FBLA members,

Drop, Lock, and Bake will be

this Saturday

at Food Fair.

Please remember to have

your three baked goods,

the signup sheet is on

Miss Eld's door.

Have a great day.

Let's win!

Let's go, let's win!

Let's go!

Let's fight!

People around town,

they walk towards us

or walk past us

with their nose

fifty miles in the air

acting like their sh*t

don't stink.

And acting like

they're better than us.

And I don't fall for that.

We're not trash.

We're good people.

Anything could trigger me.

The smallest slightest thing

you'd think wouldn't

trigger most people

will trigger me.

I think people expect me

to do good things

and have a better future

than I do right now.

I don't even know

what to do anymore.

Origin in childhood,

A's by love of parents,

family ties are treasured things

and far through we may,

um, youth?

Something?

Be tender, but our bonds

with those we love

still pull our hearts

toward home.

Yeah, I think someone

just wrote that on there

'cause they didn't know

how to spell.

No.

See, they didn't know

how to spell.

See, look, see,

leaven or "yoth",

"you oath."

Remain youth, wait.

And family heir and elicit.

Stop it!

You're gonna make me fall,

I'm gonna pop your back.

We lived in Rich Hill

then we moved to Branson

then to Ridgedale,

back to Rich Hill

then to Belton, wasn't it?

Mhmm.

And moved again

from Belton to Granby then...

Don't forget Lathrop.

I know.

And then from Granby to Raymore,

then to Lathrop,

then back to Raymore,

and then to Appleton City,

back here,

then moved again, well,

in the same town,

but, yeah.

Oh, wait, I forgot

to mention that land.

The Ozarks.

Yeah, the Ozarks.

Oh, and then we moved

to Margie's for a week.

Oh, yeah.

Are you a little baby?

You're not doing it right.

It's like, are you,

I can't do it.

Are you a little baby?

Are you a little baby?

He's like, "Yeah, I think I am".

Mom.

Are you a little titty baby?

No, you didn't do it right!

Are you a little titty baby?

No.

Okay, the first line,

"if I die young" sounds

pretty bad, okay?

Okay.

If I die young

Bury me inside

Lay me down

on a bed of roses

See me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the water

Sing our song

My mom, she wants to

get out here

and do things with us,

but she can't

'cause of her problems.

And, I mean, I miss her.

I wish that she, you know,

could actually do

the things that she wanted.

That's sweet.

I mean, my dad,

he's almost the same way,

but he just ignores it

and goes on with his day.

And, I mean, I know

I wouldn't be able

to live without

my parents, so far.

I'm still their little baby,

their little angel or whatever

they wanna call it.

That's right, you two

are my babies.

Yeah.

I really do love my mom

and my dad

and my sister.

The important thing

about Appachey,

it's not really a poem,

it's just a biography,

the important thing

about Appachey

is he loves to skate,

he's competitive

and he likes to skate.

He's competitive, cool,

he likes to skate,

hang out and play ball.

He loves animals,

especially turtles

and he loves his boards

because every one of them

has a story of how he got them.

The important thing

about Appachey is that

he loves to skate.

Stupid ass assignment.

Don't know what the f***

that is.

My dad left when I was six.

Just walked out.

Didn't even say bye.

I woke up in the middle

of the night and he was gone.

He never came back.

Get up.

This is what happens

when Mom goes to work.

You are so lucky you did not

hit me with that.

Your cuteness have reached

its limit for the day,

knock it off.

AD/HD, bipolar, OCD, ODD.

That's all of them.

I think.

Now they're looking in

to see if he has Aspergers.

And he's not compliant

with medication,

so I don't know if medication

would actually help him or not

'cause he doesn't take it right.

And at 13 years old I'm not

gonna hold him down

and shove it down his throat.

It's a choice if he

wants help or not,

it's all up to him.

Oh, reading Patrick

a bedtime story, I see.

"Snail Tales",

that's a good one.

"Snail Tales"?

I thought it was called

now, now, now.

It's "Kung Fu Panda:

Legends of Awesomeness"

up next on Nick.

I bet my hair's

all poofed up, ain't it?

I use a lot of water

so you might wanna stand back

with your equipment.

I'm very easy to make mad.

Actually, that one there.

I don't have

something like that.

That one's $14.

I take pills for it now.

Ten bucks, it's nice.

But like, I'll be

fighting with somebody,

next minute I don't even know

what I'm fighting about.

I'm pretty sure

I don't got no money.

How old are you?

I'm 15.

Yeah, I couldn't sell it

unless you're 18.

Have to be someone 18 buy it.

I had money in here

the other day.

I must have spent it

on Burger King or something

'cause I remember

eating Burger King.

You have to borrow some money

from somebody.

Right now my mom's in prison.

She's been in since July so...

July, August, September,

October, November, December,

January, February, March,

so about nine months.

Yeah.

Mom's not with it, I had the

rest of my teeth pulled today.

You had the rest

of your teeth pulled?

Yeah.

And how many was that?

Eight.

Now it hurts really bad.

Yup, I won't be getting

my teeth pulled.

Just hang it to, just hang it

to a door

and have somebody else

pull on the other end.

Negative.

I'm being recorded

and you're being recorded.

You know how I'm being recorded?

Because every call you make

I'm recorded on.

But this time you're

being recorded by my people.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Have sweet dreams.

You, too.

- Bye.

- Bye.

The caller has hung up.

Okay.

I always gotta wait for

"the caller has hung up."

That way I know she has hung up.

But, yup, that's what it's like

talking to my mom.

I work with my dad.

I make 20 bucks a day

whenever I work a full day.

He does oddball jobs and stuff.

Right here is the garden

we've been working on.

And, I mean,

it's still a work in progress,

everything is, basically.

Hear that lonesome

whippoorwill

It sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train

Is whining low

I'm so lonesome I could cry

Pretty much just

dumping the water in it.

But just can't bump that iron,

it's gotta set real easy.

Take an electric skillet,

put it over there

and heat it up quick,

it's like five minutes,

you got hot water.

See, that one's steaming now,

that's almost good enough.

Put a little water in that tub.

Then the coffee pot.

And by the time this one's done,

that one will be ready to go.

It's steaming now so it's ready.

Take the whole thing in there.

When you're in a place

where there's no work

and you can't pay the bills

and it gets shut off

you learn to survive,

the survival.

There's other people

waiting to take a bath.

One minute.

Minute's up, move.

Go.

All right.

Get that bath,

get that ass washed, boy.

You're ready for

your next school day.

I don't know why
