Calvin get's wisdom's pulled

On April 20th I got my wisdom teeth taken out. They pulled all 4 of them but the worst part was they don't even come out of the gum until I'm 18. That day my mouth was exploding in pain after the numbness wore off. The reason they pulled them was they were coming in crooked and pushing the molars next to them. I got to drink lots of milkshakes and had to swallow whole a lot of food that I ate. That weekend my cheeks were so swollen Ilooked like, well, just look at the picture.

The caterpillar

In Science this week we are learning about caterpillars. This week at school everyone in my class got a caterpillar to keep track of. They are all in a little container crawling around. Over the weekend they are all supposed to make their coccoons. After they turn into butterflies we will let them go free in the school playground area. After we let the caterpillars go free, we are all going to get insects to study.

I might be a vegetarian

I don't like eating animals. I mean I don't like eating dogs and guinea pigs but it still gives me
the creeps when I eat chicken and turkey. I'll definitely turn away a dog or a guinea pig. I had some fried chicken the other day, I had trouble eating it, but I still don't like the feeling that I was eating a chicken, especially the bones. I just think its wrong to eat animals. I might be a vegetarian when I grow up. You might want to think about being one too.
