Lullaby #15

Helen Hoover Boyle and Carl Streater are still driving along with Mona and Oyster. It turns out that Oyster has a little scam going on. He publishes ads in a bunch of papers saying that if people have gotten a rash or sick from eating or going to popular places then they should call his cell phone. It's not explained why he does this, but I think he's pretending to be a lawyer or something and just getting money from these people who probably are lying just like him.

How to Survive a Plane Crash

Despite what most people believe, it's really likely that you'll survive a plane crash. People think that everyone dies in a plane crash because in the most tragic/infamous crashes, everyone did die. In the recent Hudson plane crash, everyone came out alive. Also, most people panic and freak out when they don't know what to do. So, these are the steps that people should follow to live:
1. Try and sit within 5 rows of an exit.
2. Follow the safety instructions and plan out what you're going to do in case of an emergency.
3. Focus on what the plane is doing the first 3 minutes of flight and last 8 minutes of landing.
4. Relax because it's a one in a million chance that you're going to be in a crash.

Man Demands His Divorced Wife to Pay for Kidney #13

A man in New York wants his ex-wife to pay for a kidney he donated to her. Dr. Richard Batista said he'd settle for $1.5 million as compensation. After their divorce, he hasn't been able to see his children. He says that he has no regret in donating his kidney to her, he just regrets that their marriage failed 4 years after the donation. She filed for divorce, saying she had an eighteen month affair with someone else. That's so terrible, it seems that she just took advantage of him knowing that he'd give her his kidney since he loved her and they were married. Then once the surgery was over, she decided to just come clean and file for divorce.

4 Year Old Boy Shoots Babysitter #12

A four year old boy in Ohio shot his babysitter with a shotgun! Police said that the babysitter accidentally stepped on the boy's foot. So he went into the closet, grabbed the shotgun and shot him out of anger. Other teenagers were babysitting children at a mobile home when the four year old shot Nathan Beavers. Beavers has been hospitalized with pellet wounds in his arm and side. One other babysitter was injured with shotgun pellet wounds. I don't even understand how the boy was able to use a shotgun, they're huge...he's four years old. It doesn't make sense. The boy hasn't even been charged, what if he had killed the sitter? I don't think it matters if he's four, that kid has serious issues and should have anger management.

Boy, 6, misses bus so he tries driving to school #11

In Virginia, a six year old boy missed his school bus one morning. Instead of going home and calling his mom, the logical choice. He decided to take his family's sedan for a little joyride to school while his mom was inside the house sleeping. He didn't get very far though. He apparantly ran off the road several times until he eventually ran into an embankment and an utility pole. He wasn't even wearing a seatbelt. Luckilly, he suffered only from minor injuries but he could've totally died. The police are still investigating it though. I think the mom will probably get charged with something since she allowed her son to just go outside and wait for the bus alone when he's only six years old.

Man's Last Lottery Ticket Wins $10 Million for Widow #10

She has no idea what she's going to do with the money yet, but it won't solve her grieving of her deceased husband.

Lullaby: Outside Reading Quarter 2 #9

Helen Hoover Boyle's assitant is named Mona Sabbat. She told Helen that she heard about culling tales before, and that they're meant to be read to old people who want to be taken out of their misery peacefully. Interested, Helen is more friendly to Mona so she can find out more of what she knows. Mona invites Helen to a get together she has at her house. Not wanting to go alone, Helen brings Carl Streater to the party. All of the people there are Wiccan and they are very strict vegans. Everyone calls themselves by an animal name instead of their normal names so Carl and Helen feel very uncomfortable there. They also meet Mona's boyfriend, Oyster. He has really long blonde hair and is a Wiccan like Mona and all their friends. After a while at the party, everyone gets naked and start saying prayers. Helen and Carl feel even more uncomfortable, and keep their clothing on and start drinking.

Lullaby: Outside Reading Quarter 2 #8

In Carl Streater's search to destroy every copy of the deathly song, he and Helen Hoover Boyle go to a young woman's house who checked out the book at the public library. They told the woman that they were offering free makeovers. Inside the house was an empty crib and a stack full of books. Poems and Rhymes Around the World was on the top of the shelf. They suspected that the woman must have read the poem on page 12 to her baby, and the next morning found it dead. Carl Streater tore the page up, crumpled it up, and put it in his pocket. Helen packed up her makeup kit and told the woman they were finished, now that she looked like a clown.
