through the eyes of a nine year old

Recently I loaded up the back of my van with cardboard boxes unearthed from the bottomless pit of my mom's downstairs closet. They were filled with my old school work, journals and doo-dads in storage from my childhood. A treasure trove. And a bit embarrassing at times. I would like to brew up some coffee and dive into some of my journal entries for the afternoon but unfortunately I have too much remaining work in the barn. However, I would like to share this snippet that caught my eye. A brief glimpse into the mysterious depths of a nine year old's brain...

Day #4

Today is violin lesson's. It's Tuesday. I like Mrs. Mallenger a lot. Don't you!? Yesterday I did a article about octopuses! They're really neat! I'm still thinking and wondering what people think, and animals. My feet are very cold. Swimming lessons are going great! Last week we dove in the deepend! It's fun exept for the water coming up my nose! Bye!
Oh! I got a new bag! It's really nice. I have it here with me. Annie still kind of has the cough.

Don't worry, despite this dire prognosis my sister Annie is still alive and well. And I still wonder what people think. And animals.
