Memo from a third grader
Last week my wife and I received a memo from our son, Noah, who is set to turn ten next month. I think this was a school project, but I am not for sure on that yet. In his communication with us he is letting us know a few things:
1) He has already surpassed my ability to formulate an argument and defend his position.
2) I should stop worrying about him so much....
3) The Hulk remains a big draw for children.
Here it is in it's original format:
Dear Mom and Dad,
I, Noah Roedel think I should be allowed to stay up 30 extra minutes on the weekend. I would like to stay up and watch X-Men, because it has the Hulk guest staring in it, and he is my favorite. Also, I would like to eat a slice of cake. By staying up, I would have plenty of time to eat the whole piece by myself. Then of course I will need to get all of that sugar off of my teeth. Staying up later would give me plenty of time to brush my teeth. Please think hard about letting me stay up 30 minutes later on the weekend.
Love,
Noah
It was hard to argue with that.....Noah FTW!
