#1 Why even bother



Dear space aliens,

welcome to earth. here on earth we have many signs that tell you were things are and what is comming when you are driving on roads. there are signs that tell you to stop, yeild, and slow down. there are even signs that tell you how far to different cities. somthimes you may see signs that dont make sence, like this one. some humans believe that they are funny others just think they are a waste. i think they are amazing, they make you laugh when you are driving. now notice that the sign doesn't just tell you not to touch it but it also says that the bridge is out ahead.


Dear Carlsons

hi grandpa and grandma. i saw this sign while driving down the highway. and yes i can drive (i am now seventeen believe it or not.) i was just wondering if they had signs like this back in your day? i would think not because people were more serious, right? now i know that you can see the big wrighting on the sign. the "caution dont touch this sign," but can you see at the very bottom it says, in somewhat smaller writting, "Also, the bridge is out ahead." can you see it? i bet if this sign was here in 1805, you know when you were my age, it would just say "Bridge out ahead." that sounds boring!!

Dear Potter Blogger,
Your entries made me laugh. I especially enjoyed the space aliens one. I could relate to both. One suggestion might be to be more descriptive with your introductions. Maybe paint a picture with words. Keep up the good work!

Potter- Your first story to the aliens was really funny. The only thing i would change is that you could have been a little more creative. Maybe you could add a little story about the sign that the aliens would relate to. The second story was great. You really connected with the audience. You made it seem like you were talking to your grandparents when you asked them if they could see the small print on the car. Good Job.
