santa, baby? dotty was a baby?
Check it, yo.
At Christmas I went to my parent's house and I went through three not-so-big boxes of stuff from school. I threw away two not-so-big boxes, and kept one. The contents of the boxes had, of course, been shuffled to suit my needs and desires as far as archival Dotty P stuff goes.
I found three Carder Koalaty (Why not koality?) journals from when I was eight.
Eight!
I shall share with you some of my more pithy observations.
Here's my opening entry. All spelling variants are included for your reading pleasure.
September 5
My name is DottyParker. I am 8 years old. I live with my mother PTAMom my father Dr.Dad. My older brother AngerTrain and my younger brother BellyRub. I really like to eat sweets. My favorite instrament is piano. My favorite T.V. show is Little House on the Prarieie. I like to play soccer and ride bikes.
Some things I might like to write about are:
Piano Lessons
Mr. Hamon[the principal]
How School was
How Day was
How the weather is
Animales that I've seen.
To illustrate my desire to stick to my plan, witness September 6.
Today looks pretty warm but its pretty chilly. Today we had gym. Mr. Bush our gym teacher told us things that we learned in kindergarden.
Wow! Resentful little snot! Just like this grown up little snot! Yeah! Don't tell me what to do! I already know.
I think I was six or seven in this picture.
And here comes some more. (Background is that Mrs. Ore was the cafeteria monitor and she had a microphone to tell us to behave.)
Sept. 6th.
Today I just got to use a third grade math book. Today Mrs. Ore was really talking. That dumb micriphone makes me sick. Mr. Hamon was in the cafitiria and someone through food.
Sept. 7
Today alot of people have gotten yelled at and we've only had an hour of scool yesterday Lark came over and we flew kites. Right now I'm in group I and reading book Growing.
Such a fabulously me childhood so far.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
