When Nachos Become Smart
by Olivia, age 12, Canada
WARNING: Whatever you do, NEVER, EVER, EVER mistake nuclear goop for guacamole.
Lillie: Mom, what are we having for dinner?
Mom: Nachos, honey!
Lillie: Yes! My favorite!
(Dad comes in with a vat of some green stuff)
Lillie: Hey, Dad!
Dad: Hey, Lillie!
Mom: Oliver, what is that in your arms?
Dad: I don't know, I found it behind a grocery store so it's either rotten lettuce or guacamole.
Mom: Oliver, what have I told you about picking up mysterious barrels with questionable contents?
Dad: To... not do it?
Mom: Yes. But we need guacamole so hand it over.
(Mom puts the green stuff into a bowl, and it makes this gross squelch)
Lillie: How... old is this guacamole?
Dad: I don't know!
(BING)
Mom: The nachos are done!
(They come out sizzling)
Lillie: I can't wait! GIVE ME THE NACHOS.

Roll Call Stories
The Case of the Missing Quadrilateral Statue
by Oliver, age 7, Ohio
One day in a museum people were excited to see a new exhibit- the Quadrilateral creature. In case you're wondering what it looks like, it's like a human but no body, no hands, and no arms. But when the thing was opened the giant statue was missing! The museum guard who was doing the tour for the new exhibit said they had to wait until the statue was returned. Someone from the crowd said they were a detective and they could find the statue. They said the first clue was to find footprints that would lead right to it. The guard said he would leave her to it. There were footprints but they were no ordinary footprints- they were in the shape of feet not shoes! The footprints were paint and they checked to see if the paint was wet or dry. It was dry so they said the robbery was last night. The trail led them to a broken window and then when they went through the broken glass they were led to a... pigeon?!?
The person investigating left. The pigeon began to chuckle and then laugh. Because it wasn't a pigeon. It was a costume. It was a... capybara?!? A few weeks later the detective went back and the capybara was waiting. This time it was caught on camera. The capybara was arrested and that's when it was revealed that it was REALLY a quadrilateral creature! And then it said, "I just wanted the statue because it looked so good. Also, we still exist. There's a whole tribe of us who live in your village. But I'm so quiet you didn't even notice that." And then the case was closed and the humans and quadrilaterals lived in peace forever. Oh and by the way- case closed! Yay!
The Lost Calendar
by Maggie, age 9, Ontario
Shape Island
by Austin, age 11, Texas
Once, there was a Pre-K class, and one day they were learning shapes. "Ok, class, grab your journal and pencil and copy the shapes on the board..." After the class looked at a few shapes, a boy named Cory said to his teacher, "Can I go get a shapes book?" When she said yes, Cory went to the bookshelf and picked up a shape book. When he flipped to the first page and touched a shape, he was sucked into the book onto an island."Whoaaa!" "What is this place?" Cory said when he landed. Then a triangle popped out of nowhere and said "Hi! I'm Polygon, but you can call me Poly. Welcome to Shape Island!" "Where?" "Hm? Wait, you know about this place?" Poly said. "Oh well. Would you like a tour?" Poly asked. "Sure, I guess." Cory replied, as Poly led Cory around the island. "This is the grocery store, this is the bakery, and this is the toy store with its best-selling building blocks." About an hour later when Cory and Poly were at the bookstore, when Cory grabbed another book, he started getting sucked into the book like earlier, only slower. "Oh well. See ya, Poly!" "Bye, Cory! Come back soon!" About a second later, Cory was back in his classroom. "Oh, Cory, that book you're holding? It also acts as a portal to a place called..." "Shape Island." They both said. "Yeah. I know." Cory said. "Oh. Ok. Can you take your seat now?" "Alright." Cory said as he took his seat.
