Ahh, a great thing of the past. One thing that was cool about moving alot was I got do different things in school. One of my favorites, like most children, was the field trips. Below I have listed some of my favorite and not so favorite ones. Comment and tell me yours.
1)The Great Lakes Science Center
One of my all time Favorite ones. I went her several times and I would love to go back here. I remember this part where you could run around on this giant green screen with a monitor in front of you and avoid the chief. They all so had and OMNIMAX theater, I saw deep blue every time.
2)Malley's Chocolate Factory Another one I loved. Every kid I knew waited for this one cause you only got to go once, except me I ended up moving and going twice! You got to tour the store and factory but what we all really loved was the chocolate bar you got at the end. 3) Giant Eagle One of my not so favorites. First of all for all you southerners Giant Eagle is like a northern Kroger's. I hated this one, you walked around the store, like you did with your parents, then got a lesson on nutrient. Finally the gave you a loaf of bread as a souvenir. The only cool part was you got to "test taste" some of the frozen pizza. 4)The post office I still don't understand this one. 4)The Circus This is a classic one I remember the first time I went it wasn't until like the 5th grade. Every time before that I always got sick and couldn't go. 5)The Butler Institute of American Art and The McDonough Museum of Art I loved museums. I still do. As a kid I would pretend I was the artist and I was explaining what I thought it meant.
Wanda: The problem with you men today
Is you don't listen clearly
This Valentine for whom you pine
Is yours if you sincerely
Pay some very close attention
To the things we're dreaming of
We'll make a list
Which will consist of
What Girl's Love
Mrs. Turner: Our name carved in an old oak tree
Veronica: A trust fund funded shopping spree

Is something special
Cosmo: That no slingshot can destroy
Timmy: Right!
So I decoy
If I'm the boy with
What Girl's Love
So open up your heart and see
That I am someone special
And hear me
As I make my desperate plea
Just listen to me clearly
Cause it's what I'm dreaming of
That you will see that I can be
A boy you'd love!
All the males: It's great to be a man
It's swell to be a guy
Timmy and Cosmo: To scratch and dig
And pick and itch
And no one asks us why
Timmy: We like to fight
Cosmo: We like to race
All the males: We grow our hair
On every place
Mr. Turner: And everybody knows
It's wrong to cry

And fart and spit
And kill all of your food
Male: We like to hit
We like to punch
Mr. Turner: Do we like corn?
Another male: I've got a hunch
Timmy, Cosmo, and Mr. Turner: And we like launching missiles in the sky
All the males: It's great to be a hairy, smelly
Cosmo: Check it out
I've got a belly
All the males: Great to be a hairy, smelly guy
Cosmo: Left! Left! Left! Left! Left!
Timmy: It's great to be a guy
That's why I sing this song
Cosmo: But I can't help
But stop and think
That maybe something's wrong
Timmy: But I've got meat
And I got fire
Cosmo: There's nothing else that I require
All the males: Except perhaps a massive pizza pie
Because it's great to be a guy
G-U-Y
Yes, Guy!
*Burp*
Timmy: I wish everyday could be Xmas
'cause Santa brings gifts every year;
He's reading my list
He's feeding the deer
He's hauling my gifts from the North Pole to here
I wish everyday could be Xmas
'cause every other holiday reeks;
New Year's Day's for mom and dad
The Easter bunny's eggs smell really bad
Valentine's Day always makes me sad
Dad: 'cause Timmy just can't get a girlfriend
Timmy: What?
Cosmo+Wanda: I wish everyday could be Xmas
'cause nice fairies get their rewards
Wanda: I got pudding, I got slacks
Cosmo: I got all my back hair waxed
Wanda+Cosmo: Santa grants wishes while we relax
Cosmo: And Timmy still can't get a girlfriend
Timmy: Stop that!
Timmy: There's just no other day like Xmas
My family stays here, it's real cool
Just me, mom and dad
I'm so very glad
There's no Vicki, no Vicki, no school
Cosmo: ...and no Vicki
Timmy: Right!
Timmy: I wish everyday could be Xmas
And I guess the best gift of all
My parents stay home to say:
Mum+Dad: "We love you, Noggy"
Dad: Mine!
Timmy: Wouldn't Xmas each day be the coolest of all
I wish it were Xmas
How I wish it were Xmas
I wish it were Xmas each day.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile!
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch.
You're a three decker sauerkraut
and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus",
You're a crooked dirty jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks,
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch.
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk!"

Every Who Down in Whoville Liked Christmas a lot… But the Grinch, Who lived just north of Whoville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all, May have been that his heart was two sizes too small. Whatever the reason, His heart or his shoes, He stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Whos, Staring down from his cave with a sour, Grinchy frown, At the warm lighted windows below in their town. For he knew every Who down in Whoville beneath, Was busy now, hanging a mistletoe wreath. “And they’re hanging their stockings!” he snarled with a sneer, “Tomorrow is Christmas! It’s practically here!” Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming, “I MUST find some way to stop Christmas from coming!” For Tomorrow, he knew, all the Who girls and boys, Would wake bright and early. They’d rush for their toys! And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise! That’s one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! Then the Whos, young and old, would sit down to a feast. And they’d feast! And they’d feast! And they’d FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! They would feast on Who-pudding, and rare Who-roast beast. Which was something the Grinch couldn’t stand in the least! And THEN They’d do something He liked least of all! Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, Would stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing. They’d stand hand-in-hand. And the Whos would start singing! They’d sing! And they’d sing! And they’d SING! SING! SING! SING! And the more the Grinch thought of this Who Christmas Sing, The more the Grinch thought, “I must stop this whole thing!” “Why, for fifty-three years I’ve put up with it now!” “I MUST stop this Christmas from coming! But HOW?” Then he got an idea! An awful idea! THE GRINCH GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA! “I know just what to do!” The Grinch laughed in his throat. And he made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat. And he chuckled, and clucked, “What a great Grinchy trick!” “With this coat and this hat, I look just like Saint Nick!” “All I need is a reindeer…” The Grinch looked around. But, since reindeer are scarce, there was none to be found. Did that stop the old Grinch? No! The Grinch simply said, “If I can’t find a reindeer, I’ll make one instead!” So he called his dog, Max. Then he took some red thread, And he tied a big horn on the top of his head. THEN He loaded some bags And some old empty sacks, On a ramshackle sleigh And he hitched up old Max. Then the Grinch said, “Giddap!” And the sleigh started down, Toward the homes where the Whos Lay asnooze in their town. All their windows were dark. Quiet snow filled the air. All the Whos were all dreaming sweet dreams without care. When he came to the first little house on the square. “This is stop number one,” the old Grinchy Claus hissed, And he climbed to the roof, empty bags in his fist. Then he slid down the chimney. A rather tight pinch. But, if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch. He got stuck only once, for a moment or two. Then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue. Where the little Who stockings all hung in a row. “These stockings,” he grinned, “are the first things to go!” Then he slithered and slunk, with a smile most unpleasant, Around the whole room, and he took every present! Pop guns! And bicycles! Roller skates! Drums! Checkerboards! Tricycles! Popcorn! And plums! And he stuffed them in bags. Then the Grinch, very nimbly, Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimney! Then he slunk to the icebox. He took the Whos’ feast! He took the Who-pudding! He took the roast beast! He cleaned out that icebox as quick as a flash. Why, that Grinch even took their last can of Who-hash! Then he stuffed all the food up the chimney with glee. “And NOW!” grinned the Grinch, “I will stuff up the tree!” And the Grinch grabbed the tree, and he started to shove, When he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove. He turned around fast, and he saw a small Who! Little Cindy-Lou Who, who was not more than two. The Grinch had been caught by this tiny Who daughter, Who’d got out of bed for a cup of cold water. She stared at the Grinch and said, “Santy Claus, why,” “Why are you taking our Christmas tree? WHY?” But, you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick, He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick! “Why, my sweet little tot,” the fake Santy Claus lied, “There’s a light on this tree that won’t light on one side.” “So I’m taking it home to my workshop, my dear.” “I’ll fix it up there. Then I’ll bring it back here.” And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head, And he got her a drink and he sent her to bed. And when Cindy-Lou Who went to bed with her cup, HE went to the chimney and stuffed the tree up! Then the last thing he took Was the log for their fire! Then he went up the chimney, himself, the old liar. On their walls he left nothing but hooks and some wire. And the one speck of food That he left in the house, Was a crumb that was even too small for a mouse. Then He did the same thing To the other Whos’ houses Leaving crumbs Much too small For the other Whos’ mouses! It was quarter past dawn… All the Whos, still a-bed, All the Whos, still asnooze When he packed up his sled, Packed it up with their presents! The ribbons! The wrappings! The tags! And the tinsel! The trimmings! The trappings! Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Crumpit, He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it! “PoohPooh to the Whos!” he was grinchishly humming. “They’re finding out now that no Christmas is coming!” “They’re just waking up! I know just what they’ll do!” “Their mouths will hang open a minute or two, Then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry BooHoo!” “That’s a noise,” grinned the Grinch, “That I simply MUST hear!” So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear. And he did hear a sound rising over the snow. It started in low. Then it started to grow. But the sound wasn’t sad! Why, this sound sounded merry! It couldn’t be so! But it WAS merry! VERY! He stared down at Whoville! The Grinch popped his eyes! Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise! Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, Was singing! Without any presents at all! He HADN’T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same! And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling: “How could it be so?” “It came with out ribbons! It came without tags!” “It came without packages, boxes or bags!” And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! “Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store.” “Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!” And what happened then? Well…in Whoville they say, That the Grinch’s small heart Grew three sizes that day! And the minute his heart didn’t feel quite so tight, He whizzed with his load through the bright morning light, And he brought back the toys! And the food for the feast! And he, HE HIMSELF! The Grinch carved the roast beast!
