Scary Hairy by the children of the CDC

Scary Hairy
By: The CDC children as told to Miss Hope:
Scary Hairy isn't very scary. He lives near our kitchen and cooks shrimp for dinner. He needs huge shrimp and huge plates. He plays with toys and plays with playdough. He cuts, cuts,cuts it. Sometimes he eats it. Then he takes a shower and goes to sleep. He sleeps with a night light in the bathroom. When we leave school he tries to eat bugs. After he eats them his belly gets full and his tummy hurts cuz his belly is so full and he has a tummy ache and he gets sick. He has to go to the hospital. When we get to the hospital there is a monster nurse and a monster doctor.They give him shots and a flu shot cuz he caught a cold at school. He takes a nap cuz they have a cot his size. We bring him back when he feels better. He's back near the kitchen. When he wakes up he makes pancakes for breakfast. And they were this big!
