Chan and I went to parent teacher conference last week and Will's teacher insisted that he bring home his journal so that he could share his writing with us. We already knew that Will is a very creative writer because he has ALWAYS been one, but I have to admit these stories in here are some of his BEST EVER! So I wanted to share one that made me laugh and thought you all might enjoy it too! Let me and Will know what you think! :)
Super Pencil
By William Crismon

A long time ago in Pencil City there lived a pencil who worked a nuclear plant. One day a circuit broke “Hey you” screamed the manager. He jumped in to save the man and he hit him away. He gets shot by the rays and he wakes up in the hospital feeling sick. The man that he saved said, “Man you saved me” and then pencil says “I did” and then he said “Ya the doc said he would get you out ASAP- well see ya.”
And in the desert the dynamic Dr. Glue is planning an evil plot to shoot lasers at the city. So it will be destroyed and he could take over the world and destroy it piece by piece, starting with Pencil City because they kicked him out of the city because he was different. So he wanted revenge on them. The next day Dr. Glue left the desert to go back to Pencil City.
“AH finally home” pencil said. Right as he walked through the door- “SURPRISE”- yelled his family. It was his birthday and he totally forgot. He started to cry, “Thanks, that’s what family is for.” Later that night he was up late eating cake and his wife yells, “ Honey are you coming to bed?” He yelled, “YA”. Next thing you know he flew and he was amazed to see that he landed. Now he ran super fast he picked up his 100 pound weight with one finger and didn’t break. “The nuclear blast it must have given me powers! Let’s see what other powers I have.” He looked at his car a 1999 model of the Toyota Corolla. Suddenly it turned into the new pencil model. He got in and there was a cool GPS, nitro shooters and could go 40,060 miles per hour!!! He took it out for a spin and when he came back it was morning. He went in to change and the door was broken down. He ran in and was shocked. He searched everywhere and no one was there. There was a note on the fridge with a glue magnet. It read, “Dear Mr. Pencil, I have taken your family for ransom. For your family to return safely I need 1 million dollars in cash for ransom and with hate, Dr Glue.” “P.S. And a cheeseburger”. What the heck??!!! One million dollars in CASH!! That is a lot! How am I going to get that much money? I got an idea! A lemonade stand!! Five cents- wait this is not going to work unless I use my powers. That is the only way!! Let’s see if I can make a super suit. Ok, cut here, sew there, glue here, bullet proof vest, right here, a little stitch…DONE! All right, let’s get this done! All right computer BOB, are you uploaded? “YES SIR”. Okay three, two, one and we’re up woo hoo! Ooops this is where I don’t want to go- YIKES! Okay the desert. Let’s check all of them. Is it southern- no, western- no, eastern –no, northern- YES! BOOM! Ha it’s up Dr. Glue I found you! Dr. Glue area scan please computer BOB “ YES SIR, AREA SCAN STARTING 3,2,1………….AREA SCAN POSITIVE.” Wait show me please. “ OKAY SIR.” There they are!!
Dr. Glue is telling Mr. Pencils family, “Looks like your husband is too afraid to fight me himself. “ Just as he says that Mr. Pencil arrives and says, “No I wasn’t!! Take this…” Punches and kicks were flying through the air. Dr. Glues glue was spilling everywhere!! Dr. Glue says, “Your on my last nerve Mr. Pencil” so he pulls out his super hot glue gun and shoots it. But Mr. Pencil deflects it and it hits him right back and it sends him to outer space!! As he flies away he yells, “I’ll be back!!” Mr. Pencil says, ”We won’t see him anytime soon. His kids say, “Ya, your right Dad.” Hey I am not your Dad! “Yes you are!” No I am really NOT your Dad! “Then why are you wearing Dad’s Wedding ring?” Okay, you win. I will beat you home- C’mon!! “But we have no transportation.” Okay I will carry you all.
THE END………………FOR NOW
It's a tradition in our family to have the kids wake up to something for them on the kitchen island on their birthday! Usually there is balloons and a gift, but this year Chan made a home made three layer cake!! It turned out awesome and Will was very impressed!
It is also a tradition to do a simple yet fun breakfast and this year Will picked out cinnamon rolls that I warmed in the microwave for them.
This however was a first!! Will decided to dance his way through the birthday song! it was pretty cute!
Here he is with gift number one that he opened! A cool new transformer! Just when I thought they had them all they go and make another one!
Here is gift number two- a new nerf gun! This is an activity the kids share with their Dad- they LOVE to get into wars with each other! Even Brianne gets involved!
