Today’s Humour

By Etan Shohet Nguyen

You know how with Covid everything is closed? For most kids with long hair it’s torture because their parents cut their hair and in my case, my dad practically sheared my head off! It REALLY stinks having to have my dad cut my hair! Never ask him for a haircut. COVID STINKS (so do my dad’s haircuts)!!!! Also, when the black lives matter protests started the officers are SO aggressive and now the U.S is in chaos. First of all, it has the most Covid cases on earth, and second of all now people are either getting killed or badly injured because BLACK LIVES MATTER!!! And it's pretty sad for me because basically the only thing I eat is rice and beans, rice and beans, toast! So yeah, if you say your Covid experiences are bad, look on the bright side! At least it's not as bad as mine! But if you want something to do, READ, READ, READ!!! Reading for me kind of takes me out of earth and sends me into the book! So if you're bored or whatnot, totally READ (and if you're me, NEVER ask your parents for a haircut)!!! Oh the pain! My 6 inch strands of hair have divided by 3! And for the food! You think your food is boring? In 1 week I would have black beans cooked with corn, carrots, and peas with basmati rice, red beans with white rice, corn, and cheese. Oh yeah, and I forgot! Chili with cannellini beans, pinto beans, red beans, kidney beans, pink beans, and rice! And I’ve eaten chickpeas and potatoes, and hummus. As for the rice, japanese sticky rice (which is good for sushi), Thai/Vietnamese rice AKA jasmine rice, basmati rice (for indian food) and medium or long grained brown rice. Except if I’m really lucky, I could have some take out Indian food twice per month! And there you have it! The sad story of life and death (also the sad story of papa chopping off my hair)!!
