News Clips

“Did you see that clip about the school on TV this morning?” Sandy asked.

“What’s a clip?”

“It was about what they’re doing with lunch meals at Kaylynn.”

“They’re going to clip them?”

“No Randy, a ‘clip ‘is a little news story. It was about Kaylynn Elementary this morning.”

“Really? Our school? Where did you see it?”

“ON TV! I just said that!”

“Well, I never saw any ‘clip’ on our TV.”

“Well, what do you watch on TV?”

“Cartoons, kid shows, sometimes movies…”

“No news?”

“I don’t think so, what is ‘news’ on TV?

“It’s a show that tells us about what happened yesterday or what’s going to happen today… news…”

“There’s a show on TV that tells you things about here?”

“Yes! Don’t your parents ever watch the news? It’s on like at least three times a day. You can keep up with everything that’s going on around here today, real things.”

“Really? I thought TV was just for games and movies and stuff.”

“Well how do your parents find out about school and junk?”

“On their computers, or their watches and stuff.”

“Huh… I guess that’s good too… but I do like to watch the news. I don’t have news on my computer, just school stuff or games and stuff.”

“Me too! I didn’t even know you could get news on your computer. News… funny name huh.”

“I think it’s short for saying this is what’s ‘new’ today.”

“That makes sense… so what did it say to you that you were trying to tell me?”

“Crap, I forgot now!”

“That’s ok. I’m gonna find this ‘news’ thing on our tv, and maybe I’ll be telling you what it is tomorrow!”

Randy grew up, and became a well-known, and amazing reporter.

Sandy took all the credit. Of course.
