I know more than one kid who is begging their parents to get them a pet, but their parents, especially their mother, say that they will be the ones stuck taking care of it. Pets are a lot of responsibility. I used to beg my parents for a dog. But I will not any more. And I will never, ever ask for a unicorn. I have one, and it’s a lot of work. I’ve almost […] Read more »
Yes, that’s right. This post is about how you can weigh your horse model. The regular way to weigh a horse model is with a weight scale, or whatever you call those things people weigh themselves on. But I do not do that. I do not weigh the model to see how much it weighs. I weigh my model horses to see how heavy they would be if they were real. I do that using […] Read more »
This has been an eventful year for me. A couple of months ago, I found a unicorn. People are after it, and one day I was with it, and we got seen. I mounted the unicorn, and he bolted into his own land, the Land of Mythology and Beliefs, and then he started talking to me. He says his name is The Unicorn, but he didn’t tell me whether he is a he or a […] Read more »
I poke the tiny puzzle piece into place. My best friend, Marabeth, gave me the puzzle for my tenth birthday. It is a special puzzle. It has a big center piece of a unicorn, and little puzzle pieces that fit around the unicorn that make up the scenery. I have just finished putting together the scenery. I glance around my bedroom. Where is that unicorn piece? “Oh unicorn,” I call softly, “come out of mythology!” […] Read more »
There was once a girl who decided to write a secret code. So a secret code she did write. Of course, it is not so secret now, for I am writing of it. The code was so hard, no one could figure it out. And it was all based on six regular symbols and four symbols that you may be familiar with, ♦ ♥ ♣ ♠ and one you may not be familiar […] Read more »
I think I will write a letter today. “Why?” you ask. “Because I want to.” I think I will write a letter today. “To whom?” you ask. “To you.” I think I will write a letter today. “What of?” you ask. “This conversation.” I think I will write a letter today. “Where?” you ask. “In my bedroom.” I think I will write a letter today. “How?” you ask. “With a […] Read more »
Seven schoolboys, Caius, Mucius, Flavius, Publius, Julius, Rufus, and Antonius, lead a dull and boring life in ancient Rome, (772 by Roman years, 24 A.D. by American years). That is, until Rufus hangs a wax tablet stating in plain words, CAIUS IS A DUMBBELL, on the wall of the classroom, gets in a fight with Caius, and is expelled from school by their teacher Xantippus. But when the very same words appear on the sacred […] Read more »
Horses live in herds for protection. People have cliques, but for what? People can race horses. Horses can’t race people. Horses’ hooves wear down as they grow in the wild. People have to clip their toe nails to keep them short. If wishes were people, then no one would ride. If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. Horse’s teeth continue growing as they get older. People’s teeth might fall […] Read more »

At Christmas time, you usually see lots of little Santa Clauses in front of people’s houses, and you might even see a sign with the words Merry X-mas! in bright letters across the middle. It seems people have taken Christ out of Christmas. One day I looked up the word Christmas in a Sign Language Dictionary. What I discovered was not what I had expected, and made me quite, the sign consisted of two signs – the […] Read more »
