For a laugh, read my last post...then THIS one

Here's Gameboy's dictation (given under duress) of his impressions from our Middleton Place field trip:

  Well, I got to milk the cow, I got to grind the corn, which was fun.  I got a stick that doesn’t break.  I liked the guy that made all that wood stuff.  And I got to grind rice in there.  We went to a mini-restaurant.  We got sodas and our friends got cookies and we got Doritos.  And there was fun games we could play there, like a game we played at Williamsburg where there’s a little ring and a stick, and you have to keep the ring going with a wood stick.

 And we saw two dolls put together and it was freaky.  There were two dresses, two heads and two arms, and you could pull the dress over the other one and you’ll only be able to see one doll.  But if you pull the dress back you can only see the other doll.  One had black skin and one had white skin.  And we saw a picture of a $2 bill.

 There was a church with about 3 big seats that was used by the slaves.  We went to a yarn-maker thing and a petting zoo and we saw bunnies with red eyes.  That was also freaky.  It looked like they were sleepy and they haven’t slept for months!  And there was a pottery-maker.

There were butterfly lakes also.  The reason why they were called the butterfly lakes is because they kind of looked like wings.  They had bumps like stairs and it looked fun to roll down, but if you did, you would get goose poop in your eye, and go….in the water!

 There was a 1000 year old oak tree.  It had branches that were on the ground and it looked fun to climb on, but it was illegal.  It was making me tired walking all around, but it was interesting.

 The end

I asked him to draw a picture to accompany this dictation, and he wanted to draw a Dorito.  Oy!

Hi Kim!

Thanks for the laughs. That post was hilarious! It reminded me of trips I used to take with my first and second graders as a school teacher. It seems they always focused on something like the lunch rather than the experience they were supposedly having. Ah, kids, huh?

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I got a chance to go back to the Gallery today and focus a bit more on Sunflowers. It had been very crowded on Sunday and I couldn't look closely. I also got to take in a 10 minute talk on another painting. This is a true luxury for me. If my children were here with me, I'm not so sure this could happen. =)

Loved what you told your kids about Van Gogh. I had never thought that today he could be medicated and live a happy life. That gives me happy thoughts.

Stop by my blog again soon!
Warmly,
Joni
