A little boy moved into a new house. He was a very messy little boy, however, and soon enough his room was a disaster area! His mother and father got ever so upset and told him to clean up his room or else. "Or else what?" "A monster will eat you up!" The little boy scoffed -- "The science is not in yet." But, sure enough, that night, a monster creeped into his room and scared him so much, he raced into his parent's bedroom scared to death. He learned his lesson, didn't he!

A mink was rummaging through a kitchen and found on the table a cookie and some milk! He loved chocolate chip cookies ever so much, so he dipped some of the cookies in the milk. He grew greedy, however, and opened the refrigerator door, looking for more! He got locked in the frig and was only saved when his owner heard his little paws banging against the frig door. He learned his lesson: avarice can be deadly!

To her surprise a little girl found a rabbit in her garden on Easter Day. She studied it with all her might. Suddenly, it stood up and told her that if she's a good little girl, she'll get a potion that will make all her dreams come true. She looked at the rabbit and sighed, "Silly Rabbit, why would I want that to happen? My family loves me, that's all I need for my dreams to come true!"

someone give me a concept and I'll try to write a children's story about it in 500 characters.

Given the difference in standards of public places, how long until a French person toots something that is cool in France, but raises eyebrows elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, French chicks are hot. :-)

Children's story

There once was a little girl who wanted to be class president. She was the best in her class. But a class bully ran for president, too. And he got help from another class, which shot paper planes into the class room, saying the little girl cheated on her pop quizzes. The bully vowed to punish nerds, too. In the end, he won and there was sorrow in the class. How did this happen? How could it be? An investigation proved a bad little boy in another class directed an evil plot.

well, we don't have any "thought leaders" on here yet. no NYT or Washington Post writers having a salon for us no0bs to watch.

I like the feed moving, which I think is like TweetDeck, but there needs to be something else...something's missing....maybe make it more like live chat found on Slack, IRC and AOL Chat rooms?

it just makes too much sense for Trump to attack the sooner rather than later. He needs a win, a big one ASAP.

question, did the modern age start with the advent of the smart phone? discuss

today's question -- is it possible to write a children's story in 500 characters?

any French people willing -- in English -- to tell me Le Pen's chances?

it's amusing how tinder new users are on new services. I remember on Blab.im how people freaked out when I would just write a snarky blab title. oh, those were the days.

of all the things that make me nervous these days its Trump as Commander-in-Chief that really makes me think about building a fallout shelter

I think the whole instances thing may be a serious headache if this service blows up

it's amusing how every new service goes through the same phases. le sigh

can't tell if it's taking people a long time to respond to me, or if it's the system

You would think it wouldn't be that hard to just re-write an outline to fix it, but I'm doing it in long-hand, so I get tired

I should be working on my outline, but I'm tired.
