It's elementary

I've been going through some old papers of mine from grade school, and I recently ran across some "stories" I wrote in second grade. Since these represent my nascence as a writer, I thought I'd post of few of them here. Here they are, without corrections:

If I Were a Hostage in Iran

If I were a Hostage I would collect bugs on Sunday. On Monday I would get exercise. On Tuesday I would write to my family. Wednesday I would collect frogs. Thursday I would catch worms. Friday I would go fishing. Saturday I would play with my friends. I would sleep on the floor every night. I would drink milk and eat the same thing every night I would eat tacos.

If I Were a Stamp

If I were a stamp on an envelope this is what I would do. I would go into the mailbox intill the mailman came to pick me up. I visited the post office. I visited Mississippi. I visited the dump. Then I was burned up. And that was end of me. Never be a stamp on an envelope.

My brother comments, "Sounds like being a hostage is WAY better than being a postage stamp - although that may not be true depending on what Iranian tacos taste like."
