Why am I home today?

I'm home today because it's career day. And I chose my mom and dad, I stayed with my dad first. My dad is a marine, so I got to watch what he does during the morning. And now I'm with my mom, and she is making me write on my blog on yo-yo's.

"Hey, do you like blogs or yo-yos?"

I want to Join a Yo Yo Contest

Hey have you ever been to a yo-yo contest? I'm good but I'm not going to try til I get a lot better. If you ever win one let me know. Hey if you're about to go to one, make sure you practice first.

Did you Know?

Did you know that a string of a yo-yo is not tied directly to the axle? I sure didn't.There is a lot of designs for a yo-yo too. Hey, it's a good thing they put string on it so we could play. Hey it's better than nothing.

Making a Yo-Yo

Yo-Yo Boy writes: If you have a box or two around the house, try making a yo yo. You will need the cardboard, string and a small pencil. Put them together and before you know it you'll have a yo-yo. Make one today.

Yo-Yo Momma:
Okay, for those of you that don't want to spend $5-$20 on a yo-yo you can actually create your own and save money. Using a piece of cardboard cut out two circles, these will be the sides of the yo-yo. Now, you'll need a really tiny pencil. You know the type that in school you'd shave down your pencil to a really small size? That's the size you need. Tie your string around the center of the pencil and roll it up. Now start practicing some yo-yo tricks.

Yo Yo in the News: Child gets Stabbed by a Store Clerk

Yo-Yo Mama and I, were reading an article about a teen boy that got stabbed for not purchasing a yo-yo. The boy claimed that the yo-yo was already out of the box, but he was playing with it. He didn't want to buy it since it was out of the box. When he was leaving the store the owner told him he had to buy it since he'd touched it. The boy refused to buy it and the clerk punched him, the boy still refused and the clerk stabbed him with a butcher knife.

Yo-Yo Mamma asked me, what the story taught me.

The story taught me not to touch anything in a store unless I was going to buy it. I definitely don't want stabbed.

Son says, "Keep that Yo-Yo going!"
