Exercise: Story Starter: Who and Who? Did what? When?
Funky Chunky Monkey played volleyball with me in my backyard at noon. He came to visit and it turned into a play date. After volleyball we went to the park. We went on the slide and the swings. Then I put him in my pocket to go home and bake cookies.

When I was a calf I got separated from my pod. There’s more, do you want to hear? Sure you do. Okay, back to the pod thing. I got stuck in a net and got washed up on shore. I was taken to the Clearwater Marine Center. My tail was too infected so they had to cut it off. So sad, so sad, but now I have a replacement tail.

Writing Prompt: I wonder how many people are crying right now?
One day my boss said I wonder how many people are crying right now? Will you go find out for me? How? I responded.Well, you will need a backpack with shorts, jeans, tank tops, long sleeves, binoculars, running shoes, fancy shoes, summer shoes, two notebooks, five erasers, ten pencils, twelve pens, swimming suits, phones, cameras, food, drinks, cups, plates, silverware, napkins, gifts, and much more. The special thing is a time stopper. You will go to every country in the world. Once you have counted everyone in the country you will sprinkle one drop of the liquid onto the country, which will stop everything. But it will go away after four hours. You put tallies on the paper, he said, for each person crying. I set off and had a long and exciting journey. I came back and he said I had done a great job and he gave me two thousand dollars and I left.

I had a crazy dream. Wait, I have to start from the beginning. Ok, this was the dream. I was going to my friend Bow’s house. I was worried because she was mad at me because I couldn’t have a play date with her. I went to her house and said sorry. She popped out one of my strings. It really hurt. That was the most scary nightmare ever.
