Out of the Mouths of Babes

Excerpts from letters written to me by students on the first day of school:

*My Mom's name is....She works in the navy and so dose my dad. My dad is bald he has no hair...

*My family is a big group of people...

*I am 11 years old I am also in 6th grade. I love writing. I am also lacotse intolerant...

*I have the two nicest parents in the world. They are really friendly and I'm proud to say they are my Parents...

*There are some things I forgot to mention. First, I write my own songs. Second, I sing like a girl. That's me, for ya.

*My mom's name is Terri she has liver cancer and previously had breast cancer. She is not working...

*My sister likes to study. My dad likes to work. My mom likes to clean up the house.

*Well I use to be getting in a lot of trouble but now I am not which I am really proud of.

*My dad had to go to jail so I have been in a foster home for 6 or more years. It was really hard for me and I have 18 brothers and sisters and I don't know where my mom is and I do not like her at all. My dad died around Christmas. It was really hard. I moved with my Auntie 3 months ago...

*My great grandfather was in the navy. My grandmother makes hats. My Aunt Kim has diabetes at age 31 (with no wrinkles).
