Daniel had an article due, finals coming up, a birthday party to attend, and a 5 page paper due this week. When his friends asked him if he wanted to join the cooking competition, he replied, "I can't, I've got bigger fish to fry."

After forgetting his textbook for the 10th time, Luis's teacher said, "I remind you everyday to bring your book. I feel like what I tell you goes in one ear and out the other."

This iPad has been so fun to use since I bought it. The only downside was this thing cost an arm and a leg.

Daniel's cooking teacher told the class, "Today we're all baking a chocolate cake. I want every cake to taste the same, but when it comes to decorating the cake, the ball is in your court."

When Luis was driving to school, he noticed a driver that kept switching lanes no matter who was in the lane. That driver was a real road hog.

Allison had to let her boss know she was quitting her job this week. She went into her boss's office and didn't beat around the bush, she told her right away she was quitting.

Luis said, "I don't like eating fast food because of how expensive it is. I only go out to eat once in a blue moon."

Allison was throwing a party for her friend Daniel. She sent out invites that said, "Surprise party this weekend. Daniel doesn't know so don't let the cat out of the bag before then!"

Even though it was raining and she didn't have an umbrella, Allison walked home from school. By the time she got home, she was soaking wet. The next day she asked her parents if she could stay home because she was feeling under the weather.

Luis stayed up all night writing the latest article for the front page. He worked on it all day and into the night. His friends saw him working and said, "Luis, you've been working nonstop. I think it's time you called it a day."

Allison heard her brother tell her friends an embarrassing story about Allison at the birthday party. She was so upset with him, she gave him the cold shoulder for the rest of the night.

Allison sat down in class, and had a serious face. She looked deep in thought. Her teacher asked, "A penny for your thoughts?"
