I Wonder...

If you could be an animal for a day which animal would you be and why?

Being an animal for a day has it’s ups and downs. Most animals are a prey. They get killed easily. Other animals are predators, and they won’t be as likely to die.

I have a cat, and I think she probably has the best life of anyone I know.
If I could be any animal for a day, I would be a cat. Cats are so cute and fluffy, plus they don’t get treated badly, and they aren’t a prey.

Cats don’t have to worry about much. The only thing that they have to worry about is whether or not they’ve been fed, or if they have any water. And all they have to do is miaow, and then instantly someone would come and get you what you need. Cats are kind of like babies. When they want something, they make noise, just like a baby. Except when a cat wants something, it is much easier to tell what they want. For example, if a cat wanted water, it would stand by the water bowl and miaow. Simple, right?
I wouldn’t say that cats have a diet I would want to live on. Pellets that smells like fish, but don’t taste anything like fish (trust me, I have tried cat food)? No thank you. I would prefer our normal, human food. Maybe if I was thrown a bit of cooked  meat, I would be okay with being a cat.

I wonder what goes on inside a cat’s head? Does it have thoughts that our scientists could understand? I don’t think it does, because cats do not speak English or French or whatever. But can their meowing language be translated into English? I don’t know, but I would love to find out.

Daffodil Day

Today at school we had our Daffodil Day celebration. We have our Daffodil Day to raise money for Cancer Society. Everybody brought a gold coin, and that adds up to quite a bit of money. Today for our Daffodil Day celebration, everybody had to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grow up. There were lots of really cool dressups! My brother won a prize, and he was a boxer. My sister was an artist, but she didn't win a prize. 

I dressed up as an actress. It was pretty hard though, because actresses don't necessarily dress in a specific way. I just sort of dressed casually, and made a script and a VIP pass. I actually wrote a funny little story as a script. Here it is: 
Beagle: Sometimes I eat turtles.
Ayisha: That’s totally normal.
Freya: (Twitches violently)
Holly: What’s happening to Freya?
Freya: (Vomits)
Georgia: Oh my god, she’s dying!
Holly: Ooh vomit… (Touches vomit)
Georgia: Oh my god she touched it.
Freya: (starts trying to eat table)
Beagle: Something happened.
Ayisha: What happened?
Holly: She must have eaten something.
Georgia: Oh my god, what did you eat? It’s all over your face.
Holly: I ate the vomit.
Ayisha: And why did you think that would be a good idea?
Holly: Freya eats vomit too, and you don’t give her a hard time.
Beagle: I think that eating vomit is how they got this terrible sickness.
Holly: (Starts Twitching)
Ayisha: Oh well let’s just leave them to it.
(They all walk away, apart from Holly and Freya.)

Georgia: Oh my god, you know what?
Ayisha: What now?
Georgia: Oh my god, I want to be a magician.
Beagle: That’s nice.
(Holly and Freya walk in.)
Freya: Hi.
Holly: Sup.
Georgia: Oh my god, I thought you were dead.
Freya: Meh.
Ayisha: So… Um. How do you feel?
Holly: You know, the usual.
Beagle: So. You are totally fine?
Freya: Yeah. We got you a drink. One each.
(They all drink)
Beagle: Egh. Tastes strangely like -
Holly: Vomit right?
Beagle: Yeah…
Georgia: Oh my god they’ve been possessed!
Ayisha: And they are trying to get us possessed!

Beagle: Uh oh.
(They all start twitching violently.)
(Goes black)
(Holly wakes up as a doughnut. Beagle wakes up as a bagel. Freya wakes up as a slab of meat. Ayisha wakes up as a piece of cake. Georgia wakes up as a magician.)
Beagle: Hey guys! We’re all food!
Ayisha: I’m cake!
Georgia: Hello. I’m sure you’ve figured out I was the one originally possessed.
Freya: Ah, nope, but thanks for saying so!
Georgia: Well, when you got possessed, it didn’t last long. So I turned you into food. Now, I am going to publicly kill you all, including this strange body I am currently in.
Ayisha: So you’ll commit suicide?
Georgia: Yup. Anyway, let’s begin the show! Prepare to be amazed! I am the great magician, Georgina! Watch as I cut apart this slab of meat! (She grabs Freya)
Freya: Aahh!
Georgia: (Cuts Freya in half) Ta da!
Crowd: Woo!
Georgia: And now, watch as I join this doughnut, and this bagel together! (Grabs Beagle and Holly. Joins them together)
Beagle and Holly: Aah!
Georgia: Ta da!
Crowd: Woo!
Georgia: Alright that’s the show for today. Come again!
Ayisha: Yay! She hasn’t killed me yet!
Georgia: (grabs Ayisha) Now for lunch! You didn’t think I’d let you go did you? Silly cake. (eats Ayisha)
Ayisha: Aah!
Georgia: Now, to get rid of this ugly body! (Shoots herself.)

The
End

I also made a VIP Pass that looks like this:
