Mm, I love to eat my sculpting clay!

So I was sitting at the computer today, and my brother Aidan was behind me eating candy. Suddenly he starts unwrapping a tootsie roll, and he suddenly starts molding the stuff into different shapes. "It's not clay!" I said, a little disgusted that he was rolling around this tootsie roll, getting his hands all sticky. "Yes it is," he said, and started making a dinosaur. He used nerds for the eyes. He then smooshed that and added another tootsie roll to the mix. He made two balls, and decided to make a snowman. Once it was finished, orange tootsie roll nose and all (like a carrot,) we both said at the same time: "That really looks like a bird." so he added wings and some feet. After that, I decided to look up if anyone else had thought of sculpting tootsie rolls, like maybe professionals or something. A professional tootsie roll artist seemed a bit far fetched, but hey, people do all sorts of crazy things these days. So I found this blog that was really cool, with all these tootsie roll pieces of art. I was like, "this blog is awesome!" so you should check it out. I can't believe it's almost thanksgiving. That's kinda scary to think about, because that means we're going into the holiday season. Doesn't it seem like we just did all that? And the holiday season means that 2008 is almost already over. I know what I'm gonna say on New Year's eve: this year went by so quickly! It turns out that 12 months really isn't that long a period of time. Till later! Lucia
