Yum! Food!

I have the best cook ever living in my house. My mom! Well, that’s my point of view.

Is one of your parents a really good cook?

Here are some of the dishes that make my mouth drool. Think about putting this in bullet points.

  • Have you ever had a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth, home made pizza crust before? My mom makes the perfect crust.
  • If there is any thing better than lasagna, then I need to know because my mom makes it scrumptious.
  • My Favorite Food

    My Favorite Food

    Have you ever eaten something that you thought you could eat forever? Well, I have. It’s call sushi for me.

  • What’s yummier better home cure than home made stew.
  • Homemade carrot ginger bread muffin are like dessert!

“Hey!” says my dad, then he adds “Not only your mother can cook.”

I roll my eyes, but he is right: he is a very good cook.

Can your dad make chili to die for, and he is the one who makes the sushi in my house.

“Yes dad, you do make good Kraft Dinner.

So does my mom. (Shh! don’t tell my dad!)

Happy eating.

Strange parents

Strange at a young age

Strange at a young age

Are your parents strange? Well, mine are but they are also super cool. Here are some things that make me roll my eyes but at the same time make me laugh.

  1. A little awhile ago my mom went shopping for cat food and she saw that bird feed was way cheaper than cat food so she made a joke. “I bought the bird feed and sprinkled it on the yard and let the cats out.” (Your cats like to hunt).
  2. The other day my mom came to pick me up from school and as we walked to the car she started to sing the Barney theme song (I Love You). I was super humiliated!
  3. Not long ago my dad’s old friends came over and at the dinner table the adults had a debate about short memory (my dad and his friend) and long memory (my mom) it was so strange.

Zoom! Zoom!

Young and healthy

Young and healthy

Hi, my name is Zoom Zoom and I am a Cheetah. You can call me Zoom if you want, but it doesn’t have the ring to it. I have a sister named Zoom Zoom Zoom. I go exploring a lot so we get lost a lot. Right now the only thing I know about where I am is I’m on a rock.

Thank you.
I can hardly wait to see the story you have for me.

Hi, this is no longer Zoom Zoom who is talking. It is Darion, and this is a zoom post. On a zoom post you are supposed to carry on the story the writer has started because they never finished, so that is your job.

Here are the ideas, you are supposed to read the comments that everyone else has writen and then leave the next part of the story.

Scarlett: Chapter 1: Missing Mom

Hi, this is the first chapter of my story Scarlett. Have you read the prologue? If not, then here is the link: Scarlett

Chapter 1

My eyes shot open. I looked around for Violet, my best friend. But all I saw was my mom whinnying into the woods. I strained my ears to hear who she was calling to and then I realized I would never see Violet again. I was in a fenced-off field. My mom was calling for help. I finished scanning the field for any other horses. I saw lots of other horses but none from my father’s herd.

I cantered from were where I stood over to a young horse who looked like she was around my age. As I came closer, she looked at me, her gaze burning into my fur coat. I got a little squirmy as she padded over to me. I closed my eyes in fright, then it went quiet. I thought she had padded away.

I nearly jumped out of my fur as a voice whinnied, “Hi there. You’re new aren’t you? If you have any questions come to me and I will show you who can answer your questions.”

As I peeled open my eyes, I froze in fear for her face was utterly destroyed. “Wh-wh-what h-happened to your f-f-f-face!” I sputtered on the words.

She turned her head away. Then after a few minutes she muttered. “You are afraid, aren’t you?”

“I am sorry to offend you. I was just wou-” But before I had time to finished she galloped off. “I did not get a chance to ask your name!” I shouted out. Even if she heard it, she did not turn back to answer.

The sun was now high. It scorched into my fur as I rammed myself against the fence over and over again trying to get free. That’s when I heard a whinny of laughter from behind me. I turned around to see that same filly who I had been talking  to earlier that day.

“What are laughing at?” I made a sharp remark that I instantly wanted to take back, but it was too late.

“Cool your jets?” She whinnied in a friendly tone. “I was just wondering what your name was. Mine’s Leaf Of The Tall Oak. You can call me Leaf”

“Oh sorry for my tone. I am just getting more and more nervous. My name is Scarlett. Have you seen my mom?”

“No. I think she’s escaped.”

“Oh great! She left me! After everything.”

“Let’s go talk to some other horses and find out what they know,” Leaf offered willingly.

We turned and together we cantered off to where most of the other horses where gathered, sharing gossip.

Come back next month for the next chapter. It will be super cool.
