Mini Mall

Hmmmmm... Mini Mall. Oh sweet, sweet, mini mall. It's practically like giving stuff away. "What," you might ask, "is this 'mini mall' you speak of?" I'll tell you what it is I speak of! Well, Mini mall is where the teachers give you 'funny money' or, mini mall money (MMM or Triple M, but most people call it 'mini mall') whenever you do something good, like read a book, or answer a question correct (only one known teacher is known to do this, Mr. Brown- oh and of course Mrs. Traynor, sometimes). If you do something bad, like talk during silent lunch, or back-talk a teacher. I don't believe we should call it 'back talk'. It's just a way to express our feelings. I'm just kidding. I don't think we should back talk a teacher. (Notice the emphasis on should). They also pay you for doing your 'job'. Like, washing tables, Paper Passer Outer, (Mrs. Boulton calls it PPP. I think it's kind of funny!) or messenger. And at the end of every six weeks, we have Mini Mall, which is like a Mall in the Hall (I meant for that to rhyme!!!). People can make stuff and sell it, have junk sells (where they just find old stuff they don't want and sell it) or go all out and buy some stuff at the Dollar Tree. Some people sell bookmarks, old stuffed animals, homemade t-shirts, old toys, everytime at least one person spray paints people's hair which is very widely popular, and, well, my list could go on forever. This week I'm selling pipe cleaner pencils. That is where I wrap pipe cleaners around shiny pencils and make a figure at the top, such as a flower (my brother makes a jet pack man), a star, a heart, a boingy thing, etc. etc... I am also selling pipe cleaner rings. My moma bought severel different colored pipe cleaners such as almost every neon color you could imagine (except yellow, for some reason they don't have that color) and regular earthy colors. Neon colors are very popular in my grade. People have neon V-neck t-shirts, neon tanktops, neon shoes, neon socks, neon shoe-laces etc. etc... Well, I just thought I'd tell ya! See ya later!!!
