When I woke up and saw a dinosaur in my backyard.............

I was fast asleep in my bed when i heard this very annoying sound. My mom yelled from the kitchen to get down stairs. I quickly got dressed and ran down stairs. In my backyard was this very huge animal, it was green and it had black spots all over it. The animal was the size of the empire state building in New York. I felt my mouth hit the ground. My mom quickly turned to me and said "Eleanor Cherise Collins why is there a dinosaur in my backyard." [ I was thinking in my head that i was in major trouble, whenever your parents say  your government you are in big trouble.] All i could say was "Happy Birthday to you". My mom said "why would you think i need a dinosaur." "You can save money on gas" i said. My mom's face turned red it almost look like she was on fire. When i tried to looked into her eyes i thought i was on fire. She told me that i had to get rid of the dinosaur . It took me three weeks to get rid of it, i finally found a traveling circus that was looking for an exotic animal. I sold the dinosaur and was able to buy a car.

Do you remember??????????????

Do you remember when the sea used to be blue. And ice cream at the pier was only a dollar.
Do you remember when you were able to see the stars at night.
Do you remember when you were able inhale the air without coughing.
Do you remember when politician used to do something.
Do you remember when you could spend your parents money in more than one place. Instead of asking for more money and knowing the answer would be no.
Do you remember when five dollars could last you the whole month instead of only lasting one minute.
Do remember what happen yesterday.

The I am Poem

I am optimistic and curious.
I wonder what to eat at night.
I hear the sounds of the sea.
I see bright colors.
I want a laptop.
I am optimistic and curious.
I pretend to be different people.
I feel hungry.
I touch everything.
I worry about everything.
I cry at sad movies. 
I am optimistic and curious.
I understand history.
I say "you are what you eat".
I dream about a new world.
I try new foods.
I hope to go to college.
I am optimistic and curious.
