What I Want To Be When I Grow Up …

Posted on April 27th, 2007 in Family by Fred McKinnon

Hey Everyone,

This could make me cry just typing it. I’d take a picture, but it probably woudn’t show up very well. Joy had “parent-teacher” conference this AM with Jon Michael’s Kingergarter teacher. Looks like ole’ sporty will be graduating to 1st Grade. As we suspected, he got glowing reviews. Mrs. King sent Joy home with his “writing” work from 4/25. It has 3 pictures at the top – all ‘stick figures’ – one is doing .. well, I dunno. The middle one looks like he’s directing a band, and there is music notes over his head. The third is a stick person playing a piano. Then, the good part. I’ll type it exactly as he wrote it and put in [brackets] where you may need some help understanding Kindergarten 101:

Wen I grow up I wot to be a ofice wrcre [worker] and a pastor and a wrshep leadr. Wen I am a wrshep Ledr I wel pactic [practice] for a bennd. [band] Wen I am a … [worship leader] I am going to pras the lord ech day. Wen I am a office wrcr I wel mac [make, unless maybe he's thinking Apple Mac!] manney [money] for my famlle.

Jon Michael

Somebody pass me a Kleenex.

    That’s great. He’s gonna be a worship pastor to praise the Lord and an office worker to make money!!! Priceless!

    That is a smart little lamb! As a homeschooling kindergarten, third, and fourth grade teacher this year I can testify that his writing is great! Keep it up Jon Michael!
