Another Episode Of Adam-12

Pete Malloy and Jim Reed were on break. They were taking their gals to a ghost town. Reed's wife was going to have a baby. Malloy's girlfriend was a nurse, but didn't work with babies. When they got there, they parked Reed's car and went to the old saloon. Then, they heard a sound like thunder. It was all of these guys on motorcycles. They were called the "Satan's Sinners".

The gang saw Reed's car and dug through it. They found handcuffs and a picnic basket. Malloy and Reed were watching, as the Satan's Sinners threw beer at Reed's car. Then, the gang looked through all of the buildings for them. They called them "fuzz". Reed and Malloy caught the leader and two other guys. Reed's wife asked him, "Didn't you own one of these (motorcycles) before?" "Yes" he said. She said "Honey, run down to the hospital now and hurry. I'm going to have a baby!" So, he did (on one of the motorcycles) and she did not have one (a baby), but will soon.

If you go to a ghost town and there is a motorcycle gang, just be quiet and let them have all of your fried chicken.

Just Plain Stupid, #2

I have three stupid things to tell you about. One time, my dad was super gluing something and he super glued his thumb to the glue tube. I was afraid that my dad would have a super glue tube on his finger forever. He tried for hours to get it off. He looked very stupid holding his thumb in the air like that for hours.

Yesterday, we went to a store and these ladies (who worked there) were spray painting all the leftover Easter stuffed animals. It smelled very bad. I love stuffed animals and it hurt me. I think they did it to disguise them to sell them for another holiday.

Today, I saw on the news that a lady had stolen 17 ladders and 1 leaf blower. How stupid?! Here is the story - http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/local&id=6762132 . I think she wants to stack up all the ladders against a tall bank building and get on the roof and climbs through the hole in the top of the building. Then, she tricks people into thinking the leaf blower is a gun. She probably didn't do that. But, if you go to a yard sale and there are 17 ladders and a leaf blower for sale, call the police because you have found her - the stupid ladder stealer.

Hornbook

Do you know what a hornbook is? Well, I think they're cool. Here is what I found out about them. They were used in the colonial days at school. It was like those things that people take pizza out of the oven with - a flat board with a handle. It has a page with letters on it and it was not a real book. There was a piece of wood with a page on both sides and protected by a sheet of horn. It was the only school "book" back then used by the younger kids. The page had the alphabet on one side and the other side had some prayers. It didn't have pages to turn. When the children learned to read and write what was on the hornboard, they could leave school. It did not matter (madder) if they could not spell. One time a teacher wrote in a newspaper that he taught "writeing and spilling".

The board had a hole in the top of the handle to you could tie it to your waist and carry it around. I guess this was the first laptop for school.

Frog And Toad

I like the books of "Frog and Toad" by Arnold Lobel. Years ago, when I was tiny, some of these books helped me learn to read. I think Toad is funny. He likes to sleep a lot and is always laughed at because he does stupid things. Frog is always looking for adventure! One time Toad made a day's list and it blew away. He chased it. Here is what the list said:

Wake up.

Eat breakfast.

Get dressed.

Go to Frog's house.

Take walk with Frog.

Eat lunch.

Take nap.

Play games with Frog.

Eat supper.

Go to sleep.

He crossed out "wake up", "eat breakfast", "get dressed", "go to Frog's house" and "take walk with Frog". When he went to cross out the last phrase, the paper blew away and they could not catch it. He had a hard time remembering what it (the list) said. Then he remembered the last one on the list - "go to sleep".

Here is another story. One time, Toad made a big batch of cookies and took them to Frog. Frog loved the cookies and so did Toad. They ate so many cookies that they couldn't stop. Frog said they need more will power. So, they ate about ten more and gave the rest to the birds.

Frog and Toad are very funny. They get into a lot of silly adventures. They are the amphibian version of Spongebob and Patrick. If you are teaching a little kid to read, use the "Frog and Toad" books. That's what helped me learn.

80s Video Reviews, #3

I thought it was time to look at some more videos. I hope you enjoy them!

"Material Girl" - Madonna
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6_yqWqjh24
This video is crazy. Madonna says that some boys haunt her and some boys love her. But some crazy guy that she likes comes to find her and buys some flowers and a truck, that was in good shape, from a raggedy farmer just for her. It was to pick her up for a date, and it might have just been rented - I don't know. The boys in this video were cute and she had a humongous bow on her back. The video is like a dating show. She picked the crazy guy with a little fuzz on his head and he wasn't even in the dance.

"Take On Me" - a-Ha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW86DTpWWpM
This is a stupid video. A girl is reading the comics in the paper at the diner and she sees a boy she likes in the comics. A hand comes out of the paper! She takes the hand and it pulls her in! Then, she is in the comic with the cute boy. The waitress throws the paper away and then the girl comes out of the paper. She is in the trash can and everyone is looking at her! The girl runs back home with the paper. She looks at it and there is the boy in real life in her house. He was banging his head into the wall. This never happened to me, when I read "Peanuts".

"Sunglasses At Night" - Corey Hart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXw4qqQqTrY
This video is very stupid! It's about a guy who wears his sunglasses at night and then walks around singing like an idiot (ediut). Some cops come and take him to jail. The lady in there watching over him was wearing sunglasses, too. While he was singing, she heard him and let him out. I have no idea how that touched her heart to let him out. I don't think that you can get arrested for wearing sunglasses at night. It is stupid, but it is not against the law!

Barack Obama's Stimulus Package

I do not know what Barack Obama's stimulus package is, but I'm going to take a chance and guess what it is. I have been hearing a lot about it on the news and everywhere. I think it could be any of these. It is maybe:

1. A package that he is about to get in the mail.

2. A lot of money.

3. A new pet named "Stimulus Package."

4. A vacation set up by a travel agent.

5. His birthday present.

6. Taxes.

7. A free dinner.

8. Some ice cream.

9. An invitation to a party.

10. Some valuable gifts.

If I was to get the stimulus package, I would want it to be either number 2 or 3. If you received a stimulus package, tell me what is in it, please.

Earth Day Haiku

Happy Earth Day! Yesterday, I learned about haikus in school. I learned that the first line has five syllables, second has seven and the third has five. They don't rhyme. The Japanese made them, so I made one for Earth Day.

Don't be wasteful, please.

No polluting for this Spring.

Keep our nice earth green.

Happy Earth Day to you!
