AFFIRMED

While going through the piles of papers my children bring home deciding whether or not to throw them away, I came across this little gem.  

 I was drawn into the story from the start.  But then I thought, did he really write this?  What is this?  Why is this written like my son came up with this awesome stuff?  

I tracked my son down and asked him what this story was and if he could have possibly written it. 

No, Mom, it's from a comic strip.  We had to make it into a story.

Did you get to choose you're own comic strip?

No, my teacher only printed one from the internet and we all did the same one.

This was your teachers idea?

Here's the original comic strip.  

As you can see, my son didn't really add much to the "story."  I still loved it though.

This teacher, I now AFFIRM, has been elevated to awesome teacher of the year- in my book.  She will be receiving a delicious apple dipped in carmel and chocolate goodness (from professionals that wont botch the execution) with a thank you note.  

Now I know she wasn't acting as a double agent when she told me that she hated the core that is now common.  How do I know this?  Because those that love the core are petrified of guns- even if they are water - and they most certainly don't want to acknowledge the 2nd amendment- even in jest.  Nor would tolerate a writing exercise involving the demon killing machines.  

It's a good day in the neighborhood :0)
