I am seriously obsessed with having my kids write journal entries. It's maybe the best thing ever. The sweet and nurturing teacher in me says it's great because I can find out a lot about them and their hearts. The person who always needs a laugh in me says it's great because it's hilarious. More so the latter.
Journal Prompt:
What are you doing over spring break?
Over spring break, I will have to go shopping. I know it sounds kind of girlish, but I gotta get a tux for the dance. (Yes. 8th grade dance is that big of a deal. tuxes...limos...we know no bounds) I'll play a lot of basketball and I'll watch it too on t.v. Although it's really not interesting anymore since the best team alive, North Carolina, is out. (Dern straight they're out. I used to really like this kid...now I'm rethinking it...) I might play some paintball, but I'll also be texting a lot. You know, when you don't see your girlfriend for a long time, they get mad if you don't text them. (Poor guy...so young and so whipped). But it's okay, I like texting her. (I get really curious as to how involved these texts get sometimes...I mean...it's so arbitrary...We're texting...ABOUT WHAT???) If I still have time, I might get Other Student to come over and ride 4-wheelers.
I think this adequately sums up the life of a middle school boy. Basketball. Texting. Girls. 4-Wheelers.
Quite a life to lead.
