– “How was your day, darling?”
– “Bad, mom!”
– “Really? I thought you were going on a field trip?”
– “We did! Our teacher took us to see a forest with weird twisted trees.”
– “So?”
– “Back in school before leaving, she asked us to say something about the written forest so I said that the trees were shaped like letters because that’s where the Sesame Street characters grew up and she gave me a zero.”
– “But baby, it’s spelled WRITHEN! I’m sure she explained that.”
– “Maybe while I was climbing …
-murmured – … I’m sure Mrs Wright lives there, in that dark forest, wicked witch!”

Definitive Lapse of Reason 
I love it. Very realistic portrayal of the way a child might misinterpret it.
Thank you R.E. As a dad, you have the experience background to appreciate it, right? If my own son would have been the protagonist, chances are that at that age, he wouldn’t have listened either. Kudos for your Gravatar picture BTW’ it fits your Aspie status and is refreshingly subdued in this selfie-sh era!
Good day to you & yours, Tay.
Oh dear – I sense a few more troubles at that student’s door over the next few years! I enjoyed this – it was good fun!
Indeed, rebel without a clue is a dangerous set-up! 😎
Oh, well! He’s fictional so … 🙂
Glad you liked it and welcome Freya, Tay.
I think imagining the Sesame Street characters growing up there is excellent! Good writing! Nan 🙂
LOL and I just re-used them in today’s post on the US Congress. Maybe I miss my childhood’s TV?
TY gentle Nan, Tay.

Same back, young lady! 😉 Tay.
Haha don’t you just love kids? Ingenious 🙂 loved it.
Ahhhhh, the return of sexy thang! We’re you busy with exams last week? If so, I hope these went well! And thanks, Cam, that lady in the picture gave me the feeling of a student “left behind”. Although my hero is not dumb, so it’s more like left straying 😀
Have yourself a great day, Tay.
Last week was actually the week after spring break, no exams just classes but thank you all the same. 🙂 oh I see her now, I never noticed that there was someone in the picture lol.
Have a great day too.
Dear Tay,
I guess I get bad marks for being tardy on my comment. I seem to have missed a few last week. At any rate, your story is as imaginative as your 8 year old’s report. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Quite a coincidence, huh?
😉
Peace and thanks, Tay.
