?

I’ve been carrying all these people for hours man! How long do I have to keep doing this? You know I really need a break! I carry fat people! They add more weight on me! They actually do! I carry like 500 people per every train station stop. Ok! A half more mile left and I finally get a rest. I wonder what the next train station will look like. Is it worthy of such a good train like me? Yes! Finally I’ve arrived. What town is this?Naples? You don’t believe me? Check the name of the train station. It’s calledNaples, Italiano Train Station 147.

Flap, flap, flap, flap. I’m so tired of flying! That’s it! I’m stopping for a break. I flew over the Mediterranean Sea and overSpainand on the way stopped for a rest and some food in the city ofMadrid. Now, apparently I’m inItaly, according to this pretty-looking-I-can-see-the-shiny-lights-from-1,000 miles-away train station. I’ve never seen a more beautiful train station in my whole life. Well, not that I’ve been to many you know. Being a duck and all. I’m super duck! Because I can fly!

Oh no I’m late! The wedding is in 35 minutes! How can I be late to my sisters wedding? I’m the maid of honor! You got to be freaking kidding me! Ok I should stop panicking! What am I saying? My sister will be so mad if I’m late!  Well if I’m late I better start thinking of a really good excuse. Its ok it’s not like I’m going to lie. I really do have an excuse. I’ll tell her that I was walking to a store on the street and a little girl had a strawberry sorbet in her hand and she tripped over her moms foot and the sorbet went flying and landed in my hair. It went splat! In my hair! I went home and took a shower, got dressed and the train was late a couple minutes over. So? What do you think?  It’s pretty good, huh?

•   How does a highway look to a tire? To a lost pilot? To a crow?

Maybe rainbow roads should’ve been invented. These same roads are so boring. Yes, they’re smooth and everything but I don’t know. Same old you know? And me! why do I only go round and round? Being a tire sucks. I want to be a bird who can fly or maybe a pilot who can fly a plane. That guy for instance. Yeah I’m pointing to some airplane right now. Well, I’m not exactly pointing. Ha-ha

Oh wow, where am I? People pay me to know! Ok it looks like I’m over some road. Maybe I can just land here. Wait! I can’t land here! Cars are driving! Look at that highway just waiting for me to land on it! I don’t want to kill anyone. Good thing I’m just taking a joy ride on this private jet that I just bought last week. I’ve been dying to try it out. I wanted to try it out and practice before I would actually take someone with me. Aaaah! I need to stop panicking! I can do this! Ok why in the world (hitting it) is that red button blinking? Stop blinking you dumb button! Stop! Stop! This better not be a crash landing! Here I go! AAAAAHHHHH! OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! I DON’T WANT TO DIE!

Wow! Whoever was in that plane that just crashed on the grass is lucky to be alive! Man! Good thing that jet didn’t crash on the highway. Speaking of highways is it me or does this highway keep getting wider and wider? The cars look like little bugs from up here and the highway looks like a thin grayish blackish line. CRrrrrrAAA! CRrrrAAA! CRrrrrrrrrrrAAA! I’m an ugly black crow. It sucks. Seriously why couldn’t have I been a swan or something? Now I’m beginning to sound like “swan lake.” You got to admit that was a good movie.

Being in ISR(in school restriction)

Being in ISR all day was awesome! No I want to get in trouble much more often!

 

Really, really? I get stuck in ISR for yelling at someone? Hey, they disserved it! They were pissing me off, what am I supposed to do just sit there and let the person bug me forever? BTW: ISR is In School Restriction. Coming into the ISR room felt so creepy. All the lights were off and no one was in the room. It was like any other classroom only empty. Right when I came in I noticed this weird looking door. I walked up to it and when I opened it I saw another door. Just as I was about to open it I heard a teacher coming so I quickly shut all the doors as fast as I could. The teacher or whoever he was walked in whistling. He saw me but didn’t really care. He looked at me and walked right past me or should I say ran right past me. “Why you in here?” he said. Maybe he was a teacher. I didn’t know what to say so all I said was “I’m in trouble.” “Well obviously, I asked you why.” “Some kid was pissing me off so I was yelling at him and cussing at him and stuff and got in trouble for it.” The teacher never changed his face expression. “Oh well you’re in here all day, have fun.” I’ll be back in about 30 minutes ‘cuz I’m going to a meeting. I’m trusting you so don’t screw it up.” I waited until he left. I stood up and ran to the mysterious door. Well what else am I going to call it? I think I went through like 5 doors until I finally reached a door that said “You’re almost there, just 100 more doors to go.” I opened the door and the next door said, “Haha I was just kidding. Open the next door and you’ll see.” I opened the door and I literally went blind for like 2 seconds. I opened my eyes and some people just chilling and having fun. I couldn’t believe it but I think I actually saw like a mini amusement park. There were roller coasters and everything. I rubbed my eyes like 10 times to make sure it wasn’t a dream. Right next to me was a candy cotton machine with some really pretty chic who was making me one. “ How much does it cost?” Julie, apparently, said “It’s free. Have fun!” “What is this place?” “This is where all the ISR kids go. It was Mr. Cade’s idea. He made this place. He’s actually a really big millionaire but no one knows that.” “Oh so the guy in the ISR teacher is Mr. Cade?” “Yeah that’s him. If you were paying attention he told you to ‘have fun.’ Is that correct?” “Yeah how’d you know?” “Because that’s what he tells all the kids who go to ISR. Not all of them are smart enough to get up and actually look through Mr. Cade’s room. But you, you’re lucky you found this place.” “So I won’t get in trouble or anything right?” “No you won’t. Just go have fun. You only have like 15 minutes left until he comes back.” I came back after 15 minutes and then I asked Mr. Cade if I could go back to the fun ISR place and he said I could but he kept reminding me not to tell anyone. He was truly serious about it. I could see he didn’t want anyone to find out about it. I had so much fun. I wanted to puke from eating so much candy and snacks.

——-The next day——-

 

“So how was ISR?” “Wow I was so bored I fell asleep and had the craziest dream I have ever had. It was so real.”

 

 

 

 

What if….

• If I could fly where ever I wanted I would use this ability when I just wanted to get away from everything and everyone. I would fly when I would feel sad and even being in a corner in your room would never get you away. You might be wondering how I would fly. I would have wings that no one knew about.

 

• If there were no televisions then I’d be very bored. If they weren’t invented then I wouldn’t know what they were and how much fun they would bring. Since we do have T.V’s then not having them or them taken a way would be horrible because I love watching TV and movies. Its really cool that we have technology like that these days.

 

• If people never co-operated then everything would be done individually and everyone wouldn’t be social able at all. There would be no friendships, no business partners, no teacher, doctors, and so much more. I can name hundreds of things that this not co-operating would do to the people. Even the whole world.

 

• If it really did rain cats and dogs. I really don’t know what we would do. I would officially be freaked out. This would be a really big problem. Raining cats and dogs would possibly damage buildings, houses, etc. Some people may even get hurt. All I could say is that it would be so weird.

 

• If animals could talk they would make really good friends. Even though if someone saw you talking to an animal they would think you were eerie.  I would ask questions like so are you funny? Do  you make your friends laugh? Are you even friends with other animals that are not your species? I would ask them if they understood other animals and if they ever talked in animal language.

 

• If everyone wore the same clothes then the world would be very boring. That is, color wise. There would be no fashion shows, or name brands, or even someone saying a new style came out. Nobody would try to impress one another.

 

• If I threw a piece of trash on the ground and if everyone did then the Earth would soon turn into a filthy planet that would affect the animals and their surroundings around us. We probably wouldn’t even want to live on Earth anymore. Throwing trash on the ground could get worse and to the point where it would stink outside your front yard.

 

• If I could walk up walls and across ceilings then that would be very cool. I have no idea what I would do because I can’t and I don’t know what that would feel like. Maybe I could act like Spider man and save people. Ha-ha I wish.

 

• If I grew taller than trees then that would change my life drastically. You ask why? I’ll tell you. I wouldn’t fit in my bed. I’d have to sleep outside in the cold or hot. I would probably eat more than regular people and people would be frightened of me. No if everyone was taller than the trees then the world would be a completely different place. Buildings, houses, stores, anywhere…would be sizes bigger. We would be like giants. I can only imagine what that is like.

 

• If there were no cars, buses, trains, boats, or planes then this would change my life in a large way. If I didn’t even know that these things can exist or what they were then that would be a different story. Overall if I didn’t have these things then that would really suck. I think the whole world would be a different place. No one would travel as much because no one wants to walk long distances. We wouldn’t really know what other countries looked like. I also think that if we didn’t even have buses, trains, etc., then we probably wouldn’t have other things invented now. Life would be so boring. It would seem normal if I didn’t know about these things but if I did and I didn’t have them then that would suck.

 

• If everyone lived underwater then I’m guessing we would be like mermaids. People would live in big coral places. Maybe we would be smart enough to make a water city. Games that we would play could be something as simple as jumping on jellyfish. Or playing tag with other fish. Running away from nice harmless sharks would also be interesting. If there was a school then the teachers would most likely be teaching us how to swim or use our special powers. (if we had any. That is.)

 

• If I found gold in my backyard well its pretty obvious what I would do with it. I would turn it in for money. First I’d take a picture of it so people would believe me. Then I could tell any news cast. I would have my 15 minutes of fame on TV too.

 

• If a bully bothered me on the way home I would first tell my parents and then I would tell the school. If the school would not do anything about it then I know my parents would. If that would not stop the bully, I would try talking nicely to him/her. Remember violence doesn’t solve anything.

 

• If I did very poorly on a test then I wouldn’t beat myself up about it. I would start studying harder and be prepared next time. I know I would feel down in the dumps but sometimes you just have to move on. Maybe I would learn from my mistakes and use them to make better decisions.

 

• If a friend borrowed things from me and never returned them then I would tell that person to return them and if he/she didn’t then I would go in their room and take all that’s mine. When it comes to never returning I show no mercy. I’ll go in that persons house with or without permission and take back whats mine. If the person destroyed my belongings then I would make them pay me the money back.

• If I was the teacher and everyone forgot their homework then I would teach them a lesson and give a lot of classwork and double homework and if they didn’t finish it all (which is possible) then I would give them all F’s. This might sound harsh but you can’t teach the kids a lesson by being super nice to them They won’t take you seriously and they won’t listen. You will continue giving F’s and in time they will all see that their grades are dropping rapidly. In time they will respect the teacher and start doing all their work.

 

• If I was in the middle of a lake and my boat started to leak then well all you can do is get out of the boat and start swimming to any place you can find to land on. Now if its somewhere like florida, for instance, where the lakes are full of alligators and who knows what else, then well I’d try not to freak out and stay in my boat. If I stay in the boat I have to try to find a way to stop the leak or keep taking out the water that goes in, while rowing your boat to any place big in enough to land. I’m not saying you’ll 100% survive but it’s more like 50/50 you know?

 

• If my friend had a broken leg I would cheer him up by making him or her laugh. I would make sure they would go to the hospital to get it checked out. Afterward when he or she came back I would take them out to eat (well if I had the money). Then I would tell them to give it some time because in time it would heal.
• If I woke up in another country and no one understood me I would feel so lost. I would go and start learning whatever countries language it was. If it was Italy, I would start to learn Italian. You ask how I would learn? Well, I honestly don’t know. Maybe I’ll be wandering the city and somewhere I would hear a random person speaking my language. Maybe then that person could become my friend and we would wander the country together. Two heads are better than one and I will feel much better being with someone else that could help me. But before that I would probably wonder for the rest of my life how in the world I woke up in another country.

 

• If I ordered an ice-cream cone and forgot to bring my money well all I can say is that would be embarrassing. If I already got my ice-cream cone then I would ask someone to pay for me and promise to pay them back. I’d jot down there phone number and meet them somewhere the next day to pay back the money. If the person proffered I not to pay back then I would not argue if the person was being a helpful hand.

• If someone went in front of me in a line at the movies I’d probably not say anything. If there was limited space and someone cut me in line then that’s a different story. I would tell that person to get back where he or she was and say that it was not fair what he or she did. I would have a solemn look on my face so the person would take me seriously.

• If there was on hotdog left and neither me nor my friend have had one I would give it to my friend or just go to another place to get a hotdog. I mean seriously, come on, the proper thing to do would be those two options. But then again ,this is just my opinion. We would both be happy if we just went to another place to get a bite to eat. There’s no point of staying if there’s no more hotdogs left.

 

• If two of my best friends went to the movies without inviting me then the next day I would ask them why. If I fell for their excuse then I would continue being friends but other than that I would say they weren’t my real friends. You don’t just leave a best friend out if you’re real best friends. Being a “best friend” is being a lot of things and leaving someone out is not one of them.
• If I got a present I didn’t like then I would act like I liked it just to make the person who gave me the gift, feel good. Then I would probably give it to someone else. If I ever saw that person again I would never bring up a conversation about the present. I’m not the type of person that would tell someone right then and there that I didn’t like their present. That would be so rude and inconsiderate.

• If I promised to feed my pet and I didn’t well then, poor my little pet. I would feed it at the moment I remembered. But you see when you make a promise you have to keep it. This is what I know and it’s a good lesson to learn in life.

• If someone told me a joke that I didn’t think was funny then I would not laugh.  I would tell them I didn’t think its funny but I would tell them that its not anything personal its just I don’t find the joke humorous. I’d try to say it in the most politest way as possible. Trust me, I’m not one to hurt peoples feelings.

• If I wanted to be friends with someone who spoke no English I would try to learn a little of their language. To be honest me, personally, I wouldn’t want to be friends with that person. In order to be friends with someone you have to communicate with that person. It would drive me crazy trying to talk to this person, well whoever it was.

The Brick Story

I’m a brick. Yes, I know what you’re going to say. I don’t mean much right? Well, I’ve heard more than most people have their entire lives. I was made in some kind of factory. To be honest, I have no idea where I was made. It would be cool to find out but my point is that now I have a job, a meaning in my (you think) boring brick life. I will surprise you. You know the expression “Been there, done that”? Let me tell you that I’ve been there, seen, and heard that. You might be interested about what my place in this world really was. Was it to guard soldiers in war from enemy attacks being part of a brick wall? Was it to be carved into some kind of decoration and to be put outside in the front yard? That would’ve been a shame, because then I would’ve never saw what people were like and what they did. I was put in a brick wall that was to surround a classroom that later became an entire school, a high school, to be exact. Yes, where all the gossip, rumors, and broken hearts happen. I discovered a whole new side to the world when I was part of a white wall and right underneath the fire extinguisher. No one ever paid attention to me. Well, why would they? I mean I was just a white brick next to another white brick and we weren’t alike but no one would ever notice. It was annoying to be next to the front door of the classroom because hearing the door open and close a million times a day is not exactly pleasing to my, believe it or not, brick ear. Hey I have feelings too. Don’t feel bad. I’m glad no one knew I could hear, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to hear all these secret conversations or the jokes that I never thought were funny. One day I heard two girls talking about how they were going to have a big party at one of their houses and they weren’t going to invite their supposedly “best friends” to the party. They said that if their best friends found out about the party then whoever told them would pay. Immediately, I’m thinking that this could really get bad. The next day I heard someone got beat up bad at the party. I couldn’t believe that no one would even find out. I see the good and bad sides of high school. Not to be random or anything but it seems like I’m a little whiter than the other bricks. You don’t have to get up and look but again I just want to be noticed. Being here in the same spot for about 10 years, I have noticed there has been a lot of changes. When I first got here they had Black Boards. You know the ones where you write with chalk. Then a couple years ago these new Active Boards appeared. How cool is that? It’s like a huge flat computer. The walls were covered with all sorts of posters and decorations. I really liked reading any posters with quotes on them. This one quote that was inspirational, especially to me, was, “You’re so much more.” Yeah right. I only wish. Then, during the last week of winter break, you can’t imagine how bored I felt, I actually missed all the people that I saw in the classroom everyday. The classroom was dingy and I felt isolated. My story, well it continues and will as long as this classroom is here. Hopefully, it will be here for a long time.
