How To Puffy PaintIf you’re a BBG, listen up! There is one task that every single

one of you girls should know how to complete. If you can accomplish this task, you can wrestle a million bulls, you can tie the cow down and jump over the moon yourself. You can even look at your eyebrows without the need of a mirror! This one task is puffy painting, the art of puffy painting (Cue James Bond music). To master the art of puffy painting, will forever remain a mystery, but to those who are in Beth Kadima, mystery is history! Our middle name is Puffy Paint, that’s enough evidence to know it’s true! “But Madison, what do I even puffy paint, and how?!” Awesome question, quotation! You can puffy paint nearly anything! T-shirts, candles, bandanas, candles, bananas, candles, socks, candles, sweatpants, candles, your pet goldfish, candles, your old boyfriend from the 7th grade, and most importantly, CANDLES!!!! Everyone loves getting candles and the only way to make them pretty enough to walk the runway, is by puffy painting them! How do I puffy paint, you ask? Simple get some funk-a-licouspuffy paints, and dance the night away! You can design candles with a BBG’s name, with the reason of giving the design, or just go crazy with patterns! Either way, you’re now able to walk the walk and paint the- er- puffy painting?

This has been Madison Wakefield, Back to you Katz!

Creative Writing-Stories, Poems, and Lists

The Story of Two BananasAn old man hobbled into a grocery store. His mind a road, with so many trails and intersections, he was lost, heading down a

road he knew not of. He headed towards the fruit, and picked himself up two bundles of bananas. For he didn't notice the ripeness of the bananas, he had chosen one bundle almost completely green, and the other perfectly yellow. The old man limped off to collect the rest of his groceries, and then paid.

The old man entered his kitchen, and laid the two banana bundles into a ripped and smelly straw basket. He wandered off, forgetting to put the rest of the groceries away.

A day passed, and the two banana bundles still laid in the basket. But there was something different about the yellow bundle, near the bottom of one of the individual bananas, there was a small spot of brown. On the green bundle, an individual banana had a large yellow spot.

The green/ yellow banana noticed this, and asked the banana with the brown spot, "What happened to your perfect yellow? Your yellow color was perfect."

The other banana responded, "As time passes, I will turn brown, and soon you will turn a perfect yellow as I was."The green/yellow banana then dreamed of when it will turn a perfect yellow, forgetting the banana turning brown.Time passed on, with the green banana almost a beautiful yellow and the yellow banana almost completely brown, as the

yellow/brown banana said.The almost yellow banana then asked, "What will happen when you are completely brown?""I will become rotten, as other bananas I've seen do," the almost brown banana said. "Then the old man will either eat me, or

throw me away"The almost yellow banana was horrified. "But you are a kind banana! You shouldn't be wasted!

"There's nothing we can do," replied the almost brown. "I just hope the old man decides to eat me, so I'm not completely wasted."

But the almost yellow banana did do something. The banana wished and prayed for it's banana friend not to wasted. The banana’s wish came true. The old man hobbled into the kitchen, and pulled the almost brown banana out of the straw basket. The old man left the kitchen, peeling the brown banana.The yellow banana knew it would never see the kind banana again, and dearly missed its friend.

As time passed, the yellow banana was completely yellow, and then soon turned completely brown. But the banana was never eaten by the old man, as the old man took all the other bananas but that one. So, the banana was left rotting away in the old straw basket, doing nothing else but leaving a foul odor.

Geometry-(Reflections on School)

My First Impression of High

School

My first impression of

High School was fun but though.

I love having lunch outside, but I

have had so much homework and

tests, already. Geometry is gonna

be the death of me! I don’t LOVE

all my teachers but I never do.

They have to grow on me like

bananas in a bunch! I have made

so many new friends already but

have already had so much drama

between my best friends and I.

High school is different than

middle school in many ways, but

it’s up to you to decide if those

ways are positive or negative.

By Sarah Bratton

School sucks. I

have no classes with any

of my Beth Cadets. The

best parts of the day

include seeing

underclassmen bananas in

the halls and watching

Maya go to some science

class.
