Forced Journal Entries in Elementary School II

I feel special when people look up to me.  I’m special because I have talents.  I can play hockey, football, and basketball.  I can also play piano.  I did something special to a friend when they said they were no good at something I told them that they could do it.

If I got a ticket to go anywhere in the world I would go to the biggest rock in the world in Australia.  I would go there because I read about it in a book.  My family and maybe a few friends would go with me.  I would climb the rock on a tour that goes up to the top where the wind blows faster than it does on the ground.  I would probably stay a couple of days so I could go all around the area and see some scenery in the area.

I would ask who is the president?  Are we in the same city?  Do we still have all our cats and dogs?  Is everyone still alive?  How is everybody?  I would want to go to the mall, to a friend’s house, watch TV to see what’s gone on the past 5 years.  Since it’s 2002 I missed the turn of the century.  I would ask if the company 20th Century Fox is now 21st Century Fox.  I would want to know who won the last couple Stanley Cups, Super Bowls, NBA Championships, and World Series.

I would tell them to keep with their kids.  Do things with your kids and don’t be cruel to your kids.  Be active with your kids.

I would have a built-in TV-VCR, built-in stereo upstairs. Paneling and it would cover the whole tree.  No bugs could get in.  I would have electricity and a separate phone line so I could talk on the phone all day and my parents wouldn’t tell me to get off.  I could get my own address so people would come right to my tree-house instead of going to the other house.  I would live half the time in the tree-house and the other half in the regular house.  I would have a phone transfer so after 5 rings in the tree-house it would go to the regular house so I would get the call unless I wasn’t home.  Then it would go to the answering machine.  I might sell the tree-house to someone when I get older because I will be too heavy and big.
