The World According to Mollie

Last night, Adrian and I read Mollie's 2nd grade journal from school.  I don't think I have laughed and cried so hard in a long time.  The entries were so sweet.  Her drawings were excellent.  She wrote about things she did on the weekends, about losing her dog Patches, about her family, and about her hopes and dreams.  It was inspiring to us to be able to get inside Mollie's head for a while.  She is so creative and funny.  Although, I must say we were a little bit embarrassed by some of the entries that her teacher probably read in school, such as "On the weekend I didn't do ennything.  I just watched a movie repetedly and played Zhu Zhu pets."  I wonder if her teacher thinks we are alcoholics who just let our precious daughter watch hours and hours of television.  How about  this one...

How You Can Show Your Respect by Mollie age 7
1. Keep hands and feet to your self.
2. Do not blert (blurt) out.
3. Do not tell someone a seacret (secret) in the middle of class.
4. Do not grab a hand full of marbles.

Rules That No One Cares About
1. Do not get out of your seat and shake your booty in front of the class.
2. Do not run around naked.
3. Do not run around in a beceni (bikini) drinking beer.
4. Do not get drunk in school.
5. Do not barf on some one.
6. Do not burp in some ones face.
7. Do not fart on some one.

And here are the reasons to follow the rules according to Mollie

Paches (Patches) by Mollie age 7 (This one made me cry)

Paches is my dog. She died. I miss her a lot. Before she had my family as a family another family did not like her one bit but paches is now ares (ours) still even thow (though) she is buryed in are back yard whith gorgus red flowers whith sinamin (Cinnamon) and Gigit. I feel like crying when I read this but it just won't come out.

(This one made me cry because I thought about my dad)

When I grow up I want to be a baby doctor so I can see lots of cute new borns and so I can help people and I'll enceroge (encourage) pecents (patients) if they have a seesection (C Section) and I'll be the nicest doctor so when I grow up you whold no longer call me Mollie. You whold call me Dr. Cutchshaw.

Here's her entry about her research project

I loved doing my research it was awsome. I lerned a lot about Jupiter and it is freezing cold on Jupiter and 1,000 Earths could fit in Jupiter. Jupiter is cool, fantastic, awsome, and amazing. It is the best planet in the world but Earth is a little better than Jupiter because if there was no Earth I wholdn't even egsist (exist) achuly (actually) no one whold egsist so Jupiter is my second favrit planet and Earth is my first favorit and I'd like to visit there once.

He was wered (weird) then a family saw me not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5. not 6. not 7, not 8, not 9 but 10 people were in the family so I jumped on 1 face at a time flapping my wings and then I would peck them till they cry and they never messed with me again.

Veteran's Day by Mollie age 7

Veteran's Day means a lot to me beacas my grandpa died in the army when I was a baby and my unkle died in the army befor I was born (I think Mollie is a bit confused how Adrian's dad and brother died) and my dad survived the army and people in the army even the nurses for the army helped our country becus the Verterans fight for our country then some one gets hurt he goes to the nurse and the nurse helps him to fight so then he fights for our country they even die for us they are very enportant.

I like to sing, play shef (chef), Bad side and Good side!, sing, dance, sing and dance at the same time, slide, chase, tag, transformers, and play cool/ famis (famous)/ hot/ populer girls.

Oh, I just love this little girl.  Reading her school journal was so much fun.  I wish I had time to share all the entries.  They are so precious.  Reading her ideas reminds me not to let go of my own imagination.  And of course, it reminds me not to run around in a bikini drinking beer in school and not to fart on any one.
