Hi I am a eleven year old kid living in Starksboro, VT about to visit my mom's new work in Burlington. It is a school with a couple different floors. My mom's classroom is on the third floor! The night before I visited I had a really tough soccer game at Cota Field. The only downside is that my feet felt terrible today! It hurts to even walk let alone climb several flights of stairs! so today I decided to take the elevator. I walked over to the elevator door and pushed a button. About a minute later the door opened revealing a claustrophobic room with what looked like the description of my mom's colleague.
When I got in he said “So what floor are you going to young man?”
I replied “Floor number three please”. Read more »

Habits

My worst habit is I read really, really late! Once I read 'til 12:00 am! I've tried to keep track of the time but one minute it's 8:00 and the next it's 11:00! Another time I set an alarm but the clock ran out of batteries! Arggg! I was sooo mad! But then again, even if it did go off it probably would wake my sister so I'd get in trouble. A third time I tried to go to bed earlier so I could read until 8:45 but I just got more reading time in because I stayed up 'til 9:00 every night. I was disappointed and so now I only sometime sread a book before I go to bed. But then I just still can't go to bed until 10:30! So for now, I'm stumped.

I was going up to my floor in a big old rickety elevator. About halfway up it stopped! I thought I was done for but then I saw a guy sleeping in the corner.
“Hey! Get up! We're stuck. And you need to get me out!” I yelled.
The guy opened one eye and said, “Get yourself out. I'm sleeping but if you really want to get out my fee is $180.00.”
Then he shut his eye and I started freaking out.
“What do you mean get yourself out? Once we get out of here I demand a lawyer. I will have you locked up. This is not a funny matter. This is life and death and if you do not wake up right now...I will um, um I will, um, um I will not share my um, um...candy bar with you!”
Once I said that the man jumped up and said, “Help! Help! Help! at the top of his lungs and I yelled, “Stop yelling. Someone's going to hear you and they will think you're dying or something.”
The man looked at me like I was stupid, then said, “That's the whole point – to have someone come and help us.” Read more »
