The Blog Story
by Mackenzie, age 10, New Jersey
"Annie, do you have any more gossip to put in the newspaper?” Said Tommy, leaning back in his chair and looking around for papers. “No, I have nothing. New York is so boring right now. Nothing is happening.” “Annie we have to put something up.” “I know Tommy but I have literally nothing and I did tell the news crew to send me something if anything is happening so we can put it on our blog.” “Ok so we will get news to put on but it might not be for about 2 days,” “Ok well I will tell the crew to try to tell us sooner.” “Ok good cause fans are getting very unhappy.” Tommy decided to take a break and get a bite to eat. So he went to the sandwich house across the street, but when he was on line, one of the sandwiches came alive and it started distroying and trashing the place! But Tommy got away just in time because a bag of chips was just about to be thrown at him. Tommy ran to his office and told Annie but a minnie sandwich followed Tommy into the office and almost ate a computer and a toilet seat, but Annie and Tommy trapped him in the bathroom and one of Annie and Tommy business partners had to go to the bathroom and they did not realise it was their so it got stuck I the toilet and it got flushed. But Tommy and Annie did not realise it happened so they went back to work.“Hey Tommy, are we going to include that me and you almost got are office eaten by a sandwich in the blog?” “Yes, because fans can tell their friends to read our blog and they are going to love it and then start reading our blog.” Said Tommy running out of breath. “You are right I will get on that right now and do you have any pictures of the baby sandwich?” “ Yes I do, I will send them to you in a minute, let me just find them.” “Ok see you later,” said Annie“Ok Tommy I am all done with, Tommy what are you doing?” “ I am trying to sleep but you have to do the blog” “ I can’t because I am falling asleep and because I woke up at 4 am today.” Said tommy almost asleep.

The next day Annie and Tommy got back to work on the blog. “Morning Tommy I got you a coffee from our favorite place, The Playground Store!!” Tommy and Annie screamed and started hysterically laughing. “Morning thanks for the coffee.
