Gladiators

Hi people! 

I took a test today, and one of the questions was (and this isn't the exact question): what are Roman criminals forced to fight in an arena called? I answered gladiator, but gladiators are not just Roman criminals. Some were slaves, some were captured people, and some were criminals. The exact definition (dictionary.com) is: (in ancient Rome) a person, often a slave or captive, who was armed with a sword or other weapon and compelled to fight to the death in a public arena against another person or a wild animal, for the entertainment of the spectators. So, the test was incorrect in that manner. It makes me mad, because, in a book I read about Cleopatra (I don't know if that's right or not), Cleopatra rescued a captive from becoming a gladiator and used him as a guard and a friend. 

It's the great pumpkin, Petie Squirrel!

Happy Thanksgiving! And special Instagram note!

So, Pete is back, and it's worse than ever for L and her family. She carved pumpkins and put them out on the doorstep. Guess what Pete did! He started eating them! Now L's even more afraid of squirrels! 

Oh, and I have an Instagram! Follow me! @panda_bear012! It's on private, so follow me and I will follow back if you comment that you have read my blog!

Solve my mystery

I was bored, so I decided to write a mystery.

  Two young children were waiting with their babysitter for their parents to come home from a business dinner. They were watching Elmo on TV. The babysitter told them it was time for them to go to bed. The children did not want to go to bed, so they decided to play a prank on their babysitter. They would sneak down and turn on the TV when the babysitter wasn't looking, but the babysitter caught them. All of a sudden, the TV turned on. The babbysitter and the children were upstairs, and the parents were out. Their doors and windows were locked. How did the tv turn on? Solve this in the comment section.

XXOO,

Eve
