Chickens

May 3rd, 2011 by Princess

My Mom got Chickens! And we’re having fun collecting the eggs. Some of the eggs are brown and some of them are white and some are a pinkish white.

We like taking care of our chickens, they are nice and they feed us with eggs. Their names are Agnes, Betty, Dorothy, Henrietta, Golda and Marge. But we only use the names so that, say, mom told dad one of the chickens needed a shot. But dad didn’t know which one. Then mom would say Henrietta needs a shot then dad would take Henrietta to the vet.

The History of Plumbing.

October 7th, 2010 by Princess

Our American English word ‘plumbing’ comes from the Latin word for ‘lead’ which is ‘plumbum.’ Plumbing used to be made from lead. Plumbing is the skilled work of tubes and piping for drinking water and toilets. A plumber is a person who fixes and installs plumbing that is needed for water heaters, showers, bathtubs and fountains.

Before the growth of modern cities during the nineteenth centuries, plumbing was extremely rare. About the same time public health authorities started asking for better waste disposal systems to be installed. Before that, people dumped their waste on the ground or in the rivers.

Evidence of early plumbing methods have been discovered as far back as c.2000 B.C. We know the Sumerians had plumbing for hot and cold water around 2000 B.C. Urban settlements of the Indus Valley had earthen plumbing pipes with broad flanges which used asphalt to prevent leaks by 2007 B.C. 500 years ago in England, hollowed wooden logs wrapped in steel banding were used for water mains. U.S. Cities also began using hollowed logs throughout the late 18th and 19th centuries.

Ancient water systems depended on gravity to run the water through pipes and channels made of clay, lead, bamboo or stone. Systems today use a network of high-pressure pumps. Pipes are now made of copper, brass, plastic, or other nontoxic material. Drain and vent lines are made of plastic, steel, cast-iron, and lead. People stopped using lead for drinking water after World War II because of the dangers of lead poisoning.

Super C: Chapter One

September 23rd, 2010 by Princess

Super C

Chapter One

Once there was a super hero named Super C. She had the powers of invisibility, force field, and she could fly. Her helper was her dad. He always came with her, he helped and he guided her. When he was with her he was called Super Daddy. Her mom had disappeared when she was three… at least that is what she was told. Her dad also said she never had any brothers and sisters, but there is something she does not know.

Anyways, she used her powers to protect her home town like other super heroes, but in this story… well, you’ll find out.

One morning in Beauty Cutie town Christine awoke at eight o’ clock and went to the kitchen to make herself some breakfast. she had banana nut pancakes, orange juice, a wedge of cheese and spinach. Then her father came in and poured himself a bowl of cereal.

Good morning Father,” said Christine politely, “How are you today?”

Then her father said “Good morning to you to sweet heart and I am very good thank you,” and then he sat down next to Christine.

Just as they had finished eating the phone rang. Christine ran to the phone and said “I will get it!” and then she looked to see who was calling. It was Mayor Will. She knew what to do. She answered the phone and said, “This is Super C at your service!”

Then Mayor Will said “We need your help! The Evil Dragon Dude along with some other person has broke in and stolen Princess Lilabelle! Can you help us?”

Super C said “I’ll be there!”

Then she ran to the kitchen to tell her dad. He said, “well lets get ready.” Super C ran to her room then immediately cartwheeled out of her room, down the hallway, did a flip, landed on her feet and said, “I’m ready!” Her dad was ready too, So they ran out the door and flew up in the air. Flying as fast as they could they got there in the nick of time and landed. They walked into the mayors office and asked how the could help and what they needed to do.

Mayor Will said that when Dragon Dude kidnapped Princess Lilabelle, he dropped something before he flew off. It was a small hand held recorder. They turned it on and listened. It said sis, uh, oops, I mean, Super C… I am taking Lilabelle to a clock tower in your hometown. Have you heard of it? Anyways, I will meet you there. MWWWWAHHAHAHA!!!

They said to Mayor Will “Thank you. We WILL get her back,” and then they took off. When they got close to the tower she put a force field around them and turned them invisible. When they landed, they could hear Lilabelle’s muffled cries. Lilabelle was inside a room in the clock tower tied to a wooden pillar. Super C turned around then made them visible again. Super C flew to Lilabelle and helped her. As soon as she was finished she headed to the door but there was some lady in the way like the mayor had mentioned on the phone then she started to go the other way but The Evil Dragon Dude was there. Super C yelled “Super Daddy help!”

Super Daddy ran to Super C.

Super Daddy flew over and knocked The Evil Dragon Dude out of the way and then he grabbed Lilabelle and started to fly up. But The Evil Dragon Dude said, “Wait! I want y’all to meet someone.” He said, “This is MomVillian.” Super C turned around, punched The Evil Dragon Dude in the face, knocked him over, tied MomVillian up, then flew off and landed at the mayors office.

Here she is!” they said breathlessly to Mayor Will, Super Daddy said, “I already called the construction department to fix your office. I paid for it too.

Thank you! “ said Mayor Will. “I have provided my daughters for y’all. They are obedient and have never told anyone my secrets. They will be your maids and room service.”

Super C spoke up and said, “Um, Sorry but we can’t accept this.” Then Super Daddy said, “Sorry, Mayor Will, but we have to go. Thank you for your help.”

Then they went home. They made themselves invisible while walking home so no one would know where they lived.

When they got home they ate lunch and took a nap but Christine could not sleep. She was thinking about MomVillian. Why was she called that? Why does her name have the name “mom” in it?

And then she was thinking: “Bud”, “Lilabelle”, those names sound so familiar. Then she fell asleep. She had a dream and there was a lady she was arguing with her dad then she walked out the door with two kids. Who were they? she had that same dream before and asked her dad the same question before. Hmmm?

When she woke up it was dinner time. She walked out of her room and everything was a disaster.

She ran to her fathers room and yelled, “Father!”, her father was tied up.

There was a drawing on the floor. It was a picture of Christine, her Father and MomVillian. Dragon Dude was standing next to Christine and there was Lilabelle. That is when she realized her dream was true! The Evil Dragon Dude and Lilabelle were her older siblings and MomVillian was her mom. She knelt down and cried; then she yelled “NOOOOOOO!”
