You must read my 10yo's sentences. Written for punishment, written with...

[Guest Dulcimeramy]

glee. This happened on Tuesday, but I didn't check his folder until tonight. I pulled the paper out, began to check it over from top to bottom, noticed how his spelling in #11, and began to laugh until I cried. I couldn't even read the rest of it until I caught my breath, but of course, it only got worse.

 

(What he'd done: Stolen my only scissors that still cut fabric, and used them on cardboard. He knows the rules. This is not a new concept, but he couldn't find all the scissors he's ruined on cardboard already so he took them. Also, he swiped my Sharpie.)

#13 is my favorite. This boy is a handful! He resembles Opie Taylor, including sticky-out ears and freckles across his nose, so he gets away with everything!

[Forget-Me-Not]

:lol: I think he deserves extra credit for using a word like "purloin" at 10 years old!

[Daisy]

That's hilarious!

[KidsHappen]

I think you might possibly have a creative writer on your hands there but you definitely have a smart @ss. ;) I love #13 & #14! :lol: I bet it is hard to teach him with a straight face sometimes. I can so relate. :001_smile:

[anneofalamo]

oh thank you for sharing this! I had no idea what it was about and caught me so unaware! I loved your son's ingenuity, and my analytical 14 year old boy would so enjoy his humor too!

[Kirch]

:lol: #14 cracked me up!

[extendedforecast]

#14 is the one that got me cracking up. Cute kid.

I'd save that paper, and second extra credit for the use of purloining in #14.

 

 

PS...I Totally get the sewing scissors, mine are off-limits for safety and territorial reasons.

I love him. Can I have him???

Oh, wait...I already have his twin...red hair, freckles and ears...:rofl::rofl:

[The Girls' Mom]

That is hilarious!

 

I so sympathize on the scissors. I have several pair, now squirreled away in my desk drawer, that have MOM scrawled across the handles in big letters...so at least when they purloin them they have a constant reminder of whose scissors they are snitching.

[nukeswife]

#13 and 14 have me laughing out loud!

[Wyndie]

Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard I cried. BEST sentences EVER! :lol:

[OregonNative]

:smilielol5:

[woolybear]

That is hysterical!:lol:

[kwickimom]

:lol::lol::lol: hilarious!!!!!

[Remudamom]

Those are great.

[Guest Dulcimeramy]

:lol: Thanks, all! Where else could I share :lol:

 

I think you might possibly have a creative writer on your hands there but you definitely have a smart @ss. ;) I love #13 & #14! I bet it is hard to teach him with a straight face sometimes. I can so relate. :001_smile:

 

And that pretty much sums it up, you are so right!

[Miss Peregrine]

:lol: He's a keeper!

[In the Rain]

:lol: Dh was impressed that he used purloin correctly.

[Dawn in OH]

Lol! I like #14. :)

 

 

Me too!

 

But I'm a bit disturbed now, because there is no way on Earth my 9 1/2 year old could spell purloining or possessions.

[ktwensel]

:smilielol5:Your son provided a much needed laugh today.

 

Thanks for sharing!

[mcconnellboys]

Yeah, I'd warn him that I'm saving all such things to use for blackmail when he's older, LOL.....

[Pretty in Pink]

You've got to hang onto that and share it with him when he is older. How funny!

[HRAAB]

That is hilarious. It's a keeper.

[jujsky]

13 & 14 are my favorites! :lol::lol::lol:

 

I'm going to have to make hubby write this out too! He used my beautiful, new fabric scissors on paper today when I was out :glare: The kids told him I don't allow those scissors to be used on anything except fabric. He should have listened to them!

[Teachin'Mine]

:lol: A natural comedian and his "timing" is perfect!!! :lol:

[*Inna*]

:lol::lol::lol: Love #13 and 14!:lol::lol::lol:

[knit247]

That was beyond funny! Thanks for sharing that :D
