Show and tell

Jimmy, what are you going to take to show and tell? My mum asked one Sunday evening. Would I take my blue glowing mickey mouse ears from disneyland this holiday or should I take my fish joseph. Maybe I should take my biltong from South Africa it is so juicy. Should I take my Christmas tree it is very beautiful. I wonder how my teacher would feel if I brought my dads elephant or if I brought my mom’s new earrings. Or should I bring the piece of a volcano I found at Hawaii or the piece of white house tile I got. Should I bring my selfie with Trump? Should I take a google challenge video. Maybe I can bring my mums credit card. What if I bought the hole class McDonald's for show and tell! But I would need a credit card for that. Well I guess I could take my T.V. or I could take one of Trump’s tweets. Should I bring my mum’s phone and show the class the games on it. I’ve got it!

I’m going to have to figure out a way to get it there, I know, I will lure it out of the house into the car early in the morning and then when mum drops me off at school I will take it with me. Or that was the plan. You see mum caught me and then she said I couldn’t take it because apparently it is inappropriate to take your sister to school for show and tell. And so miss that is why I don’t have anything for show and tell today.
