Yard Sale Find
My nanny bought me a box of old books at a yard sale. They were the Brains Benton Mysteries. I read them all and thought for a while I might be a detective.

Research Papers
I used to stay with my best friend, Oliver, after school until my mom got home. His mom and dad would have us use the encyclopedias to write research papers about various topics.

Singer, Songwriter, Dancer
My brother and I used to put random topics in a hat and draw them out. Then we would separate and go to our rooms to write songs and dances about the topics. We would then perform them for each other and pick a winner. -
