This happened to me in the Third grade.
I had a terrible horrible no good very bad day. It first started in morning
care when I was having my breakfast. I was eating cerial and it was mixed
with nuts and raisins. I didn't have time to finish my breakfast because it
was time to leave. Then it was the end of the day and I had a hard time
getting my books in my book bag so I bit my backpack. My teacher told
me to go to the principal's office, and explain to her why I bit my book bag.
I told her I would stop, and I would be good. After a few minutes, she
didn't send me, but she did say that if I am having a hard time getting my
books in my book bag, I ask for help, I don't bite book bags. And then
when I was in after care, I didn't know which homework was my math and
my reading, so I was crying. So I did not have a good day. The next day,
however, we had a snow day, so that was definitely a positive thing.
what was the point of this?
The point was to make you ask what the point was. See how well it worked?
This has to be a joke. And never mind that the title of the thread is a riff off a children's book.
lol Anthony
Isn't this the title of a CHILDREN'S book?
My little brother read it when he was a kid.
Yes, and that was where I got that from because it was a bad day. This
stuff really happened.
I'm just gonna say two things. First, if you're gonna use that many adjectives,
you should have more than two things that went wrong. You had a bad
breakfast and you bit a bookbag. The first is just boring, and the second makes
you look stupid. Neither are all that bad. Second, what in the world gives you
the impression that anyone on here cares about what happened to you in the
third grade? You could put this up on facebook for only your very best friend to
see and they still wouldn't care. Its aprepo of nothing, germane to nothing, and
just makes it seem like you're typing just to make sure your keyboard works.
I was hoping no one would respond to this one! Geez!
You all have nobody to blame but yourselves ... and now me,for adding to the count. And yet I can't get more than a few comments on creative stuff I post here. Balls, balls I say. :P There's probably a lesson in here somewhere.
Um, see, once when I was in second grade I got snapped with a rubber band. It's true. It really happened.
Ho ho ho Merry Christmas!
Well 3 bad things happened. I didn't get to finish my breakfast. I bit my
book bag because I was frustrated. And I didn't know which homework
assignment was which. The lessons learned are to stop and think if you have
a problem, do things a little faster when you have time constraints, and
develop a better system for organizing papers.
I can't believe they put one such as you in mainstream classes. A third grader should be beyond biting anything but food! You were and still are a little savage! Well, maybe you aren't so little, now, I am glad not to know.
Smile. Loved it. Made us post. Lol.
Keep em coming.
Thrird graders are not predictable VioletBlue dear. Do you have babies?
I hope you never aspire to become a writer. First, your story sucks (and we get further confirmation that your nuts... who bites a bookbag... really?) lol. Second, did you know it's illegal to plagerize? do me a favor: show us how dumb you really are... do you know what the word "plagerize" means?
lol
Yes, I'm actually waiting for my driver right now, so I'm killing time by posting here.
hahaha, bernadetta! seriously though, who bites a book bag? A little
kindergardener would but a third grader? I never did that. yes, I got
frusterated but I never would bite anything unless it was candy. :d
When she becomes a famous writer, she'll look back on this board and remember all the love and support she got from it. lmao
Sho ya right. Lol
So my only question here was were you trying to write a story here or just recount an event in which case I need to move the topic. Thanks!
hahahaha, anthony! lol! look at all the support! not.
How do you remember what you did in third grade? I mean an entire day?
Lol I find it unbelievable you'd be sent to the principal for biting your own book bag. Take it from one who spent some time in the principal's office, late 70s though so it's a different era.
I wouldn't know, but would venture a guess book bags probably taste better if you sprinkle them with a bit of salt and pepper first.
Lol you didn't bite your damned bag, unless someone dared you to.
Now, now Leo. You have a little girl, and you know how little girls are.
They do stuff like that. Mind did. Lol
True. Bite, pull, kick, scream.
Then when they get bigger they say "That's nopt okay".
Leo, they sent her to the principle's office because she's nuts. They thought she might start biting herself or other students--or their backpacks--next. lol
I didn't bite my bag, like ever, so not sure what the fuck.
As a writer myself, I would politely request, Apple that you please post non-writing topics in the appropriate boards. Writers' block is a place for one's wrighting. Please.
Maybe not bite your book bag, but... Lol
Boys are bad differently, but girls do some interesting things.
Umm I never bit my bookbag either. I, would have thought that was nuts, even when I was eight. lol.
I'd still be surprised a teacher would notice let alone care. I mean, tying the
girl's pigtails to her chair? Or putting an egg timer under the teacher's chair and
setting it? Or putting a frog in er desk? Sure, that's stuff will get you taken by
the back of the shirt and hauled down to the principal's office, or having to write
some horrid number of times "I will not disrupt class with my behavior" or
something to that effect. I'd have thought someone biting their own bag would
be nothing for a teacher to have concerned themselves with. That is the part I
found unbelievable. At the age she was at, you've got boys throwing spit wads,
girls pinching, kids throwing chalkboard erasers, etc. So biting one's own bag,
while a bit odd, doesn't seem like something a teacher would care about.
nah, they care leo. They need something to label one mentally disturbed or ADHD or whatever these days. lol. And in this case, I'm not so sure I'd disagree with them if they did. haha
Depends on how she was biting her bag.
Remember she couldn't get the books in it, so she probably tossed them on the floor, and just hauled off and bit that bag.
Visually, that be her getting upset.
Kind of like stomping your feet and screaming.
Teachers don't need audio to see the student is out of hand, or sorts. Lol
It all seems pretty silly to me.
Little girls are silly. Smile.
Lovable though.
Wayne's right, which is why we fool dads let 'em get away with a lot, too much, if you were to ask my daughter's mom.
Ah, yes.
"I'm not talking today." Okay fine.
"Why isn't anyone talking to me?"
*grin*
My brother ate the corner off one of our Braille picture books but he was seriously autistic and probably six years old at the time.
Natalie, I was trying to write a story. Since that is the case, I am guessing it
is on the right board; it's just a little short. I know what it means to
plajorize. It means to copy someone's work without giving them credit. I
didn't plajorize here though. And teachders do care; they have this way
where they act like they know everything.
Yep, thanks for the clarification. That's why I asked.
No, didn't do that.
The title is plagiarism, ApplePeaches. The story is creative nonfiction.
You call that creative greg? lol
And Kristen, actualy, you sure did plagerize. Copying a title is the most blatant, as well as the dumbest form of plagerism I've ever seen. lol. I mean, all one has to do is glance at the title to spot it. A sleeping baboon would notice that. lol.
Creative in the same way that trying to gain enlightenment by shoving a fork through a head of lettuce and then juggling it with your feet while hand-walking across a glass floor on a rainy day in July in Cuba is creative.
It's basically nonsensical and pointless, but it falls in the category of creative nonfiction.
Also, just another note:
It's not p-l-a-j-o-r-i-z-e, although with the way the word is said, that spelling lkinda makes sense.
It's p-l-a-g-i-a-r-i-z-e.
Hmm, leo, I kinda agree with you. Yet... I did run out of class once crying.
Not biting people or biting book bags. and kristin, I'm curious... how old are
you? This is not older people's stuff to post. And, dang, you actually
remember everything that happened in the third grade? wow. I left those
days like I left that middle school.
middle/elementarry school. I liked it, don't get me wrong. but, the little kid
stuff... I used to get angry for nothing. Maybe I still do? *blushes* anyways,
pointless. I'm posting cuz I'm bored. :d
Look at her apple paper topic. i'm shocked she was not thrown out of college for improper source citation and plagiarism. No professor or English teacher would give a passing grade for such crappy work. I'm not the best writer myself, but I at least make an attempt at trying to cite things properly. this is absolute nonsense on her part.
I agree, Remy. I am not allowed to plagerize in high school and I'm pretty sure
that you're not supposed to plagerize in college either.
You will get kicked out of college if you do.
You're a really girl Sia. Smile.
thanks wayne! :d
I did not plagirize here. If one of you were to copy what I wrote and put it
on another board claiming it was something that you wrote, then it would be
plagirism. I am 23 Marilyn. I remember elementary school very well...I have a
memory like an elephant.
Plagiarism, unfortunately, isn't just defined as ripping someone off. In an academic setting, it also is defined by not citing sources.
You plagiarized when you wrote the topic of this thread. You didn't claim you wrote that book, and the contents were not from that book as far as I know, so you may have been attempting nothing but humour. But still.
No, it was not plagirism! There could be content that has the same title but
the ideas are totally different. For example, there is a Song called What
about Now by Daughtry and a song by Lonestar called What about Now.
That doesn't mean that Daughtry plagirized; he had the same title, but the
ideas for their songs were totally different.
The phrase "what about now" is a good deal more innocuous than "My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day".
If two artists wrote a song with the same name and very similar lyrics, one would probably sue the other for plagiarism.
You wrote a story about a terrible day you had, cribbed the title of a children's book about a terrible day either in homage or parody. That's basically plagiarism.
I doubt like hell the author of that book ever comes here, much less would give a rip about you borrowing the title...but if nothing else it makes you look very unoriginal, as well as a bit soft in the attic if we add in your actual story itself.
and FYI, plagiarism has an A between the i and the r.
lol daily dose of amusement!
Guess I aut to really read this book. Everyone else seems to have. Smile.
hmm, never read it but wasn't there a movie about it? about this guy who
seriously loved australia and always ended up having a very bad day? hmm,
yup, plagiarism. you coppied and pasted on the paper topic. and this...
wow...
Yeah you probably could find someone reading it if you look on youtube, and I
forget the author of that book.
wow and what fun this was to read and to me it seemed as though a child had written this and I've not heard of this title before or even read the book either.
Guess we learned the Zone reads children's books. Didn't we? Smile.
Lol
