Ideas

Adults are strange.

They do weird things like ‘garden’. They also ignore their phone when it rings.

They have ideas about how to act, what to eat, where to go and why you can’t have chocolate for breakfast.

They like reading, going to bed early and hotels with no swimming pools.

They eat salad and fish, and their idea of a good time is going to get coffee.

I mean come on.

I, on the other hand, have great ideas. My Food Transformer idea is world changing and my Back to Life Potion would be on every shelf. I just need to figure out how to make them.

It’s time management really. School, sports and chores keep me pretty busy. Last week, I also helped an ant colony in our backyard build a bridge and saved a caterpillar from getting crunched by the lawn mower. The battle with the giant squirrels took some time too because my rocket launcher wasn’t working very well.

Needless to say, there aren’t enough hours in the day for everything, but I hope to have my ideas come to fruition soon.

I can tell you about them.

Don’t tell anyone else though, I wouldn’t want my ideas stolen. Someone’s already stolen my flying car idea.

My first idea is The Food Transformer. I’ll lay it out for you.

There would be two versions. The first version is more difficult as it would require a doctor’s help to make it. That reminds me, I need to start interviewing doctors and checking on their qualifications.

Anyway, picture this: Dinner is chicken and broccoli. The chicken is ok, I can choke that down, but I’d rather go get coffee with my parents, than eat broccoli.

So, there would be this thing. I think it would work better hidden under your shirt, but that may not be totally necessary. It’s a tube, the size of like a toilet paper roll, that attaches to an opening in your belly button. (Hence needing the doctor…to insert the belly button thing).

You put the piece of broccoli in the tube. The Food Transformer then ‘transforms’ it into tiny pixels, and it goes directly into your stomach. You don’t have to taste it. Right?! How cool would that be? I mean…Bruh.

The second version would be The Food Transformer II. It would be even better, because it wouldn’t have the belly button thing. You would just put food in the tube, and it would make the bad thing taste good. Your broccoli could taste like strawberry or mango but still look like broccoli. I think there’s something similar in that movie with Willy Wonka, but I’m not sure. I’m not going to say it’s a stolen idea, although it might be. But no one’s made it yet so I’m taking it.

So that’s just one of my great ideas. I have more.

I wish there was a way to make video games come to life, or to teleport anywhere you want.

I would teleport everywhere. No more mom driving me to school, no more dad driving me to hockey. I wouldn’t have to listen to mom’s music or hear people honking at dad for not using his turn signal.

I wish fish could talk.

I also wish I didn’t need sleep. I would stay up all the time so I wouldn’t miss anything.

I have another idea that’s impressive even by my standards. My idea for a Back to Life Potion.

It might be more of a wish than an idea. I also may have seen it in a movie, but I don’t remember which one. Usually something like that is in Halloween movies, you know, with witches. A witches’ potion (insert evil cackling). But my potion would be good, not evil. It’s really what it sounds like, and I think everyone would want it.

But I need to figure out the formula.

Formulas are very specific, and I would need different formulas for different things like animals. I think each animal would need specific things in their potions. I mean, you wouldn’t put pine needles in a potion for a snake or use crickets in a potion for a rabbit. The cow potion wouldn’t have olives, and the zebra potion wouldn’t have garlic. I mean, that’s just basic chemistry.

Take dogs for example. The dog one would be a very important Back to Life potion, don’t you agree? I mean no one needs a potion for spiders or scorpions, but definitely for dogs.

I think the dog formula would have dirt, sticks, fish scales, mud and bones. Also maybe grass, mushrooms and tree bark.

The one for cats would have mouse heads (obviously), bird feathers and catnip. I mean that’s an easy one.

Some other easy ones would be the hummingbird potion (sugar water), the horse potion (carrots and apples), and the squirrel potion (pinecones).

The one for tigers would have peanut butter and chicken feet. The giraffe one would have flowers and apricots. And the elephant potion would have pineapple.

But the main one would be for humans.

Because if someone you know dies, you want them to come back to life.

I would give it to everyone I know.

The ingredients would be tricky and there would be a lot of them. Humans are so different from one another. What works for one, may not work for another. Some people only eat meat so their potion couldn’t have vegetables, and other people only eat vegetables, so theirs couldn’t have meat. What if someone’s formula had eggs in it and they were allergic to eggs? So many things to think about. Some potions would need orange juice while others would need cranberry juice.

But I think there would be a base human formula and then I would build off that.

The basic ingredients for the human Back to Life potion would be:

Grape juice

Chocolate

Parts of a frog (because that was in a movie)

Flower Petals

Sugar (because everyone likes sugar)

Cinnamon

Eye of Newt (I’m not sure what that is, but it’s from a movie too)

And coffee.

It would definitely have coffee.
