Our teacher, Ms. Aruba-Tate,

is really nice, but she has

some wacko ideas. One

of her ideas was that we

should write in a journal

every day. Every day!

We were supposed to

write a whole page!

Who has a whole page

of things happen to them

every day? No one! For a

long time, we just wrotereally big. But then we got

a better idea: we decided

to make up questions and

answer them, which is a

lot easier and more interesting,too. We thought up some great questions!

(Which do you like better, spit or earwax?)

And then we thought up some

great answers! We also wrote

down some extra ideas for not

being bored.

We decided that other

kids might like to answer our

questions, so we put them in this

book. We included a few of our

answers, but not all of them. We

wanted to leave you guys plenty

of room for your own answers and

drawings and ideas.

Have fun!
