valentine’s sentiments from the bee

February 13, 2008 at 8:41 pm (thoughtful parenting)

Yesterday, the Bee brought home the following essay:

I have a little brother who turned four on August 11. His name is [redacted] and let me tell you something, the day he was born I knew the new baby was going to be a pain. Well I turned out to be right, he is. He doesn’t even go away when I asked him to. And something else, he’s a crybaby. Sometimes he cries when I poke him playfully. I want to get rid of him, but whenever I mention this to my parents they say no.

You can feel the love, dripping off the page.

And the teacher’s comment?

Try working on great openings and endings! This was good and well-written.

Sigh….
