Mommy, how do I kill the tooth fairy?
I hated the tooth fairy. Okay, I still hate the tooth fairy. But I mean come on! A small, winged person comes into your room while you’re sleeping and exchanges a piece of your body for money. I’m pretty sure that’s only legal in Nevada.
When I first discovered this mythical creature, I was four, and had a newly loose tooth.
“The tooth fairy will be coming tonight,” my mother said.
Girl was lying to me; I did not believe one word that lying witch uttered.
So… I did what any normal four year old would do:
I broke into my parent's’ wallet and marked all of their dollar bills with a highlighter.
And guess what? I woke up with highlighted bill under my pillow. Who woulda thunk?
I ran into my parents bedroom screaming “I HAVE PROOF, I HAVE PROOF! THE TOOTH FAIRY IS FAKE AND YOU LIED TO ME!”
And I was right… and broke; never got another cent from the tooth fairy.
Yet, that fateful day, I learned the most important word of my life; my mother looked at me with a whimsical glance and said, “My curious boy.”
I don’t know why she talks like that.
But that word, curious, stuck with me. Curiosity instigates change, governs the governors. Yet, our curiosity is fading, and the consequences are evident. From indifference to stagnation, we aren't asking questions.
That’s just it, isn’t it? To question is to know, and knowledge is a prerequisite to informed decision making.
Therefore, it is necessary to examine our fading curiosity and its effects.
I desperately wanted to help her I wanted the woman who gave me life to be happy I wanted her to feel safe. One night I was sitting on my bed with a hot cup of nesquick. My mom was arguing with her boyfriend I decided to pick out a book that my uncle had left for me to read. It was One Fish , Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. It was my first time ever picking up this book and I wasn’t fluent in english at all so I had a lot of trouble getting through the book. This frustrated me a lot because I knew there had to be a meaning behind these combinations of letters. So I decided to take the book to school. I asked Mrs. Padron if she could help me read the book. She looked at me with an astonished look on her face. She hadn’t really received a request like that before from any of her other students ,but in spite of her confusion she still sat me down and we went through the entire book from cover to cover it took the entire lunch period but In the end I could finally get through at least 10 pgs which was more than I could ever read
Halloween. A holiday of spooky, scary, skeletons and a bunch of memes. It’s basically a holiday where you can go outside in cosplay and get free candy for it, provided that you aren’t busy to the point where you go home at about 6:00 PM and have to last-minute cancel your plans because of homework. (I’m still salty about that.) Regardless, Halloween has made its way to be one of my most favourite holidays. Now, I know what you may be thinking. “But Joyce! What about Christmas? It was literally about a month ago!” And, yes, while I do enjoy Christmas, Halloween is a holiday more after my heart.
Transition: With all holidays come celebrations, let’s talk about the festivities that helped shape Halloween today.
I was already asleep like a sack of potatoes so there was no way for me to be able to wake up that night since it was a very busy day at school that day and of us going out for a softball game. So apparently in the middle of the night when my sister was I were in bed our father came in and started to trade out the tooth for the money. He wasn’t careful enough which woke up my sister, even though then she wanted to keep quiet and let dad do what he was going to do posing as the tooth fairy. During the time I still believed in the Tooth Fairy and all that stuff but my sister was starting to realize that it was not real. So when she woke up it sealed the fact that the tooth fairy wasn't real for her even though she kept it a good secret from me since I was a little slow to realize that stuff, even though she did tell me about it years later after I realized that the tooth fairy was not real. So that is the story of how my disillusioned sister discovered the tooth fairy was not
On a lazy afternoon you can take a trip to Cannon beach and visit Haystack Rock.
She stood up quickly as soon as her mother made eye contact with her, an instant smile appeared on her mother’s face. Sadly, the same could not be said about her. Instead she looked frightened, perhaps, at least that was what she felt. It was

Ever since then, urban legends about razor blades, pins, and other horrible things appearing in candy have frightened parents everywhere into inspecting the candy their little ones bring home every Halloween night.
Therefore, the boy’s mother tries to instill hope through words. “You’ll find a woman. Yea, you’ll find love. And don’t forget son, there is someone up above.” Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” shows the boy’s mother telling him to have faith. A mother wanting a son to know that someone’s always watching over; the son will never be alone in the world. “Oh, be something you love and understand.” The mother teaches the son the importance of loving oneself for who you are and what you become. The son may not fully understand what the mother said at the time, but one day he will (Rossington & Van Zant,
In fact, curiosity and desire for explorations are necessary for situational interest to develop into a long-term interest (Woolfolk et al., 2017, p. 420). It introduces the importance of answering “curiosity questions”, a part of Renninger's four-phase model of interest. Curiosity questions can be any questions that help us organize our knowledge about a topic. It also introduces George Lowenstein’s theory that explains how curiosity arises when attention is focused on a gap in knowledge. This is similar to Piaget’s disequilibrium theory, where learners achieve knowledge (or equilibrium) through confusion and frustration from a gap in knowledge.

Have you ever wondered why there is dew on the grass in the summer? I’m gonna tell you a story that is going to help you understand the reason for the summer dew. A long time ago, there was a family of fairies who lived in a beautiful, mushroom home in a magical, faraway place called Fairyland. There were thousands of beautiful fairies flying all around in this magical land and each and every fairy had their very own daily job to do. Many different types of fairies existed in Fairyland including gardener fairies, teacher fairies, cleaning fairies, musical fairies, and many more. Fairyland was one of the most beautiful, magical, and happiest places on earth. The land was full of nothing but happiness, and lovely attitudes from each and every
People Without asking questions we will never move forward. When we ask good questions, we move forward to new understanding and produce new accomplishments.We must be willing to question the questions and we are asking to ensure we are asking appropriate questions to effectively address the issues we are facing. And, sometimes we need to ask ourselves why we are not asking more questions. We need to question why we are perhaps unwilling to question what is going on.Questions are the key to progress, growth, discovery, and innovation. We must address what truly needs to be addressed to ensure we create the most beneficial solutions
I open my eyes for the very first time. I’m in a strange white room. I’m looking up at Mom. Even though I’ve never known the word, or any word, I know it now. Who else could that lady be but Mom?
There are some annual events that are just too good to confine to a single day of the year. Birthdays, Christmas and Easter are all obvious examples, but what about Halloween? Seriously - is there any other day of the year that brings the world so much fun, transcends pretty much to all boundaries of age and lets us all take on a new persona just for the sheer hell of it? Of course not - that's why it's about time the fun of Halloween was tapped into all throughout the year.
