For those unawares, I tutor weekly at this place called 826 Chicago and this week I was managing the writing table, where kids come in and do a writing exercise before they start their homework. Because there is an upcoming Tom Hanks fundraiser on the horizon (it's called Prom Hanks), the kids were supposed to write life similes, a la "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."
I spent a long, torturous time coming up with examples for them (with assistance from my new friend potential).
Our best: Life is like a pirate ship because everyone is on the look-out for booty.
Kid bests:
-Life is like a math book because it's full of lots of problems, but some of the answers are in the back.
-Life is like a booger, totally gross.
-Life is like Lady Gaga because its style is always changing.
-Life is like pizza, you can put whatever you want on it.
