30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 10

Topic: A Fruit You Dislike And Why

Easy, Watermelon! BLAH!!! I do not like this fruit, I won’t eat it if it is the last thing around.  I Do Not Like It Sam I Am! LOL. 

I find that I don’t enjoy the taste one bit. I guess growing up on an isolated island, there isn’t much choice in fresh fruit.  There are lots of berries to pick, which I love! I enjoy most fruits, but watermelon is not one of them.

I had a student the other day offer me a piece of gum. I desperately wanted some. I popped it into my mouth, and immediately was grossed out.  Why? The flavor was watermelon.  If it wasn’t for the fact that I wanted gum so badly, I would have spit it out.

There. Not much else to say. Watermelon. YUCK!

Topic: A Book You Love And One You Didn’t

For those of you who know me, I’m not a big reader. I never have been, I try sometimes to get into reading, it lasts for a bit, then I stop for a long time.  I do not like books that have complicated English terms that when I read it, I have no idea what it just said.  I tend to gravitate towards books meant for teens.  I have read a whole bunch of series that students I teach have also read and enjoyed. They are easy and quick books to read, and that’s probably another reason why I like them.  But, for choosing a book I love? Bah….

There are probably some of you that think I’m crazy, you probably have THAT book where you have those thoughts. Not me. I just don’t have that kind of mind.
