If My Walls Could Talk...

I gave this prompt for a 5 minute quick write to my 5th graders. Here is what I wrote during that time about the walls in my house.

If my walls could talk they would say, "Mommy, dance with me!"

If my walls could talk they would say, "You have to ask nicely the first time."

If my walls could talk they would say, "No more Michael Jackson for the Wii!!"

If my walls could talk they would scream, "Stop playing baseball in the house!"

If my walls could talk they would say, "Yes, Connor you can fly like Peter Pan!"

If my walls could talk they would say, "Slow down Bridget and enjoy the moment. The rest of this stuff can wait."

If my walls could talk they would say, "Slow down Garrett. You are growing up too fast!"

If my walls could talk they would say, "Your boys are the cutest things ever!" (They really are. The walls don't lie!)

If my walls could talk they would say, "Lower your voice! Your baby brother is sleeping!"

If my walls could talk they would say, "It is OK if Connor turns into a chicken nugget!"

If my walls could talk they would say, "You don't have time to watch all of the shows that you DVR."

If my walls could talk they would say, "Don't worry. Connor will eventually have a decent bedtime routine."

If my walls could talk they would say, "I like being covered with little finger prints."

If my walls could talk they would say, "Your mom is very proud of you."
