Audience: Was intended for children, but after picking the topic, its general.

Okay so, I tried my best. It is very boring and makes absolutely no sense but I guess this is what I came up with based on my constraints.

The teacher screeches the chalk on the blackboard. He diagrams the family tree of Abraham, something that I have learned since I was a little kid. His voice is very monotone, yet appealing when he gets very excited. It’s been about a half an hour now and I can feel myself starting to daydream. I start to lose focus on what he is saying. I am a college student. My attention span is short, but I think I can still remember at least some things that people say to me. I still attend Sunday school to help teach the little kids at our local church. I grew up in a religious family, so when I see these little kids, I see myself as well. You can tell that they are bored, and like most children, they have been forced to attend Sunday school to hopefully prepare them for what they will encounter in life. Their ages range around five or six, so they do not understand the significance of why they are here. They would much rather jump inside a kiddie pool and play outside in the lovely summer weather.

Speaking of kiddie pools, I just became an uncle about 2 years ago, and my brother got my niece, Anna, a little kiddie pool this past weekend. I am on summer vacation and my parent’s house is not so far from his. Every since my break started, we would eat lunch and spend time together every weekend. My niece is very cute. She is well raised and unlike other babies, she doesn’t cry as much; which is surprising since my brother was a big cry baby even when he’s older than me. I remember when I left for college at Virginia Tech; which was about 5 hours away. He couldn’t stop bawling his eyes out because I was the first to actually attend a prestigious university. My bother only attended a community college and the furthest he has gone was 10 miles away from our house.

Anyway, so this past weekend, I went over to his house and he had a kiddie pool set up. The water came up to my ankles and the pool itself was made up with inflatables. There were little beach toys lying around, so I am guessing he was trying to come up with a “beach setting”, but obviously it failed since this pool was in his backyard. I went over to play with my little niece, but then all of a sudden, a rabbit came in to the backyard and…

“Alex? Alex? Can you please pass out the worksheets?”
