... a thought...

So this past week my team at work did an activity where we wrote a short story that included random words, interesting plots, creative names and changes and alternate endings... here are the stories we came up with....


English is so Overrated

Long time ago a baby was born but something was not right, he looked ok and walked
okay but he has problems speaking. Jose cannot arrange his words in the right order.
His speech even more complicated to understand than Yoda, which is his beloved dog.

While he is slurping his soup, he would drool all over the place. When he makes a
calculation, he would say = 3 1 2 plus.

He asked his dog for advice on how to overcome his problem. His dog told him to go
to school. So during the Fall, he applied at special school and learned how to speak
using foods in sentences. He learned to say, “I eat vegetables” and “meat is unhealthy”
and “mashed potatoes are good” and “dessert is delicious” and “I love peas and carrots.”
Somehow, he still could not get his sentences right.

Hector, one of his classmates, has a stuttering problem. But he would make fun of Jose
because he still could not get his sentences right. He would taunt him by saying “has
sauce pizza”.

One day, he met a girl, Bella, as he saw her playing a banjo which got his attention. So to
flirt with her, he pulled out his loose toenail and gave it to her as a token of his love. In
return, she gave him her prized umbrella and they fell in love. After they started talking,
he learned to speak Spanish fluently without having all the words jumbled up.

They decided to get married and created a spreadsheet with the best wedding locations.
They even had Justin Bieber sing in their wedding. They moved to Mexico and lived
happily ever after.

Alternate ending:
On one particular day, he said something in English to her which she misunderstood that
ended their relationship. Instead of saying “I don’t want this love to end,” he said “Want
this love to end, don’t I.” He should’ve stucked with speaking Spanish. English is
overrated.



Bananarama


Many years ago, in a land far away lived and evil ogre named Spongejetta-rella who liked
to cook EVERYTHING with banana. She would make banana bread, banana pudding,
banana splits, banana cupcakes, banana peppers and banana on the cob. Spongejetta-rella
loved bananas so much that she even took regular showers with them.

One day out of the blue, a giant PINK monkey fell from a nearby tree into Spongejetta-rella’s yard. He
shook him self off and took a few calculating steps towards Spongejetta-rella’s house.
Suddenly from around his waist jumped out a giant frog. The frog said…I would love to
have a banana fro-yo right now. The monkey lead the frog towards Spongejetta-rella’s
house and they knocked on the door. Spongejetta-rella opened the door and welcomed
them in. “Do you have a banana fro-yo?” the frog said. “No I don’t! But I do have banana
spaghetti, banana pancakes, banana fried chicken, banana chips and dried banana.” “That
sounds perfect” said the frog, “Do you think you could blend all of that into a smoothie
“SURE!” she said and handed it to him. SLURPPPPPPPPPPPPP went the frog! Now I
can take over the world the frog said! Just then like magic, the frog leaped into the air
and became… a giant evil canevil mosquito so big that he took the roof off Spongejetta-
rella’s house with his wings. “Whatever shall we do?” said the pink monkey as he
cowered in the corner. All of a sudden, a Massive crack opened in the ground and water
started gushing out from it shooting the mosquito/frog into oblivion. “Thank goodness
for the Crack of Andy” they cried! Spongetta-rella and the pink monkey were so happy
that they decided to invite their friends Umbrella, Channing Tatum, Toenail, Banjo and
Spreadsheet over for a party! They ate and drank banana floats all night. And they all
lived happily ever after…the end!

Alternate ending:
While they were enjoying their fun banana limbo game, away in the bushes the mosquito
frog watched them planning his attack. Suddenly he frolicked out of the bushes and tried
to eat them all…just like a ninja, Channing Tatum sprung into action and sprayed the
mosquito frog with Mervyn’s love scent and they all watched as he shriveled up and
died…and they all lived happily ever banana-after.
