Yamazaki Bread factory
I learned about dread. I saw a lot of bread. One man that makes the bread taught the class about bread. It smelled like bread. I was hungry. The teacher had to shoat.

My Best Friend
My best friend is Ken. I like him because he is kind to me. He likes me. Sometimes I sit with him when it is lunch time. I like Ken so much that I like to stay with him.

I wonder if my mom has any of the old stuff from when I was a kid. I know during one of my moves, I threw a ton of stuff away. The only incedent I really remember was when I was in preschool. I used to spell my name "Stehpen", instead of Stephen. There was a teacher who tried to tell me how spell it correctly and I thought she was being mean because who was she to tell me how to spell my name.

I found a precious "about me book" that my husband did in class when he was 9 (the kind of thing they do one ditto page of every day for a few weeks, then put them together for Back to School Night.) Under "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up", he wrote "A major-league baseball player, vet, husband and father." Under "A Picture of Something/Things I Like", he drew a tank and a dog (I don't think they were intended to be viewed as one picture!)

Listen, there's two things I have to help me get through this topsy-turvy world, and that's my tank, and my dog. My dog's name is tank. My tank? I call her Grace. Amazing Grace. Here, tank! It's supper time. I don't know where I'd be without my tank and my dog -- but I'll tell you one thing: I don't think I'd be playin' ball for the Twins. I ever tell you the story of how my tank and my dog got me this gig? No? Well I'll tell ya, it's a hell of a story.

That is adorable! It reminds me of the journal my first-grader started keeping over Christmas. He carried it everywhere and wrote down things as they were happening.
"Now we are in the car. We are going to Momo's house. Momo's house is full of people I don't know. Now we are watching a video."
It was cute and sort of scary. *grin

When I was about 7, I read the Little House books, and then I wrote this big long story in which I described my life and referred to myself in the third person (just like Laura does).

Not as good, but, you know, you have to read it!

Edited to add (from Wikipedia):
quote:Louise Fitzhugh wrote two sequels, The Long Secret and the posthumously published Sport. The book has also elicited two spin-off novels, Harriet Spies Again by Helen Ericson (2002), winner of a 2003 Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery, and Harriet the Spy, Double Agent by Maya Gold (2005).
I knew about The Long Secret, but it looks like Sport was also written by our Louise Fitzhugh, albeit published posthumously.

Actually, apparently, there are two. And they were re-issued a couple of years ago. *sighs and puts them on the request list at the library*
