Creative Writing

Back story  (cliff-notes version)


About a month ago, Tyler and Emily brought their dog Ailee over to play with our dog.  Before they let her into our backyard the boys gathered up the chickens and put them back in the coop.  Unfortunately a chicken was left out and we didn't realize it.  Ailee found her and by the time we noticed, Ailee was beginning to eat her.  We didn't know what to do, so we said a few kind words about Butterscotch, put her in a trash bag and threw her into the trash.  End of story.

Current Story

Chase's teacher sent home a Thanksgiving recipe book.  The book is full of recipes told by her students.  They are all very humorous.  Here is Chase's recipe  for chicken.

"Chicken is better than turkey because you can get gravy on it.  You buy a chicken that is not alive because you get them at stores and I have not seen any chickens that are alive at stores.  We have chickens, and one died, but we are not going to eat it because it still has a little bit of guts in it.  A dog ripped the rest of the guts out, but it still has a little bit of guts in it so we threw it in the trash instead of eating it.   The people at the store kill the chickens and gut them out with gloves.  They take feathers out with their hands.  Then they put the heads in the trash.  The rest is just the white chicken. The rest is all ovaled.  You cook it for 15 minutes until it is not burned.  It looks the same, but it is hot.  Set the table with forks and plates.  Eat the whole thing, but not the bones.  They are not in the chicken."

Loved it.
