Aug. 27, 2009 - Funny things I used to write when I was younger.
The other day when Emily and I were moving our stuff to our new room, (more about that later) and going through ancient boxes that hadn't been opened in years, we came across a very interesting little book full of Celestial Seasonings coloring pages. On the front it said:

I had some recollection of this, so we opened it up and inside we found a hilarious story about a lion written by 8 year old me. So here it is:
*Ahem*
Journal of a Sentimental Lion Abroad
August 10
As I, Leo, King of the Jungle, sit here drinking my Vanilla Red tea, I think that if only my lioness were here, I could share the beauty of the zebras drinking, the gazelles grazing, and the giraffes, who have extremely long necks. If only my lioness were here.
Ho hum.
Dear Leona,
I cannot ezpress to you how satisfying it has been to have been able to get out of a den filled from front to back with cubs. It is very pleasant here. I have but one comlaint, that is, I need your company.
But of course, I am kept busy when on a safari. But still, safaris need to be shared. As I have said, it is very agreeable here. Your Vanilla Red tea adds so much to that agreeableness. I will be back on September 25 and I will be happy to see you. Perhaps some time, when the cubs are grown, you can come with me on a trip such as this.
All My love,
King Leo
I am weary because of my exertions in fast swimming. I fear I am not a good swimmer.
