Remember when we were in middle school and our teachers would make us play popcorn? Maybe you don't and my teacher was crazy...but this is popcorn: One person writes a sentence or paragraph, beginning the story. Then, he/she passes it on to another, who contributes a sentence or paragraph, and so on with as many people in the class. The last student, of course, writes the ending. It is a fun activity that makes for one kooky story. I thought it would be fun for those interested to join me in this 'game.'

I will be the first 'student' to write. For the next to collaborate, please build on this. For the person after him/her, please read his/her contribution and add to that...and so on.

"I come from a house crammed with 21 crazy Tumbles. My name is Carrie Tumble. I am the youngest out of 12 girls. There are 17 of us kids total. April-May June is the oldest child at 21 and Brayden Michael is the youngest. He is only 15 months. We live in an old barn, restored of course to be a suitable home, in the quiet state of New Hampshire. My grandparents, the craziest of the brood, moved in with us a year ago when grandpa Thermon started to see Indians."
