Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving I went to my grandma's house in Fayette county, right next to a farm and surrounded by corn fields.While my family watched the boring thanksgiving day parade and prepared dinner, I went and played old computer games on my grandma's old Comadore 64, like Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Tetris and other such games, as I played I wished my parents would've let me bring the Wii. Once I got bored with playing these games I went and started watching some christmas specials, such as Frosty, Rudolph and Santa's Coming to Town.

When dinner was finnaly ready, I ate the Thanksgiving feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cheese covered broccoli, rolls, and pumpkin pie, which we had to bring, because my grandma couldn't cook anymore. Everyone was there, my uncle, my aunt, both my grandmas, my 3 cousins and my grandma's twin and her family. My brother had to leave early to go to his boring holiday job at Brookestones.

Then after my brother left we climbed over the fence to the farm that neighbors my grandma's house. While we were over there we played with the goats, chickens, ducks, ponies and cats. Then after that we went back and got fishing supplies and went fishing in the pond, of course we had to let all the fish we caught go, because we weren't allowed to steal the neighbors fish. The rest of the next day the rest of us played ping-pong and pool in the basement. Then after that we played Apples to Apples. Then at the end of the day we watched Miracle on 34th Street and listened to christmas songs.

How Shrek differs from a normal fairy tale

Shrek differs from a normal fairy tale because the monster, Shrek, is the hero, and the damsel in distress is not really helpless, also the better looking then Shrek merry men are not the heroes, but the villans.

lightswitch

There once was a lightswitch in my room which I had no idea what it did. I spent many a night wondering what it could possibly turn on, perhaps it opened and closed a neighbors garage, like that one Nationwide commercial, or maybe it opened up a portal to a world, like Narnia, or maybe it would electocte me, maybe it fires off nuclear bombs. I went to my dad to ask him what it did, he sternly said "DON'T under ANY circumstances turn that LIGHTSWITCH ON!" I went to my mom and asked her what it did she said it probobly did nothing. I asked my sister and she said "It would stop an annoying little brother from bothering me" I asked my brother and he said it would probobly kill me. Finally after months of preparing for all the possibilities I went and turned it on. At first it did nothing, then the lights flickered...and...they...turned on!
