What Do I Comapre Myself To?

Authors Note: I wrote this story because we had to write a personal metaphor piece so I decided that my mom calls me this all the time so this is my metaphor it was the first thing that popped into my mind
“you are a floor lamp” my mom always says that to me when were standing next to each other or I make a smart comment. she calls me that because she thinks I am tall skinny and smart.  because a floor lamp is tall and skinny and it has a light bulb so i guess my mom just connected my smarts with a light bulb should I take this as a compliment or should I ?  

The boy who skipped school

Authors note: I wrote this story because i wanted to write a short story and obviously it turned into a large story I had so many ideas i like this story because its is one story wrote that I don't relate to myself

It was a beautiful Monday morning in Denver, Colorado the sun was just rising over the horizon as  parents were waking up there children to get ready for school. School only had 3 more weeks before kids were released for the summer so everybody was up but Skippy. Skippy didn't want to go to school he just wanted to play video games go to the park and do other things that didn't involve alot of thinking. But Skippy's mother said “Skippy in 3 weeks you will be able to do all that stuff without skipping class”.
Skippy cried and begged but his mother said no time after time until Skippy hatched an idea he packed up his skateboard, his football and a few other things in his backpack His mother yelled “Skippy its time to go” Skippy yelled “im coming.”


 When Skippy was in the car with his mother he was silent. “Wow sure did change your idea of wanting to skip” his mother he said “yea well Harold  texted me and told me we were having a party in class today”:. “oh well sounds like fun” his mother said as she pulled up to school Skippy waved his mother good bye as he got out of the car he walked slowly up to the doors.  He noticed his mother was gone he turned and went behind school he went to the Field that was right behind his school decided he would stay there by himself all day long hey it beat going to school Skippy thought. when he got out of sight from any windows at school he sat down and pulled out his cell phone. He called school and pretended to sound like his father “ I am sorry but my son Skippy Johnson will not be able to come he is very sick” he told Mrs. Smith the Secretary she said “OK” and hung up sounding very busy.

 Skippy just hung out in the grass and skate board on the pavement a few inches away when he heard a noise it was a loud crash he went to go look at what the sound could have been when he noticed some guy trying to get into the school he was armed with a weapon in his hand  Skippy was so scared his fingers were tingling his teeth were chattering. He quietly put his things back in his bag and ran off so the person would not hear him “I told my mom i should have stayed home” he said under his breath he knew that the guy wouldn't get in because there school had a top notch security system. So Skippy ran and ran and ran until he felt he was safe when he stopped he was in woods he had been running for the past hour where had he gone!

Skippy had walked for another hour still paranoid about the man that could have followed him after another hour of walking Skippy was tired and just wanted to go home. He looked at his watch it read 2:00 which meant he had 45 minutes to get out of the woods and go to his moms car he walked for another half an hour he plopped down on the ground and shed a tear or two and he told himself “I wish I would have gone to school today” he never thought he would say that. Skippy hated school.

 He had to find his mothers car in 15 minutes or he was toast he started frantically running through the forest to find his way out at 3 he knew his mom was worried sick probably called all his friends and knew he was in trouble because they told her he wasn't at school today. Then he remembered he had his phone out but it had no signal he walked and walked and walked to try to find a cell phone signal until he finally found himself outside the forest he called his mom and she said “Skippy where have you been you are grounded mister where are you are you all right”. Then Skippy interrupted her and said “mom I am fine I am just lost but I am standing right by a street sign that says Forest grove” he said then his mother said “Forest Grove? forest grove forest gro Wait i know where that is i will be there in 5 minu”. She hung up before she could even finish the word.

Skippy sat down and waited for his mother and she was there in 2 minutes flat he got up and walked over to the car and his mother started yelling at him before he opened up the door his mother told him he was grounded till summer vacation. And that she wouldn't be leaving school from this point on until she sees him go in the door until he can drive on his own. the next day he asked Harold what they did in class Harold said “it was actually really fun the whole day we learned about stranger danger. They even Had someone pretend to break in” then Skippy stopped dead in his tracks he ran from a fake robber with a fake weapon and got lost for no reason at all from that day on Skippy never missed a day of school or work for that matter.

Jewlery Box

Authors note: Imagine what it would be like to be a jewlery box! Going on that type of journey would be fun exciting and interesting! Read the story of my Jewerly boxs journey.

I remember when I was just a pieces of wood sitting at the manufacturer but then a few days later I was made in to a box with doors and shelves and they named me jewelry so I became a Jewelry box. I was sitting on the shelves for days and days until this really nice lady and her daughter came in and took me off the shelf I had been sitting on forever and ever they set me on another counter where the mean lady that put me on the shelf had scanned me! well after that she put me in a bag and the lady walked around me to different stores for hours and hours until finally we left.

As she walked out in the cold with me it was freezing well she put in a little burrow and slammed the door shut it was dark and scary after that I heard another slam and we were moving about 10 minutes later the lady opened the door and took me out she went into her house and layed me on her bed when she started putting necklaces, bracelets, nail polish, rings, and earrings in me of course I didn't mind until she wrapped me all up in wrapping paper. Then put me right by the front door where there was definitely a draft a few hours later I felt myself be picked up again and put in a different spot it was lighter even though I could barley see through the little hole in the wrapping paper.

When we started moving again we we finally got to our destination I heard the door open and felt myself being picked up again when we went in I heard laughter and alot of people.  The little I could see I was placed under a tree after all that craziness I finally got some sleep when about an hour later I felt myself be picked up yet another time and this time a  girl started ripping open my wrapping paper. she looked very surprised when she saw me she started opening my drawers and saw all the Jewelry the other lady had put inside me now it has been about almost 2 weeks and I sit here in my unorganized home.
