My Daughter's Autobiography

My fourth grader is writing her autobiography for a class assignment. And I get the job of typing it into the computer. You don't know how hard it was to keep from correcting the story! I had to type it exactly as she had written it, complete with misspelled words, very little punctuation, and incomplete sentences.

But I discovered a few jewels in this story.  Here are a few excerpts with her permission. My comments are in purple. The Kidlet's comments are in pink.

The dedication was my first surprise:

To my mom because she wrote The Gobblens Aprentic series and she taught me a lot about writing and edditing. Awww. . . .

Chapter One

My parents chose my name because if I got in trouble they could yell my full name. Too true . . .

Chapter Five

When my dad helped me do my bike he wouldn’t let me fall down but when my mom helped me she didn’t care if I fell so it helped me a lot. It wasn't that I didn't care, I did but it was time for a little tough love. Oh, yeah, right.

Chapter Eight

When I grow up I want to be a engener that invented the first flying car on bubble power that can hold a family of five. How cool is this?!  Sure do!

And last, but certainly the most touching.

Chapter Nine

If I was to go back in time and charge something from happening it would be my first dog (Katie) from getting stomic cansur and having to get put to sleep. *sniff, sniff*, ;-( Maggie's fun, but she's not Katie.

Later, Peeps!
