Marshmallow Streets and Worm Lips by: Celina Villatoro

If I could change anything about the world it would definitely be that nobody would cry anymore. There wouldn’t be any more reasons to cry and no one would be sad. This is a great idea and really needs to be done because crying is bad for us! First of all, we lose water when we cry. Our bodies are made up of a whopping 75 percent of water. When we cry tears, we lose some water and our bodies become sad just like our hearts. Next in line is the fact that tears have salt in them and when they fall down our cheeks they kind of burn them a little and make our cheeks red. This is really embarrassing because people will think we are wearing blush makeup. And also crying makes us sad so I think we might even not live as long if we were always happy. I am happy all the time mostly because my mommy and daddy and sisters and brother loves me and we laugh and have fun all the time. My dogs and my hamster love me too. This makes me happy but sometimes I hurt myself when I fall on my bike and sometimes my feelings get hurt so I cry and this is really bad for my heart and body and even my soul. So we must stop this from happening soon! First we have to figure out just why people cry. Mostly because they are sad or hurt. So we have to get rid of sad things and hurtful things. For instance if someone falls off their bike like I do sometimes then we have to make the streets softer so it won’t hurt. Like maybe make sidewalks and streets made out of marshmallows! And I know this would make bikes and cars sink a little so we would have to make bike and car tires made out of soft cotton. That would be great. Then we have to make people stop saying mean things to others. If a kid tries to make fun of another kid then his lips would turn into worms and he can’t talk! Don’t worry because his lips would turn back to normal in 12 seconds but that would totally freak him out and I bet you he would never try to make fun of a kid or say mean things again. Also there are kids who are hungry and have no place to sleep in this world. I would bring them all to my house. I have enough room I think but if not I can ask my mom to build extra rooms and I am sure she will do it for me because usually she can’t say no if I really ask a lot. I think most of all everyone should love everybody else. This would make everything so nice and we would all be happy. If you think you can’t show love to someone because you think you don’t like them you have to try anyway. Because trying to love someone really works and you feel better too! Love is really the best way to make people not sad or cry and also the marshmallow streets and worm lips would help a lot.
