Ella wrote an opinion piece about eating corn on the cob. Lots of people like to eat corn on the cob at a picnic, but I’m not one of them! For one thing, it is much too messy. First, the corn always gets stuck in my teeth. Then, the butter drips down my arm. Another reason I don’t like it is because it’s hard to balance on a paper plate. Mine always rolls off right into the dirt!
