American Candy

In my ESL class today I gave them an assignment to write about American Candy.  The results were much more humorous than I anticipated.

KitKat

It is 2 pieces of bread with chocolate over it

Skittles

They taste like fruit, but not the outside of fruit

Skittles

They taste like fruit, I have a small cousin that cries a lot, I think I should feed her this so she won’t cry.

Gummy Worms

They are sour and two colors, like ombre

Whoppers

They are round and taste a little like chocolate and a little like Starbucks

M&M's

They taste like chupa chup candy that we have in Vietnam.  They bring me a lot of happiness

4 sets of keys

I have 4 sets of keys
one for home
one for office
one for school
one for off site work

My life has become a series of keys
pull into my driveway- keys connected to car will get me into the house
pull into office- pick up keys with red band to get me into my office
pull into school- pick up keys with flashlight keychain to get me into my classroom
pull into off site work- pick up keys with the clip to get me in the office

Only today did I notice how much my life revolves around keys
attempted to put office keys into school lock (fail)
carried home key to my office then had to dig through my purse to correct this error

I have begun to pick up keys and hold them in my lap as I am driving so I know where I am going
office keys get the most fiddling with, red springy band allows me to fidget
school keys are the heaviest, key chain creates this problem, not the keys
off site work keys are the most convenient to carry (the clip) but there are many keys on this key chain that I don't know what they go to
home keys are the most valuable

When did I start carrying keys?  16 when I started driving.
Oh I long for the first 15 years where I could roam free without the responsibility of keys, well actually I would not trade those days for the ones I have now.

With keys, comes great responsibility.  They say, "I am trustworthy"  " I can be trusted to protect all that is inside these locked doors"

Keys have become an integral part of my life, locking and unlocking things as I choose.

Keep
Everything
You have
