This week features a "Want Ad" for a big brother for Mme Miller's son, Ben. Be sure to note the great details she includes in her humorous advertisement!
Wanted: An Older Brother for Ben
An exciting part time opportunity in Edina, Minnesota! Adventure and giggles await the right candidate. Do you plot and scheme about the perfect move for your chess queen? Are you a Wii aficionado with a zest for Star Wars the Complete Saga? Could you merrily munch and sloppily slurp Davanni’s cheese bread, leftover non-nut Halloween candy, and gallons of chocolate milk for weeks on end? Does figuring out 2648 piece Lego creations make you grin? Then, consider applying for this very special, much appreciated, challenging position!!!
You must be very energetic—a typical day for this enthusiastic almost-seven-year-old could include a sweaty soccer game, a competitive game of Blokus, a trip with his mom to Hub Hobby to get some weights for a Pinewood Derby car, an hour in the kitchen creating homemade popovers with chocolate chips, 20 minutes of practicing “Soaring” on the piano, 15 minutes of chores (including emptying grimy garbage and picking up stained sweat pants) an hour devouring the newest Merlin Magic novel, a hour or two throwing a football or arguing about whose turn it is to use the swing with some nice neighbors and as much snuggling, huggling and ruggling with his mom as he will allow!
Although it would not be required, it would be helpful if you shared Ben’s passion for patterns with numbers and all things to do with math. Don’t know your times tables yet? Not to worry, Ben can teach you! Sudoku makes you squirm? Ben’s your boy to get you going!
You would not have to be entirely responsible for this little wild warrior (although his mother would appreciate a few hours to herself!) , just be there to play, to support and to laugh with this very lovable, very clever first grader.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, February 14, let’s celebrate friendship! Please write a want ad for what you consider a great friend. Include specific requirements that reflect your own interests and passions. Adore skating at Cornelia Park? Can’t get enough of Harry Potter? Make them “requirements” in your “job” description. Have fun! (Please write at least 75 words.)
Challenge: Use proper nouns when possible (i.e. Limited Too instead of "store", Hannah Montana’s hit instead of “music.”)
• As always, write and save your story in a word processing program first.
• Be sure to check it over for capitalization, punctuation and spelling.
• Don’t forget to include your first name and code (eg. Ben S1) so that you will receive credit for your work!

Wanted: a friend for Ben
If you like being a boy and playing on the Wii, then this is the job for you. IF you like playing and talking about baseball or about basketball or football or just talking about random stuff, then you will like this job. Do you like chicken nuggets and adore ice cream? Does watching the Boston Red Sox win the World Series make you feel like you are in heaven? Is your room filled with Star Wars Legos? Do you love watching Sports Center, MLB, NBA or the NFL? THEN I AM THE FRIEND FOR YOU!
My motto: Boys Rule
By: Ben FJ7
I like almost everything in my friends. I like the fact that my friends like to do almost everything I like to do. Like play tech-decks and snowboard and sled. My friends also like to BMX with me and do tricks on our scooters. In the summer my friends like to go tubing and ride the dirt bike at my cabin in Wisconsin. In the winter we like to go ice skating and do relay races and play games of hockey. With my friends we like to mess around and play with Anya my dog and when their parents are over for dinner we like to play ding dong ditch on the parents.

BROTHER WANTED
If you like collecting baseball cards, watching TV, talking about the latest trades any MLB team has offered, waking up late on school days, and waking up at 6 am on the weekends to play PS2, giving bear hugs to both cats, Tigger and Dakota, and barely finishing homework by the deadline, then you’re my type of guy. For a chance to apply for this very fun but mischievous job call 1-800-BE-MY-BRO.
Thank you very much

A10 year old kid that is very polite, active, loves to cook and has a ton of other interest and is looking for a new best friend.
These are the qualities I need in a friend. Someone that will stick up for me like I would for them, a friend that will not act like a “cool kid”, a companion that will go golfing with me, a pal that will take a couple shots at the soccer net with me and go to the pool to go swimming with me. In the winter I want a friend that will do a 1on1 game in hockey! If this sounds like you come over and shot some pucks and eat some pasta, see you then! Thomas j21

WANTED A BEST FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wanted a new BFF someone who enjoys art, reading books, listening to music, and singing. If that’s you, and you are interested in this job it’s yours. To be honest I must tell you the job comes with a really annoying brother. Here is sample of the activities we will do art projects, study, rock out, and possibly read 3 books. When we study I might ask to copy your work if you are already done and I am just starting. When we do art it will most likely be panting. The snacks after school will be healthy for example carrots, fruit, and salami. I forgot to mention occasionally we will make cookies.
IF THIS IS THE STUFF YOU LIKE SIGN UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
