A normal, boring day can easily transform into an exciting adventure when a surprise is included. One sunny hot, boring day I was at school asking my friends, Baylee, Crystal , Ashlyn, and Sierra, asking them what they were going to do since it was Friday. I know I was going to be at home bored to death since my T.V. was broken. We all had lunch together in the lunchroom. It was nasty Italian bread with some gross-looking sauce or a chicken patty. Yuck! Trust me, I choose the chicken patty! Then Miss Parish came to pick us up. Before I knew it, it was time to go home. I waited at the car ramp for mom to pick me up. She told me we were going to Grandma’s house. That was not out of the ordinary. Sounded like another boring Friday to me.
All of a sudden, I see my g-ma waiting for us; I guess she knew we were coming. When I zoomed to her, she yelled out, “Come see what I have for you.” I rushed inside as fast as I could. She said that I needed go look in my bedroom. When I zigzagged in there, I saw a little Dotson A.K.A. a winner dog. I zoomed down the hall gave my granny a big hug and ran back to my new dog, who I choose to name “Buttercup”. I thought her new name was just too cute. I picked her up carefully because I did not want to hurt her. She was so cute and cuddly, I would say. I think she was a miniature but I was not sure. My g-ma had one more thing up her sleeve; she had bought two bowls for water and food. She even bought a dog bed. Buttercup also came with a sweater that had “F.S.U.” on it. That is my favorite team! The cute sweater, I think could even fit my baby dolls! I thought my new friend was only about one year old, and would not get any bigger. I thanked my grandmother a thousand times! I held my dog so tight, you could tell she was nervous. We visited a little while with my granny. When my puppy and I arrived at home, I took all her new accessories, including her, into my room. I thought I would let her scope out the house a little while. Then I took her out to use the potty. Buttercup and I decided to ride my four-wheeler! There is a basket on the front so she can sit there. Buttercup and I enjoyed an afternoon of riding and getting to know each other.
In the end, I had an awesome day! It was the best surprise I have ever had! Whenever it is a normal, boring day again, I will remember that something surprising could happen. No one ever knows. After all, I got my Buttercup surprise when I least expected it!

911! by Baylee from Miss Parish's Class
“911! 911! I need you my mean brother did something I will never forget.” One foggy morning I was still sleeping on my wooden bunk bed. I get the most complements on that bed. Finally I woke up and I scrambled to get on my clothes and go to my friend’s house. My mom and dad were still asleep in the bed but my big brother was awake. I knew he was because he had the T.V. blaring as loud as it could go. Now it was time for me to go brush my teeth and do my hair. I had to go to the bathroom to fix myself up.
All of the sudden, when I looked in the mirror, I saw a reflection of someone with four arms. I zoomed to go show my mom and dad. I explained to them that I grew two extra arms over night. At first I thought it was not real. I whispered this terrible information to my mom because I did not want my brother to know. If he found out he would make fun of me for the rest of my life. That is not a good thing to happen. My mom said I needed to go to the emergency room to see what they would say. I might have to get surgery done or it would go away. My mom quickly threw on her clothes to go. She put up my hair for me in a matter of seconds. Of course my brother saw me and made fun of me. Something told me that my mean sibling was behind all of this! But I kept that to myself. We were already in the car before I knew it. Since I did not want anybody to see me, I wore my mom’s gigantic jacket. Now no one could see my strange four arms. What was a relief! As we waited in the waiting room, I kept on wanting them to call my name. All of the sudden I hear “Baylee Victoria Childs” Finally, I was next. I took off the jacket and showed the nurse. She said she did not know what it was. “That’s my luck,” I thought to myself. The lady asked if I have had any pain, I told her I didn’t. Just then the nice nurse took a closer look and exclaimed that my two extra arms were not even real. Then she pulled it right off. There was tape holding it together. I knew Trent was behind this all along. He must have put them on while I was sleeping.
In the end, the nurse pulled both fake arms off and then we rushed home. Let me just tell you, Trent got in some really bad trouble, and I don’t think he will do that crazy thing again. Now it is my turn! Pay back time! And yeah I never got to go to Sierra’s house that day. I did not tell her what happened when I called to say I could not come. That will continue to be my secret.

"Basketball Advantage" by Darius from Miss Parish's Class
You can bet that the next time I grow two extra arms, I’ll think twice before over working them. One dull morning, I awoke, hopped up out of my bed, and realized that something was wrong with my body. When I drug myself into the kitchen, I spotted my mom watching TV in the living room. As soon as I told my mom that my body felt weird, two extra arms popped out of my sides and stretched the same length as my other arms. I looked at my arms and then back at my mom and saw that my mom had passed out. I stood there for a while and kept on looking at my arms and then back at my mom. I felt like a four arm Cyclopes! Then I realized that if I have four arms and everybody else has two that must mean I am the luckiest kid in the world! As soon as I realized that was very special, I told my unconscious mom that I was going to have a little fun.
Instantly, I dashed out the door like a cheetah, grabbed my bike, and pedaled to the basketball court. When I arrived at the b-ball court, I dashed over and asked who’s team I could be on.
“Well it is two on three and my team only has two. I guess you can be on my team,” Tray announced.
“Great!” I replied.
I was like Michel Jordan out there; shooting three’s on everybody, and getting wide open shots. It was like I was the only one on the court. Every team we played would always lose to us by thirty or more points. When I got done playing, I snatched up my two-wheeler and headed home.
All of a sudden, while I was riding my bicycle back to my house my extra arms turned into ashes. I looked at my body and realized that that my extra arms had fallen off. As soon as I saw my normal two arms, I rushed to the house, dashed into my room, and started crying. When my mom and dad came into my room, I told to them what had transpired. They explained to me that if you get something special you should use it wisely. I dried my tears up and played outside a while.
In the end, my boring day had transformed into an exciting evening. For the rest of my life, I will always remember that if you get something special, use it wisely so it won’t go away.

"Wild Surprise" by Sierra from Miss Parish's Class
Ring! Ring! Ring! “Hello?”
“Hey, it’s Sierra! Can my mom, speak with you?”
“It’s Sierra’s birthday today, and I was wondering if Baylee could come over,” blurted my mama.
“Sure, why not,” replied Mrs. Keesha.
Once I finally figured out that Baylee could come, I rushed off to get ready. It takes thirty minutes to get from my house to her house. We were going to be at her house to pick her up at 12:00, so I had thirty minutes left to get ready. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and was headed out the door. Knock! Knock! As soon as Baylee swung the door open, I quickly explained that we could watch the Bee Movie and then head to the mall! Dothan, Alabama here we come! After we’d been driving a while, I realized that this was definitely not the way to Dothan. Mom announced that we were going to Wild Adventures! No way! I was more excited than a child on Christmas morning. Mom instructed that we fasten our seat belts and prepare for a long trip. Baylee and I fell asleep with in the first five minutes. We woke up at about 3:00 p.m. We had one hour left until we would be there so we played my Nintendo D.S. (or video game) for the rest of the drive.
Suddenly, I spotted a Ferris wheel out of the corner of my eye. We’re here! We found a place to park in the front and checked in. As quick as lightening, we were headed off to ride a roller coaster and eat some Dippin’ Dots. It was hard to decide what to ride. There were so many choices. Baylee and I decided on the Swamp Thing. Boy was that a wild ride! When that was over, we raced over to ride some more rides. Exhausted after all the excitement, we decided to drag ourselves over to the creak to see the fire woks show. It was amazing! I had never seen anything like it before. My mom decided she wanted to go to all the shops. Since it was so close to Christmas, we even met Santa and Mrs. Clause. We got to sit on their laps and take a picture. The perfect ending to a marvelous day!
In the end, we got home at 10:00pm. Baylee and I stayed up all night talking about how much fun we had and even sang a little karaoke. The night ended with a little bit of popcorn that my mama had cooked as one of my birthday presents. I will never forget my amazingly, wild surprise!
