The One Where I Get My Ideas From

People ask me where I get my blog ideas from (by people I mean my brother)

and some say I live in my own world to think of such ideas.

Well I must disclaim, I don't 'think' of such blog ideas,they sort of just happen to be my life. Second-maybe I do see life through my own eyes,in my own world. Which is fine by me.

See when I was a child,maybe about six or seven years old,we used to be given essays to write every Monday by Miss June, entitled,"What I did over the Weekend".

 

We were allowed to add illustrations if need be and you know how I'm all about the illustrations! So I particularly enjoyed my little 40 minute moment of essay writing, and often wrote what I really,genuinely did over the weekend:

My weekend was fun!  I did my homework on Friday. Saturday morning I woke up bright en early en brushed my teeth. Then I opened my closet which had my toybox in it.

I entered the toybox en slid down down down through the trapdoor en into my secret world called Candy Land.

  

Dexter en Deedee of Dexters lab met me,en I ran off with them into the sparkly forest.

From there I climbed the magic rollercoaster en had my lunch with them of jawbreakers. I also performed many experiments in Dexters lab that turned me in to Deedees twin. 

After that I went into the elevator en shot back up in to my room,where my auntie was shouting at me because of my messy room. On Sunday I went to church en on Monday I am in school.

THE END!

Sadly, Miss June also included her own form of the essay for me.

My weekend was fun! I did my homework on 

Good,glad to know you did your homework,Gathoni!

 Why did you repeat the word down 3 times, Gathoni. Use it only once!

 Who are these and where did they meet you? There is no such thing as a sparkly forest, Gathoni.

Remember to use 'and' instead of 'en'-SP

THE END!

	Miss June often gave me back my marks that afternoon with a 4/10 grade-good writing but not true. NOT TRUE?? How dare she! She was never with me over the weekend! I was always,genuinely crushed that she didn't think my weekend depictions were true. ..because to me it was my life. I was certain I kicked it with Deedee and Dexter and Georgina of Famous Five, the Saucepan Man,   Willy Wonka a top a Magic Faraway Tree, Alice and her Wonderland, Matilda and Her Magic-which I often used on my family;  Charlie & his Chocolates  and Belle and that beautiful beautiful beast. A rich,literature and imagination filled childhood. And now that I am a teacher, I will do my best to never stifle the students attempts at creativity and need to dive in to the imagination world. Because I believe imagination bornes the thinkers, the feelers and the doers of this world (that’s my crappiest attempt at a deep quote).  Growing up, getting a degree; becoming a teacher doesn't mean no longer living in that world. That world is me! This is me living in that world with no red marks all over it (if you do I’ll block you all :-D). And I still often sneak into Narnia ‘en’ kick it with Aslan and the like (that should explain the numerous times I do not pick my phone :-D).  So my ideas are not fiction,actually majority of the time they’re truth. Sometimes though,I should probably take my meds and get some rest. But most times...its truth!
