My mom just sent me this excerpt from a family Christmas letter:
"[Kerry] is constantly writing, although she is only in Kindergarten." He then says: "She spells strictly phonetically. For example: "I am sary," or "wy nyd a baby bessing." Marty said, "It's nice to find notes saying, "I love you dadee."" He also says, "We play a math game, I say a string of problems like 3 plus 7 take away 4 take away 2 double that, now what's that equal? She gets 4 out of 5 right."
Wha' happened, people?!
Okay, you lured me back with your parasite comment. What the heck?!
ReplyDeleteIs this about you as a kid? That's funny I was really into phonetic spellings as a kid too... and I grew up a writer. Not the kind that gets money for it, but a writer no less.
ReplyDeleteYou claim a loss of intelligence. Balogna!
ReplyDeleteYou still love to write - thus this blog, not to mention a recent writing award.
As for math - name me one other English major, bachelor, masters, or doctor that has a minor in math!
Love "dadee"
oh! you're the holy grail!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou're the writer we've waited for, who doesn't apologize for liking math too!!!
i'm thrilled! :)e
