Should Kids Vote?

  Let me ask you a question. Why can’t kids vote? It doesn’t seem fair that adults think kids need help on every big decision they make. I don’t even think some adults even let kids handle big decisions. Why are kids little to do everything? If adults can turn in their ideas and their choices, why can’t kids? Why can’t kids do anything? I think that everyone should have a choice to do something. I want you to walk up to the mayor’s office and tell him/her the reasons why kids should vote. If the mayor's impressed he will tell the governor. Then the vice president will hear this and then the president. But you can do that right after you hear my essay and 3 reasons why kids should vote. Here is my opinion: I believe kids should be able to vote. Kids can make big decisions. Why do adults think kids don’t know anything or how to make the right choices? I am gonna prove that everyone should have a voice and we become fair when it comes to voting! 1st reason - I think kids should have a...

The Talking Cake!

One sunny afternoon, I got an invitation to my friend Lizzie’s birthday party. I wanted to make her something extra special, so I sat on my couch all day thinking. The next day I knew exactly what to do. I said to myself "I should make a Cinnamon cake and I'll spray paint it red". Her favorite! But heart shaped. I then went to the store to buy eggs, cake mix, milk, baking soda and the most magical ingredient of all, cinnamon!!! But when I got to the cinnamon section there was only one bag of cinnamon remaining, but not just any kind of cinnamon, talking cinnamon. I hoped it was only called that because I didn’t want a talking cake. Soon a girl with a cart reached for the bag of cinnamon, she got it. I told her that I needed it badly, but she didn’t care! So I snatched right out of her hands and ran to pay before she caught me, but when I got out of the store the girl started chasing me, she chased until I reached the house and before she could get in, I quickly locked the...
