"No, I do, it is even on the cover of the video game," said Stinky Sock." "I bet you made that game up," said Banana Peel. "Well, okay, I made it up but I am still smellier," said Stinky Sock. "Well, I am smellier-er," said Banana Peel. ""Hey, that is not even a word," said Stinky Sock. "Is too!" said Banana Peel. "Is not!" said Stinky Sock. "Is too!" said Banana Peel. "Is not!" said Stinky Sock. "Is too!" said Banana Peel. "Is NOT!" screamed Stinky Sock. "How about we go see Judge P?" said Banana Peel. "Well, I guess I can agree with that," said Stinky Sock. "Hello gentlemen," said Judge P. "So what is your problem?" Stinky Sock and Banana Peel said at the same time, "Stinky Sock/Banana Peel told me that he is the smelliest!" Judge P whistles. "How about you guys do rock, paper, scissors, shoot to decide who goes first?" "Ok!" Banana Peel and Stinky Sock said. "Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Yay! I win," said Banana Peel. "Ok, Banana Peel, you go first," said Judge P. "So, Stinky Sock told me that he was stinkier than me but I am stinkier and it made me so made and sad, waaaaahhhhhhhh!" said Banana Peel. "Now Stinky Sock, it is your turn," said Judge P. "Well, Banana Peel told me that he is stinkier but I am stinkier and that made me devastated, wahhhhhhhhhhh!" said Stinky Sock. "Ok, ok, calm down, give me a couple of minutes to decide," said Judge P. Five minutes later, he said, "Ok, it was a hard decision but with my complicated math, I figured it out. So, Banana Peel, you are stinky and Stinky Sock, you are also stinky. You guys are equally stinky," said Judge P. "Let's have a stinky party and invite all of our stinky friends," said Banana Peel.

Cars GO!
by Orion, age 6, Pennsylvania
Once upon a time there was a race car that went super fast. An octopus was driving this car. The octopus had a beard. The octopus drove the car away to a gigantic pickle. The octopus got out of the car and hugged the giant pickle from space. Then another giant pickle came from space. The octopus hugged the other pickle too. Then both of the pickles went back to space but they took the octopus with them. The octopus rode the pickle into space. They landed on the moon. The race car also landed on the moon. Lots of other race cars landed on the moon. Then some octopuses came out of those race cars. All the octopuses said “GO CARS” and then the cars brought them to planet venus. An asteroid struck planet venus. One of the race cars broke the asteroid, blasting the pieces of the asteroid back into space. Then they landed back on planet earth. One of the octopuses got out of it’s car and went into it’s house. It came out of the house with a shovel in it’s tentacles. It dug a hole in the earth with it’s tentacles. The octopuses jumped into the hole. They yelled “Go CARS!” in the hole. Then they jumped out of the hole and drove their cars back to planet venus. THE END.
