Skylar's new post about Jimmy

    Jimmy was a water bear. He didn’t care about much really. He was the type who could easily ignore just about anything and move on. Nuclear radiation? No big deal. The empty void of space? Not a problem.  Nothing seemed to bother Jimmy the water bear. Nothing except being called by the name Mr. Tardigrade. Being called by a scientific name was about the only thing Jimmy couldn’t ignore. It didn’t matter if he was swimming in the gigantic hot springs or freezing in the ice of Antarctica, he simply did not like being called a tardigrade. Instead of being angry at the name callers, he simply asked them to stop calling him that. And you know what?  They listened. They listened because they knew Jimmy was a nice guy. They listened because that is people do when a water bear speaks. One little hiccup and Jimmy went on with his microscopic life just as he always had. He swam and ate and he lived without fear.  Nobody could step on him because water bears can survive the pressure of 600 times our atmosphere. Pollution couldn’t bother him because he was toxin resistant. He was never hot and never cold. Life was perfect for Jimmy. He was a water bear, and water bears don’t care--as long as you don’t call them a tardigrade!

  3. Cool. It's cool how you have facts like the 'can survive the pressure of 600 times our atmosphere.' Good job.

  4. Give em' a hand! I really liked it. I thought it was funny how you were saying that he could survive almost anything and nothing bothered him. All I think you could do is make it longer, but other than that, I loved it.
