Follow your heart... or the yellow brick road

Humans have many goals and dreams and so do potatoes. Compared to humans, potatoes have a really short lifespan but that does not mean that they do not have things they want to achieve. Potatoes are quite optimistic and like to dream big even though they could be captured and eaten at any moment. Young potatoes have many dreams that constantly change just like human children do. One minute they might want to become a potato doctor and the next they might want to become a clown. As potatoes get older, many realize that what they really want is their own family so that they can enjoy their short lives with lots of other potatoes. There are so many potatoes around the world because many potatoes fulfil this dream. While there are lots of potatos that have goals in life, there are a few who have absolutely no idea what they want. Some fellow potatoes have noticed this and felt bad so they made it their goal to help others create goals. These are the motivational speaker potatoes. They like to go from farm to farm and talk to potatoes young and old and help them realize their full potential and the opportunities that lay ahead. These potatoes help others see that they can do so much even though they are potatoes and do not last very long. We humans also have people who speak to motivate us to set goals and work hard for them. One that we recently got to listen to was a rapper and he was quite inspiring. He told us that we should never give up and do what our heart wants. But if you don't really know what your heart wants I suggest you follow the yellow brick road, after all it worked well for Dorothy. You never know what kinds of being you'll meet and the adventures you'll experience so take a chance!

So potatoes we would love to know about your goals! Just contact us so we get to know more about what potatoes want to accomplish! 

mischievous lil potatoes

     Like in the human world, there is good and bad within the world of potatoes. There is evil lurking within the grounds of the farms. You have to beware of the rebellious potatoes. These potatoes are usually the ones who have gotten the disease (blob about mold). Other veggies try to convince moldy potatoes they have a cure for their disease, but honestly they are just lying to get information about the potato race and to have spies inside their enemy base.
    It's a tricky thing really. This is why the potato race is in danger. We feel like there will be an attack on the potatoes and we won't be able to help them. It's very stressful.
     The potatoes do their best to avoid having spies, they are very pesky and can usually get caught easily due to their size and texture. Finding a veggie spy on potato grounds is nearly impossible! Potatoes are not perfect (since we are half it explains why we aren't perfect humans :P ahaha we joking) so it's difficult to find a spy. Potatoes vary in sizes, texture (lumpiness) and colour. Potatoes live a difficult life trying to keep all their plans secret.
   
      If you hear or see a spy within the potato boundaries quickly alert potato-guards. They are like the police so to speak. Ways to report:**

Good Luck!

Turkey Day (Canada)

Happy turkey day! We know it is being celebrated in Canada today and soon in America. However, we don't know where else it is celebrated.

Just like the rest of our human friends we celebrate thanksgiving. We are half potatoes so we celebrate with potatoes as well.  The way potatoes celebrate thanksgiving is a little different. They make it a huge party. They are very thankful they got to live through the holiday. But it is also a time for grieving because of the loss of their family and friends. This is a difficult time for potatoes. Sometimes they are confused in whether they should party or grieve, so they make sure to do both. Potatoes honour the fallen ones. They share stories of the best memories they have with the potatoes that have just passed away. They also vow to protect the loved ones left behind by the fallen potatoes. Once they're done, they have a feast and they make sure that the favourite foods of the potatoes that are gone are there. Potatoes also play lots of games including everyone's favourite: sack racing.

This day reminds everyone that danger is very close by so they must always stay alert and they must not take things for granted because it is easy to lose everything. This is a very emotional day for potatoes and they must quickly compose themselves because just like humans, they too have school the next day.

Potatoes are concert addicts

We don't know if you've heard but, we potatoes absolutely love concerts! Potato concerts are really similar to human concerts. Potato concerts can be indoor or outdoor but it is usually outdoor since everyone loves the big space and fresh air. Some potatoes can get really crazy and try to attack others in order to meet their idol so the security guards are really important. The security guards tend to be large, hard potatoes since they are more physically capable. Some fans are less aggressive and admire their idols by throwing soil at them. This may seem a bit strange but keep in mind that potatoes live in soil so it is used as kind of like confetti. Sometimes potatoes get lucky and are able to meet the potato they came to watch the concert of. When this happens, the fans usually ask for an autograph on their skin. This is because it is permanent so they can keep it forever. It becomes kind of like a tattoo. But it does suck for those who realize after a while that they don't really care about the potato that signed them anymore. Most potatoes spend a lot on concerts and merchandise. A popular item sold at concerts are t-shirts, these t-shirts are usually kept as a display since potatoes aren't always dressed up. So you see, there are many similarities and some differences between potato and human concerts. Since we are half potato half humans we have experienced both and they are both great  but we hope to one day attend a concert with just half potato half humans!
