Ben was invited to a Writer's Breakfast at school this morning. 2 kids from each class attend and get a certificate and read their stories to the rest of the kids and their parents. He was very excited, and his story rocked.
Funny story..when I asked him what his story was about he said "it's about a war". So I'm cringing a bit, knowing how he likes the idea of army men, battles and the like. So I asked him what exactly about a war and he said the "war" he heard on his way home from the bus. Oh...ROAR. You'd think I'd catch those by now.
So yeah, it was about how he and T heard a giant roar and out ran whatever it was. (Very Lost-esqe). It was pretty long for a first grader. I got a comment from one a the dads saying it sounded like a 5th grader wrote it and how articulate he was. :) No, he was all about reading it up there. Very excited.
He was so darn cute. The combination of missing front teeth and no "r"s...I could just eat him up. If he doesn't outgrow the r thing this summer, I gotta look into speech next year, tho. It won't be cute in a couple years.
Reg. Obama's speech..I never knew those clear grey panels on either side of the podium in front of him were the teleprompters. Very cool. I pictured the old fashioned t.v. right in front of him, in front of a camera guy, like you've seen in the movies. Hey, at least I didn't picture a cue card guy.
For fun I was reading some comments from one of your old posts on your TH blog, R. I recommended Whale Rider back on March 21st of last year. Obviously you jumped right on that. gn

Golly, what a boring night on the telly. You people are supposed to entertain me with snarky comments about Obama's policies.
Roar..that's funny! I think he'll be a writer some day.
Re: Obama's speech. Every time this guy opens his mouth & talks economics, the market drops 200 pts.
There was a hearts thread?? :)

Did he work into his story; 'I did it. I'm Frost.'?
Waitn for S to finish watchin stupid Amer Idol so we can watch Lost.
Chompin at the bit!
I'm thinkin he shoulda done, Nestor!
Lost was interesting. I'm beginning to think the lucky ones didn't survive Oceanic flight 815. All those folks are gonna need some serious therapy.
SZtill haven't watched it. Fixin to go get girl, then..
So I guess you don't know that Locke dies. Doh! Hard to spoil something that's not going in chronological order.

Lost was awesome. Hafta say I didn't see Ben killn Locke comin.
Next week should tie it all together...
yeah, right.
No, I did not see that coming, either. Linus went from creepy but likable to sadistic in a hot minute.
Ben's always quite creepy. & don't trust Whitmore, he's just as bad. Still wonderin if Jack & Claire's dad is Jacob.
