At church, we have a wall where we write our names. I saw my crush's name and wrote, "hot and spicy," next to it. As I was writing it, I turned around and there he was. He gave me a crazy look and walked away.

My little sister and I have the same backpacks. One day, we were in a rush and accidentally switched bags. When I got to school, I opened the bag and it fell. Next thing I knew, everybody was staring and laughing. There were Teletubbies plushies and a training diaper on the floor!
