Dear Mom, I’ve been thinking that our lives stink right now; we are getting bulled by people bigger than us and always getting stuck in traffic. Well, want to know something that will make our lives better? A dragon will. Here are a few examples of why getting a dragon would be awesome. One example is that no one would mess with us because they would be afraid of the dragon. Imagine if someone was teasing me. I would call the dragon with a special dragon whistle. The dragon would swoop down to the playground and shoot one tiny little flare at the bully. He would run away in fear because he wouldn’t want to get burned like flaming hot dog. I would feel ten times safer with a dragon. Another example of it being epic to have a dragon is that we wouldn’t have to sit in 50 miles of traffic, because we would be flying OVER on our speedy dragon with style. Takeoff and landing aren’t really any different that riding in a helicopter. The dragon wouldn’t go higher than your average tree. The dragon could have a saddle that has a cover that you could pull up that acts like an umbrella when it rains. The only problem is that I wouldn’t know where to put any of our stuff if we had any. The dragon is superior to cars because there is not so much traffic in the air. Dad and I have been doing a lot of camping lately. Sometimes lighting a fire yourself can be dangerous. The dragon will light the fire for us with its hot breath. Now we do not have to spend money on a lighter or matches to light a fire. The dragon would help because it doesn’t take up any space in our packs. Having a dragon when going camping would be like having an extra friend with unlimited matches. This is just a fourth of the reasons why we need a dragon. Sincerely, your beloved son, Ricky

Why I think I should have an underground cave in my room.
I think there should be an underground cave in my room for many reasons.
For all of these reasons I believe that you should get me this underground cave. To make it even easier to say yes, I’ll do the dishes for the week leading up to the time that I ask you. You will benefit even more than me. You would also get to come down into the cave with me and whenever you want! Just about every single person that I had talked to that had asked for this has gotten it, loved it, and even their parents said they were happy they gotten it for their kid. The parents weren’t hearing nearly as much pestering from older siblings. The parents would even relax and do everything in the cave while the kid who they bought it for was out at school. If you say no, don’t think about what I lose but think about the opportunities you miss out on too. You would miss out on the chance of a:
I have already figured out the price. There is this place that sells them cheaper than the rest. There cost is $100,000.00 bucks and judging by the customer reviews, they say to drop the idea since it’s impossible to get out of the cave. The manufacturers changed it so it said it is impossible to get out of the cave because of how nice it is. This is why I think I should have an underground cave in my room. Song You gotta crave the cave You gotta crave the cave You have to be very very brave, to savor the cave. The cave is the best it aint at all like the rest. The comfort is great But it can disintegrate You put your head on the headrest You put yor foot on the footrest You do whatever you need to do in the cave that you gotta crave. You can put any thing you like, in the cave From smooth water to a rippling shockwave. You have to be brave, to put up with the cave And brave you will be, if you crave the cave. You gotta crave the cave You gotta crave the cave You have to be very very brave to put up with the cave. Persuasion: The Art of Getting What You Want. Think of something rather outrageous that you might want from your parent(s) –something that you don’t actually need. Have you always wanted to paint your room purple with orange polka dots? Would life be better if you had a personal assistant? Is the backyard the perfect place to keep your own pet elephant? Do you feel your life would benefit from owning your own jet pack? Job 1. Persuasive Letter Write a letter to your parent(s) persuading them to do what you want. Use some of the 10 Tips for Becoming a Master Persuader. Organize the reasons why you feel they should do what you want into separate paragraphs, and finish with a strong conclusion. Really try to “sell” them on the fantastic idea you have! Job 2. Poster Create a poster that shows how great this “thing” that you want actually is. You can make one big illustration or draw multiple pictures. You can include captions that explain the benefits of the “thing”. You can write a slogan. You can draw yourself enjoying the “thing”. You can create an advertisement for the “thing”. Show us why what you want is so awesome! Job 3. Song, Poem, or Video Compose song lyrics, write a poem, or create a video that describes what life is like now that you have the “thing” that you wanted. Dear Mom and Dad, I would like to have a gym in my backyard. I mean a tumble track, beam, bar, bouncy floor, vaulting table, spring board, more mats, and a foam pit. When you think about that, it’s pretty reasonable. I think if all that equipment was SO expensive, why would there be a lot of gyms in the world? If the prices were outrageous, there wouldn’t be so many. We really need this if you want me to get better at gymnastics. Because if I get good enough, it could pay for college, and you could save a lot of money! Plus, don’t you want me to be happy? I would like that because I love gymnastics, and it makes me happy! Why we should get a gym? Because didn’t you always want something to cover that empty big space, now that we took down the pool? What better to do with it, then get a gym! How about instead of getting my room done over like you said I could, how about what I want/need even more? Now… I already know where you can get all of this, it’s on amazon! Super easy, and we don’t have to go out and buy the stuff, we can just have it come to the front door, from the nice UPS man. The whole total would only be around 10,000 dollars! (Or more) Now think about that, it’s not like it’s 1,000,000 dollars. Just imagine, me doing the craziest moves ever! I could be the top athlete in the world! Wouldn’t you want that? I know it might seem like a lot, but it’s really not, and, it’s worth it to get REALLY good at gymnastics. Just picture me so happy. I wouldn’t ever say I’m bored again! Once I get too old for gymnastics, which will only be 11 years, you will never be able to buy me a gym ever! This is your chance, you only have 11 years, unless I get seriously injured, and can’t do gymnastics anymore. Then, you better get it soon. You should get it soon, so I can take advantage of having it now, because the higher level I get, the higher chance of me getting hurt. Be quick, and get it fast! I will be very nice to you if you can get me these simple, easy to get things. You can return my favor. Haven’t you wanted me to be nice all the time? Well if you get want I want/need, I’ll get you what you want/need. It will be easy. You’re probably still thinking, “I’m not getting Olivia this!” Well to make it easier, how about you at least get me a tumble track, and a bar. (Even though my first request was pretty reasonable). That would only be, like 3,000 dollars! (Or less). Do you really want coach Joyce to make me do 25 push-ups if my legs were bent in my back-handspring? Or for me to score lower in competitions because I didn’t have enough practice? I could make my coach very happy, and the judges too. All because you got me what I want/needed. Sincerely, Olivia
Dear Mom and Dad, Christmas is coming soon and I was thinking about what we like. We like being generous and we love awesome stuff. So that made me think that we should get a limousine for Christmas! I know that it might feel odd for us to be driving around a limousine, but at least we will look famous! We could be generous by picking up my hockey teammates so their moms and dads will not have to take them to hockey. After that we could take them back to their house. That would make you feel really good on the inside, right? Mom, Dad I even know where to go to get one of our own limousines. All you have to do is go to down the street from the airport in Punta Cana, DR and then go straight through the first two intersections then take your left then right, left, then right again. After that you will see a street called Mangle Street. Go down it and you will see a shop called “Limousines us.” There you can buy the limousine you want. The highest price is only $100,000! The lowest price is $1 (well of course a toy limousine!) All of the limousines are waiting for you to buy one. I already know where to go, see. Just think what it would be like to have a pure white limousine! Swimming in the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, dancing on the roof, wouldn’t that be nice? This limousine is the size of a house and has everything that a house has and more! You guys should sell our house; maybe get some money off of it if you’re lucky! I mean come on, who wouldn’t want a limousine; it will be the best thing that has ever happened to us! For the most part we could have parties, watch movies, and watch sports. We would be able to do all this because we would have 3 flat screen TVs. All of this leads up to the fact that we should get a limousine! I have a great idea! Mom, Dad, how about I take you guys out on vacation. We can even go to the Dominican Republic resort. I already got Steve (our neighbor) to take us to the Dominican Republic Resort, it was O.K. with him. There is only one problem with that though. Steve is only going to take us one way, not back. With that big factor on hand, I was wondering if you could get us a limousine. The only reason I think you guys should get us a limousine is for the ride back from the airport. When we get back home from Punta Cana, DR we can have fun with the limo. For the most part we can go anywhere at any time with a limo. Guess what Mom and Dad, I finally cleaned my room! It looked like a tornado hit it before, but now you can barely see a speck of dust! I noticed that I have so much junk in my room and I was thinking that a limousine would be a great place to store all of it. I could have my room in it and I would try my best to keep it clean. It will for certain be way more neat because there will be 10 times the space I have now in my room. Then when I go to college we / I won’t have to pay for a dorm, I could just live in the limousine! So, with all the money we can make, and all the money we can save the limousine will pay for itself in no time! Sincerely, Chase I’m at that age where A LOT of kids want something totally outrageous. Mine isn’t that outrageous. I think it’s time for you to hire me a hot butler. I know what’s on your mind right now, “no way am I getting her a hot butler.” Well before you say no, listen to my reasons why I want a hot butler. If I had a hot butler I wouldn’t get on your nerves. For example: when you ask me to clean my room, I always say “no.” But, if I had a hot butler you could ask all you want, and he could do it for me, and all the other stuff in the house that I never do. So when you ask me to do anything that involves cleaning I can just tell my butler to do it. If I had a hot butler I could go to school with him. And he could do ALL the work for me. Again I know what you’re thinking “but she wouldn’t learn if her butler did it for her.” I still would learn for your information, I just wouldn’t do the work. I would listen and pay attention, but my butler would do all the work for me. And when get home from a long boring day at school he would do my homework. Then, I could relax and not have to do a single thing my butler would do it all for me. My last reason why I should have a hot butler, when I am very very comfortable and I don’t want to get up and I’m really hungry or thirsty I wouldn’t have to get up and he could get any snack I want or any drink I want so I don’t have to get up. The main reason for this letter is because I am almost a teenager and life gets harder and harder as you get older. And since I’m ten I may not need one now. But I insist you get me one now. I NEED A HOT BUTLER NOW! HOT BUTLER SONG I got my hot butler and he’s not a juggler Did I mention he is super duper hot? And when he cooks that food it hits the spot When I want something to eat He’ll get it in a heartbeat He rubs my feet While I’m sitting in a comfy seat He’ll do whatever I say He’s the best butler Cause he likes to obey Can I keep him forever? I guess so He does all my chores from head to toe He’s the best butler in the whole state And he’s never ever once been late |
