Tommy's Newspaper

Tommy wrote a newspaper. Okay... that might be a strong word for it. But he called it that. He was inspired by the PBS show "Martha Speaks". He wanted me to "put it on Facebook". Sadly, my computer that is hooked up to the scanner bit the dust when the power went out over Christmas vacation. So... I can't show you his hard work. But... I will write the text (as he wrote it). As you will see, this was a very hard hitting journal that really got to the heart of society's ills. Ahem.

I have to say, as a former teacher of small people, I am impressed with the variety of his sentence structure. Obviously he's not John Irving or Margret Atwood, but I'm thinking when he starts writing "real" pieces for school at least his teacher won't want to put a gun to her head because all his sentences start the same way. (The gun will go to her head for a million OTHER reasons... but at least his writing won't bore her to suicide!)
