an excerpt from Me, My Family, and Everyone Else!

[...] And then I'm going to tell you about how I got all my pets!

When I was little I went to Taiwan but my dad stayed home and he bought Andy my dog.  She grew very quickly.  When I was little, Then I got my fish.  There were alot at first. But now there isn't that much.  Then when I was about 5, I bought a pet rabbit  Then about the next month it died, because when my dad put it outside me and my mom kept it inside because it was winter. And that kept on happening.  But what made it stop?  One day when it was snowing, my rabbit was outside  Since it was so cold, my rabbit died.  Then in a very long time I got 2 turtles from a friend since she was going to Korea.   Then not so long from now, oneday, my family was cleaning the house, my dad told me the turtles were dead and he threw them away.

Let's be sure not to include this blurb in any pet adoption applications.

a nine-year old's first impression of new york city

We are now in New York City.  It isn't as scary as I thought.  But I still think I've to be very careful.  (We're going to visit a lot of places. Broadway musical, Chinatown, Prett, maybe central park, the Statue of Liberty, and maybe the Empire State building)
by Claire Wang

Forgot to tell 'ya something!
We flew from Baltimore, and the airplane was pretty small.  We also still have to wait for a suitcase 'cause it was sent to another place.  Now, we can't take a shower.  (But I mean Hurray!)
BYE!!!

Right now, were off to the Empire state building.  Aftheer, we're going to go to Broadway Musical.  See 'ya later Collie! '

Hi. So here we are in Old York City.  It doesn't look New to me.  I wanna tell you ya something.  We actually didn't go to the Empire State Building but we rode inside a horse carriage!  It was nice. Oh! Did I tell you I got a new Beanie Baby named Strut the rooster? It's really cute.  I can't wait to see the Statue of Liberty.  But I do think it's a bit far away.

Not exactly for but......
I'M BORED!!!! Now what? Oh yeah. Mom's going to wash my hair.  Oh how I wish I hadn't missed Sport's Day (sigh) Oh, ah, mom's calling.  See you later aligator!

OOOHH! Finally!  Done with that! "When are we going to Broadway Musical?" "Were going........" I am waiting patient OKAY!  Were going!

It's reaaaally late right now.  I went to see 'Beauty & the Beast,' a Broadway Musical.  Well, goodnight.  I am ready to sleep.
Yawn,
Claire

Today we just went to see Pratt my brother's school.  He didn't quite show us around.  Now what. Oh yeah. We didn't get to see the Statue of Liberty :( But we saw one that was small.  A 6-year old would be able to touch her head! (Of course we didn't get to go inside her head.)  Oh well. Must I say goodbye? Goodbye!



I think I used to keep a diary and I called the diary "Collie" as if I was writing to somebody

School!

School!

Dedicated to Andy my dog

because I like her so much!!

Oneday I was walking down a sidewalk with my mom.  Then I saw a school.  "Can I go to that school?"  I asked my mom, It was hometime but my mom didn't know.  Me either.  So my mom said, "O.K."

Off we went.  We played basketball.  I thew the ball into the basket.  We both waited for the ball to come down.  But it seemed like the ball would never come down.  And that was true.  I decided to take a drink.  "Let's go take a drink since it's just ten meters away." I said. 

So we walked ten meters.  We walked for ten meters but there was one inch left.  Then we became sleepy.  Actually tired.  So we decided to sleep in the classroom.  I was sleeping on Elizabeth's desk and my mother was sleeping on Asa's desk.  Then I yelled out to my mother, "This is my classroom!"

"Don't be a silly goose, Claire," answered my mother, "this still Yokohama." "Stop arguing!" I yelled.  I yelled so loud that the whole building shook.  But then we both asleep.  The next morning when we woke up, and 2A came in, they all yelled at Ms. Craft, "Here's a new girl in our class!"  Then Ms. Craft walked over to me and said, "It's just Claire."

My dream that came out last night

My dream that came out last night

Dedicated to my family

because they will be surprised

Oneday I was with Laya walking along a pathway. To the right side there was a cliff.  First I fell down the cliff.  Then Laya fell down. 

Next we climbed back up.  Then we both fell down at the same time!  Laya landed in the water and  I was sitting on a rock.  I saw a cat playing a guitar. 

It was with a mouse which was friends with the cat!  Laya got out of the water and we both walked on the rocks.  Then we saw two sixth graders! They were in front of water that stood by itself without glass! 

Each of us had one sixth grader.  Laya went with her sixth grader before me.  Then I saw a mantaray which is a kind of a sea creature. I Then I pulled my hand back from the sixth grader. 

When it passed by us my sixth grader said "Lets go!" so we went.  When we got to the very end we got up and we climbed up on something that looked like a slide exept that it didn't have the thing to slide down.  Oh! I forgot to tell you that a sea turtle was following us!

We were searching for a pet.  My sixth grader said, "Don't take care," because there wasn't any pet to take care of.  Next, we went on a slide.  "Take care!" was what my sixth grader said because a sea turtle was hatching from an egg! 

(Thats how my dream ended!)

Once there was a rocket and inside there had three men called, Shank, Shoks and Shokworth. The rocket landed on the moon.  Then the three men stepted on the moon then the moon tried to crack.  The Astronots didn't float Shoks and Shokworth were both hugging each outher, closing their eyes tightly.  Shanks was in the outher side.   in between them it was something like a creature!  Shanks jumped over the crackin line.  "I think were standing on a giant egg." said Shanks. "So we better fly back!" so they jumped in thier rocket and flyed back to the earth


Shortest moonwalk ever.
Also, where did these character names come from?

The servent who couldn't help it

The servent who couldn't help it 

Once ther lived a princess. Oneday when she woke up she decided she'd have egg.  So she ran down to the dinning hall. She told one servent she wanted eggs. "good morning Ann!" said the servent. "Good morning to you to! I'd get egg for my breakfast." "Sure!" said the servent. The servent went in the kitchen and got an egg. He forgot to put it in the oven.  So he brought cold egg out of the kichen.  Then put it in front of the princess.  Then the princess tried the egg politely.  "Peh!!!!" said the princess. The servent looked very sorry.  "Put it in the oven!!!!" yelled the princess at the sorry servent.  The servent took the plate and dissapered into the kitchen.  Then the servent put the egg in the oven.  He pressed the button that makes thirty-seconds.  Then when the oven went like "Beep beep!!!" the servent opened the oven, took the plate and got out of the kitchen.  Then he put it infront of the princess.  The princess took a bite and spit it out and yelled out, "Hooot!" Well now the servent couldn't do anything.  So he gave the princess a cake.

Ami & the Kissing Part

Oneday Ami woke up. She changed and ate her breakfast. "Mom," she said to her mother, "I'm going to the park." "Sure," said her mother. Ami was already 13 years old!  She skipped to the park. "Hello," said Michael her boyfriend. "Hi," said Ami nervously. "CHEER UUUUP!!!" Michael screamed.  Ami climbed up the jungle gym.  Michael followed.  Ami slid down.  She went to the swing and swinged fast so Michael would not catch her.  Michael ran to where Ami was.  When the swing came towards him, he catched Ami.  "What?" Ami asked. "Well," Michael started "when we grow we can we marry?" Ami made a face as she didn't know what he was talking about.  "Okay." said Ami not so sure.  Michael moved up to Ami & kissed her.  "AHHH!" Ami cried as she ran back home when Michael was giggling.
