If I was taller than 9 feet that would be awesome. I would be able to dunk a basketball. In fact I would need I really tall basket ball hoop. It would have to be specially made.

Driving would be hard too. I would be too big for the car. I would have to drive a really big car. Plus I would hit my head on every door I go through.

I would have so many bruises. I might even get a concussion. That would stink. I would even have a big bed. I wish I could be that tall.

My life wouldn’t be that much different. Besides bigger cloths and a bigger car and house but besides all of that nothing would really change. I would be in a lot of sports I can tell you that. I would even try to join football.

I would be the best athlete ever! I would just be an abnormally tall one. But I would be o.k. with it. I’m sure no boy would want to go out with a girl that’s taller then him though, that would be a problem. But o-well it would be part of life.

I wonder how big my feet would be, or how big would my hands be? I wonder if I would be able to hold 2 basketballs in one hand, I’ve always wanted to do that. Now I kind of want to be that tall!

If I was 9 feet tall, I would LOVE it. I would be like a giant. That would be so cool. It would be fun having people look up to me like I’m weird or something.

That sounds like fun. Now I wish I was that tall. The hard part would be driving though. I don’t think any car would be able to fit me in it. They would have to make the biggest car in the world, and maybe make the doors a little bit bigger.

I would love being this tall. It would be amazing. I would be able to scare people, and crush buildings at night when people ARE NOT in them. I would have a blast. They would also have to make a house, bed, couch, clothes, and shoes to fit my size too!

If I was taller then 9” it would be bad! How would you drive? How would you NOT hit your head? How would you deal with people looking at you weirdly? Could you live like that?
My normal day would probably stay home all day and sleep or watch TV or just stay in my room! Going places would be really hard! If I had to go somewhere I would ask someone else to do it for me. Or else I would walk somewhere to get it unless there was this one car that was big enough for a really tall person.

People would probably think that being taller then 9” would mean that you’re good at basketball. Well I’m not good at basketball…….I am far from good at basketball. I would play it or I could coach a team but I can’t play! Being that tall would really be bad!

If I was the tallest women in the world I would just lay down all day. My bed would probable to small. That would be uncomfortable to lay on that would hurt. It would be hard to take a shower.

How would I fit through a door and fit in a car? If I would go through a door I would have a big bump on my head that would hurt. Well if I had long legs I could take big steps so I would not have to drive a car. I would be saving the earth by not polluting the air.

I really like to save the earth so by not polluting the air I will be saving the earth. That will make me happy. We all should be the tallest in the world so we don’t have to use cars. That will be the coolest thing ever.

So I’ll start at the beginning…. It was a really rainy night, and my parents told me that I needed to go to bed early, because I was crabby. (This is typical, because I’m usually always crabby.) So instead of arguing I decided that I would just go to bed. I sat up for about an hour just because I wasn’t really that tired when there was a bright flash outside of my window.

I tried to run out my door, but I couldn’t I was like nine feet tall. This is really strange for me, because I’m only four foot nine. So I had to duck and when I went downstairs my parents were so shocked they thought someone had broken into our house. They ended up calling the cops, and then I had to explain everything. But that’s not even the worst part.

The worst part was when I got up for school. I was so tired, because I couldn’t fit in my bed. And when I tried to get on the bus I couldn’t, and I had to ride in the box of my dad’s truck. It was terrible. Then when I got to school everybody was staring at me. I felt so out of place. And of course, because I don’t fit in the bus my dad had to come get me. I hate being tall!!!!!!!

So the moral of this story is that if your short and you wish your tall… you’re probably not going to like the outcome.

If I was the tallest man on the earth I don’t know what I would do. I would not be able to fit in a car. I would probably have to get a limo and lay down in the back seat. I would not like it.

I would probably have a lot of people looking at me weird. Would wake up in the morning and brush my teeth. Then I would go out side my house and have to duck through doors. Then I would get in my limo and go to work.

Then I would go home after work and have to duck trough more doors. Then I would go to my kitchen then I would make dinner and eat it. Then I would brush my teeth. Then I would go to bed then I would do the same thing the next day.

It was a wet and cold day. There was a slit breeze. The sun was nice and high. I woke up and it was 9:30 A.M.

My feet were hanging off my bed. I was amazed in how much I had grown in one night. I got up and went to go look in the mirror and I hit my head on my fan. I stumbled to the ground.

I got up and went to go eat some breakfast. I was walking into the room and I hit my head on another fan. This time I didn’t fall but the fan fell to the floor. It was horrible being that tall.

Hmm I wonder what life would be like. I think it world stink because you would have to duck every time you want to go in a different room. Well I’m the tallest one in the family but I don’t think I’m going to 8 feet tall. I wonder if I would have to get custom made cloths.

If I got custom made cloths it would be AWSEOME because I will cloths that other people do not. I wonder what my shoe size would be. I would have to drive a semi to work every day because I can’t fit in a car or truck. It would be awesome to drive a semi every day but semis are gas drinkers. They only get like 12 miles to the gallon.

I think it would sweet if I lived in a giant house because I am so tall. If I was that tall I think I would make a good basketball player. I bet I would be so good that I could play for the Miami heat. Then my basketball number will be # 23. I want it to be 23 because that was LeBron James old number. He had that number when he played for Cleveland.

My typical day would be hitting my head on exit signs. I would have such a big bump you wouldn’t even imagine how big it is. It would hurt so bad I would be taking Motrin 4 times a day!! Everybody would say, “How do you go through life with that big of a bump?”

I would say, “I take Motrin 4 times a day. I even play basketball; now talk about how much it hurts after that.” I earn a lot of $ but I spend a lot of $ on my Motrin. It cost me about $200 a year!!

It takes a lot out of me spending that much. A lot of people feel bad for me so they give me money. That really helps me out. It helps with buying groceries.

My day would be really weird! First i would get out of bed. Then I would have breakfast. After that I would go to school.

I would have an exciting day at school. I would go to math, then miss. horstman's room. I would finish the day then go home.

At home I would go get a snack, then clean my room. i would wait for supper, then eat it. Then i would go to sleep. Then do it all over again.

If I was taller than the tallest guy on earth than that guy wouldn’t be the tallest guy on earth. I would be the tallest guy on earth. I would have to be taller than 9 feet in order to be taller than the tallest guy on earth. I wonder if the tallest guy on earth is still alive.

If I was the tallest guy on earth I wouldn’t have to use a ladder as much. It would be cool to be the tallest guy in medical history. Even though the short people would probably make fun of you. That’s one thing bad about being tall. If a short person calls you tall then nobody cares ,but if you call them short bag the kick you and if you hit kick them back everybody makes a big deal out of it because you just kick a short person that had “ no way of defending themselves against a super tall person.”

I would have to duck more to get under door ways and probably hallways or small buildings. I already have to duck to go down the basement steps at my house so I don’t hit my head. I also have to duck going upstairs. I would probably hit by head more than I do now. Being extremely tall will probably make me twice as clumsy as I already am.
