I am thankful for the notes and homework that I get to read on a regular basis. Some of it makes my day. Liam's is from some work he did in school. Notice he forgot to put his name on it...not unusual...and what is up with his teacher spelling his name wrong?! Also notice the lack of capitalization...also not unusual. However, I think his teacher had a hard time grading this one harshly when 1) it is hilarious, and 2) he included an illustration of lice. I believe the assignment was to write about what qualities a good presidential candidate might possess. Some potentially relevant background info is that during that week, lice was going around his class. In case you can't read his spelling, I will translate:
To be a good candidate. You can't brag. Or go like, "Oh, I'm just so going to win." And you can't put up posters that say "Lincoln had head lice, you don't want him touching the Declaration." That is being a bad candidate.
Well, I suppose he has a point. And the picture of the head lice in between some hairs does drive the point home. ha ha ha Liam is more of a math and science guy, but I do enjoy reading his writing.
Natalie's note was one of her MANY random notes that she wrote at home. Most of her notes are for me, and that makes me feel very lucky.
Her translation:
