Dating Advice
Pick up your girlfriend and take her on a date to Urban Air. Tell her she needs to wear a t-shirt, tennis shoes, and shorts. You can play together and jump on the trampolines. When you get hungry, you need to buy her a blueberry slurpee and sour skittles candy. You can get the same thing for yourself. Then, go to the park and play on the slides. You need to take her home at 1 pm and say, “Let’s go again tomorrow!” (Dryhten Reedy)
Have your boyfriend pick you up in his red truck and take you to the bounce house place. You can play with him on all the bounce houses. When you get hungry, he can buy you regular noodles with cheese sauce and a blue Powerade to drink. Then, he needs to take you to buy some squish mellows, maybe a frog one and a unicorn one. Have him take you home at 3 o’clock and say, “Thanks for taking me and for the squish mellows!” (Emma Daughty)
Have your boyfriend pick you up in a silver lamborghini and take you to the park where you had your kindergarten picnic at. You can play on all the slides. When you get hungry, he can take you to his house and fix you lunch. He needs to fix you pancakes with syrup and tea to drink. After you eat lunch, he needs to take you home. You need to tell him, “Thank you, I had a nice time!” (Ellie Dorris)
Graduation Advice
When you have your graduation program, you need to stand somewhere and behave! Your teacher will tell you where to stand. You have to wear your cap and gown so you will look like you are graduating. When your parents get you home, then you can take off your cap and gown, but not before that. If you get hot, you still have to leave it on if your parents want you to have it on! (June Pena)
When you graduate, you have to get a diploma with your name and lines on it. If you drop your diploma, it will break, so you have to hold it steady. You have to wear a graduation hat on your head and it has a yellow tassel. Don’t play with your tassel during the graduation ceremony because you don’t want to mess it up. You won’t have a tassel and everyone else will have one. That would be a bad situation! (Nehemiah Harrison)
When you graduate, you need to sing the Thank You song and the Goodbye song. You need to be nice to the neighbors that are standing next to you. If the person in front of you drops their hat, you need to pick it up for them because that’s a nice thing to do. Your parents want you to be a nice friend at graduation! (Trystan Harris)
Transportation Advice
Buy a yellow lamborghini and the car shop for about 30 dollars. You need to wear your seat belt when you are driving to stay safe. You should not drive past the speed limit around campus. The speed limit is probably about 20 miles an hour at campus. If you have a flat tire, you need to take it to the car shop and pay 10 bucks to get a new tire. You would probably have to work at a zoo to make enough money to buy you a new tire! You could feed the dangerous animals, but you need to be careful because they might do something bad to you! (Corey Acosta-Shwarts)
Buy a yellow truck at the Truck Store for 50 dollars. You need to wear your seat belt when you are driving your truck because it keeps you safe. You can give your friends at college a ride in your truck, but they have to wear their seat belts. They can’t eat food in your truck because then they will mess up the inside. You can let your girlfriend ride in your truck and she can eat in your truck, but not the other friends! (Hunter Porter)
Buy a purple truck for 3 dollars. You need to wear a seat belt so you don’t hurt yourself. If you run out of gas, you can go to the gas station and get more. You can go to the bank and get money for the gas in your truck! (Ruby Bartley)
Party/Homework Advice
If you have homework and your friends ask you to a party, you need to do your homework first so you don’t get in to trouble. You will have to go to detention if you go to college without your homework. When your homework is done, you can go to the party and take your flying airplane with you so the other friends can play with it! (A Friend)
If you have homework and your friends ask you to a party, you need to stay home and do your homework. When your homework is done, you can go to the party. You can take a toy present to the party. If it’s a girl’s birthday, you can take a Barbie doll. If it’s a boy’s birthday party, you can take a monster truck. You can eat a piece of butterfly cake at the party, but you need to say thank you for the cake! (Violet Thompson)
