going through Aidan's papers

My first grader comes home with a. lot. of. paper.  Inevitably, there's a daily pile left on the couch or table or floor each morning as he re-sorts his backpack.  I quickly sift through, keep what needs keeping, but toss most of it. 

I was about to toss this one, but then actually stopped to read the sentences.  Which were alarming.  Nevermind the poor spelling and handwriting, look what happens in my son's brain when he has to write his own sentences with these four words:  babies, parties, stories, ladies.

The "I have stories in my underwear" is alarming, but a typical Aidan shock statement.  My real worry is in the next line.  The one with double exclamation marks. 

I officially have two boys who get positively dreamy about beautiful women.  2 out of 2.  Ages 6 and 5.  It seems like this shouldn't happen until 14 at the earliest.  Aren't all females supposed to have cooties at this stage?!

What to do?

Perhaps he meant "out in the sunshine" hot? :) Maybe Davynova has just worn off on him.

I totally love reading these vocabulary word sentence assignments. In first grade Emerson wrote, "Girl, you huge." for the word huge. We about died. It's so funny to me to see what their little minds come up with.

I am at a loss. But if you figure out what to do about it, let me know. I'm just a couple years behind you on this issue I'm sure. Shock factor and all, it's still pretty darn cute.

Oh so funny! I can hardly wait for Ryley's revelations.

[Tiffany]

Too, too funny! Do the teachers just roll around laughing all day? I guess there has to be something to make up for teaching a big group of little kids. :) What a boy!

I'm liking Kelly's "hot" suggestion. After all, those ladies are at a park in Arizona!

[Leilani]

Bet the teacher got a kick out of those!! I sure did.

The secret lives of children! My 6-year-old nephew said something about a lady being hot last summer. For the next several weeks, all of the kids were repeating that phrase. Maybe he just heard someone else say it? Fun sentences, anyway!

That baby is so cute! 6 months comes way too fast. Her hair is a lot darker than I thought it was.

And I loved your SPT picture. The goings-on in the background made it perfect!

[Mandi]

That's hilarious and a total keeper!

On the first day of grade one, Carter was excitedly telling me about his wonderful day, and finished his review with, "And my teacher is even beautiful!"

I think we are in trouble, you and I.

[Summer]

That is hilarious!!!! And I love that he knew to use TWO exclamation points. That meant he REALLY MEANT what he said. Watch out for the Scott boys!

[Jill S.]

Hilarious! Did you ask him about this? I'm very curious about him having stories in his underwear, yikes!

Whitney always had a load of papers in her backpack too and I don't think she'd ever clean them out without my encouragement. I like to look at them all to see what she has written and to see the pictures she has drawn because I love to find little bits like you did here. I scan them and put them in a Smugmug gallery then put the papers in the recycling bin.

Amy - Maddy, Becca and I just spent a good 25 minutes laughing and "ooooohhhing" and "awwwing" over your wonderfully entertaining and beautiful blog! I'm SO glad that Aiden loves fat babies, that's how they all should be (except for your Azure, of course!) And I'm really glad that Aiden likes hot ladies - b/c it makes me feel better about my parenting ---- Becca comments on Justin Beiber's "hotness" at least 20 times a day... Hopefully, "hot" is the new "cute."
Sure miss you - guess what? I'm finally in YW!!! - I'm the Mia Maid Adivsor - this Sunday will be my first day in YW EVER!!! So excited :)
Talk soon-

I could not help but laugh! When my now 10 year old was in first grade all the girls in his class were in LOVE with him! They were even calling him on the phone. That was very alarming to me. At least he wasn't asking to borrow the car and $20!

[Price Cream Parlor]

Brace yourself. That's all I will say. Tyler had girls calling him in kindergarten. I wondered if their parents knew or encouraged them to call. Oh my!!!

Love the writing. Fun you thought to take a photo of that!! He will love that later!!! I am impressed at his writing!!! So fun...

[Shanon]

Good luck!!!

I just read a paper of Sam's (7) who wrote about a leprechaun living in his underwear who fell out when he used the toilet and accidentally was flushed down. I was simultaneously delighted and disturbed.

Looks like you've got some Casanovas on your hands:)

HA! This is hilarious.

I usually cull through all of Eva's papers and keep only my very favorites, but she found one in the trash the other day and said, "Mom! How could you?!" Oops.
