Today's Writing Prompt

I've mentioned before that Kellen gets a daily writing prompt from Writing Fix as part of his school day. This was the prompt today, "Write about a monument you wish you could build to honor someone you know or knew. What would it be made out of?"

Kellen's response:
A person that deserves a monument is Mom. She puts up with four kids, a farm, and a part time job. It should look like her, though slightly skinnier. It would be made of titanium, and be solid, mounted on cast iron. It would stand at least 500 years.

It was all good until "slightly skinnier." Thanks Kellen, I think......

  4. Oh, Kellen just probably knows that Stephanie would like to be skinnier! Or maybe even that most women would--he is pretty smart, you know.

  5. The fact that he thinks you are made of such solid materials impresses me. Seems like he understands a little about how strong mothers have to be.

  11. I've enjoyed looking through your blog! I was homeschooled growing up, and it's always encouraging to see other people homeschooling successfully!

    Thanks!
