This is my 9-year-old Granddaughter's version:
"Hey! Garfield, where are you going with my Sports Direct duffel bag? And my sport sungLassEs, and my cool black movie jacket, and are those my extra chocolate-chip double fudge and toffee, triple marshmallow-caramel, quadruple cinnamon flake and crushed crisps sprinkle icing sugar bars I see? Oh, and not to mention doughnut box and oh oh oh! Are those love chocolates I see? In a heart shaped box? For some girl maybe? And you're going out in the late evening, you didn't eat your dinner...I think it's a date you're heading to!", said John. Garfield could only stare and blush. It was a date but he couldn't let John know because then he'd be giving Garfield lots of noogies (a hard rubbing with the knuckles on someone's head, or occasionally elsewhere, intended to inflict pain) and comments like "You're in love", or, "When's ya wedding?" Then John started itching his head for five minutes straight before yelling "Ahh! This head louse is driving me crazy! At least I think it's a head louse." Something fell out of Garfield's pocket that looked ever so like John's wallet. He picked it up, turned around and fumbled a bit and turned back around. He handed John back his wallet and tried to look as innocent as possible. "Garfield, come clean and hand over the money" said John sticking his hand out. "Was is £10 or £15 or was it ....eeek! Garfield, did you leave the door open?! Oh no! Odie's on the loose!"
This is my version:
There was a Loud noisE as Dan left his room and came downstairs preparing to go out to have his job interview. "Whatever are you wearing?", gasped Dan's Mum, "Those trousers are far too baggy and loose. You won't impress an employer", she chided. Dan made even more noise as he went back to his room and changed. Once he got back downstairs, Dan's Mum exclaimed: "Now that's better, Remember, you are aiming to impress. Speak clearly and politely. Don't louse up this interview like the last one." Dan hated the lecture but realised the wisdom. This time he came home with a huge grin and a hug for his Mum that said it all.
