my weekend
on Friday I woke up and remembered that I was going to my dads this weekend and when I got there I was surprised . I was surprised because my dad had gotten a new dog. He had found her on the porch of his Friends house and quickly took her in and named her honey. The next day I woke up yo find that we were going to a monster truck show. When we got there it took a long time to park so we missed an hour of the show.

I am most like Hermes because he can fly and I have always wanted to fly and he pranks people like me. He is a messenger for the gods,and a guide for the dead to the underworld. Poseidon is also kind of like me because he mostly stays in the water and I love water just like Poseidon. Athena is the god of domestic arts and I am really creative. I am always thinking of ideas for all kinds of crafts. I AM ANDREW AND I AM LIKE SOME GODS BYE!!!!!!!!!
