Joe the Bad Kid

|

Joe was a 5 year old only child with gold, curly hair and red, green and blue sneakers who was about to start Kindergarten.  But there was one problem, he had the worst behavior ever and was completely crazy.  His mom, Allie Carson and his dad, Michael Carson could find no way to teach him to be good.  The September morning was the scariest morning in their lives.  The next day Joe started Kindergarten and Joe was still the worst kid ever.   Joe’s mom was talking to Joe’s dad when they heard a familiar order of sounds, aaaahhh, ahah, stomp, stomp, doing, doing, Mom!  The day had started and Joe had woken up. They spent that whole day trying to get Joe to be good, but he didn’t even listen.  He just sat with his sucker.  When they tried to explain things to him and when they told him to try to be good he just went crazy.  When it was finally time for bed, Joe was the only one who could sleep.   Then it happened.  Today was the first day of school.   Joe’s mom heard aaaahhh, ahah, stomp, stomp, doing, doing, crash Mom!  Here we go again.  Joe’s mom thought breakfast went by in seconds.  She packed Joe’s lunch and of course Joe stuck a cookie in it.  Joe threw on his backpack and went to school.  When Joe got there, he instantly thought play, play, play.  The school started as the teacher explained stuff like centers, lunch, recess and stuff like that.  Of course, Joe didn’t listen.  “Time for math” the teacher said, “Joe please solve 5+6 using the strategy I just showed you.”  “Sing the ABC’s” was Joe’s response.  Then the teacher told another person to bring Joe to the office.  “Probably because I did such a good job” Joe thought.  When they got there the principle boomed “what did he do?”  He was being silly and not paying attention in class the person answered.  “No!”  Joe said feeling tiny and offended.  “Quiet” the principle boomed.  The principle began to lecture and seemed to go on for hours and Joe fell asleep.  Not that the principle noticed.  “Do you understand?” the principle suddenly said.  Joe woke up.  “Sure, but when do I get my reward?” was Joe’s response. The principle’s face turned bright red and he turned to talk on the phone.  Funny, Joe noticed the number the principle dialed looked like his phone number.  Then his parents came to pick him up.    Joe’s parents told Joe that he would have a babysitter for a few days.  “Why?” Joe asked.  “It’s a surprise” they answered.  Joe instantly started planning how to make the babysitter scream.  The babysitter came and Joe’s mom and dad left.  The next few days past quickly and badly.  Then Joe’s mom and dad said they were on their way home.  “Finally” Joe thought.  He spent the rest of the day watching shows like 101 Dalmatians, Harry Potter and Indiana Jones.  Then it happened.  Joe’s mom and dad got there with a small pink bundle.  They sat on the couch.  “Did you get a dog?” Joe asked.  “No, something better” they answered.  They unrolled the bundle.  “Meet Rosa” they said.  If we are good, Rosa will learn to be good too.  After that, Joe tried so hard to be a good role model for his sister his behavior changed completely and was Joe the good kid.
