Tonight was the reading "Grown ups read things they wrote as kids" and man, was it a hoot and a holler!
Subjects ranged from lamentations on girlhood, exclusion, candy thieving janitors, sewer adventures, cats, hitting puberty, and my favorite, a nine-year old's elaborate list of ways to kill time on an 8 hour trans-Atlantic flight.
Although most people showed up merely as spectators, the selection of folks who did read really shed some light on the wonderful, ridiculous and perplexing thing that is a child's brain!
Even Julien brought in some sweet comix he wrote as a wee one...that boy was born to work at D+Q! Come ask him nicely and maybe he'll show you a peek.
