Delia’s Dull Day

Hi there! My name is Delia, and I want to tell you about my day yesterday. Can you guess what happened? Well, let me give you a hint: nothing exciting at all! Let me tell you all about it.

Morning Routine

Yesterday morning, I had breakfast, and guess what? I spilled some milk! Oops! After that, I walked past the same 16 houses I see every day on my way to the bus stop. Nothing special happened there.

School Time

The bus ride to school was as boring as ever. In math class with Mrs. Houston, I almost fell asleep! Recess wasn’t any better; it was dull, dull, dull.

Lunchtime Adventures

At lunch, my Jello squares fell right into my chicken noodle soup. What a mess! In band class, I played “Yankee Doodle” over and over again. It felt like I played it 2,000 times!

Afternoon Activities

During swim class, the only thing that happened was getting water in my right ear. On my bike ride home, a dog barked at me. That was the most exciting thing all day!

Evening and Bedtime

Later, I watched “Mars Invaders 3” for the 21st time. When it was time for bed, I put on my pajamas and brushed my teeth. Nothing exciting happened then, and of course, nothing happens when I’m sleeping.

Looking Forward to Today

Now you see how boring my day was! Maybe something fun will happen to me today. I hope so!

**Books: Dilia’s Dull Day**
An incredibly boring story by Andy Meyer

My name is Dilia. You’ll never guess what happened to me yesterday. Give up? I’ll give you a hint: that’s right, nothing. Nothing ever happens to me. Just look at my day yesterday. Nothing happened during my breakfast except I spilled some milk. Oops! I walked past the same 16 houses I pass every day on my way to the bus stop. Did anything interesting happen? No.

And the bus ride to school was boring as usual. I almost fell asleep in Mrs. Houston’s math class. Mrs. Houston, we have a problem! Recess was dull, dull, dull.

At lunch, my Jello squares fell into my chicken noodle soup. In band, I played “Yankee Doodle” 2,000 times. Pretty interesting, huh? Nothing was new at swim class except I got water in my right ear. Big news from my bike ride: a dog barked at me.

I watched “Mars Invaders 3” for the 21st time. Nope, nothing happened when I put on my pajamas and brushed my teeth. And of course, nothing ever happens when I’m sleeping.

Now do you see how completely boring my life is? Maybe something will happen to me today.
