My son Jacks letter about me. (Age 8)

I mentioned on another thread about this glorious letter my son Jack (Then aged 8) wrote about me. He had to write about a member of his family & bless him he picked me.The teacher found it so funny she laminated it & handed it to me on a parents evening. I am not going to write it word for word as an 8 year olds grammar is far worse than my 9 year old grammar. I am holding it now as I type & it still makes me laugh. I will add in brackets the explanations when needed. This is everything he wrote though.
Here goes

My Mum.
My mum is very pretty. She has long yellow hair & some eyes. I don’t know what colour they are but sometimes when she shouts they are black. My mum works very hard. During the day, she puts on our washing & drinks coffee while it goes round.Sometimes she feels dizzy from it & has to sleep for many days;.
In the night times my mum is sometimes a police woman & others a nurse. (I was a kissogram for a while).My mum cooks all my dinners. Sometimes they are ok but she likes to make corned beef hash as often as she can which makes me feel sick.
I love it when mum takes me to the park. I get sad though when we have to leave. The law is that parks are only open for 15 minutes so that all the children around the world can have a go on the swing. Mum said we have to obey this law or we are selfish. When I grow up I am going to make more parks for more children to play in.
My mum is very funny. She says funny things like, if you swing that toy around anymore I will rip off your arm. She says other funny things all the time too. I love my mum and she has a very hard time. Mum says that bringing up boys is hard as they are more likely to be serial killers than girls. My mum is painting my house & she has paint fights with us. I like them.But I am not allowed to draw in books. Mum says that’s against the law & I will be hung.
When I was little she would hoover my hair. (True. They wanted it spiky)
I love my mum she makes me laugh.

Awww, that is sooooo adorable.
The serial killer bit is wonderfully funny, (and true!) :-)

Laughing out loud

Wheres the awwwwwwwww smilie?

Nice, and no restrained.

Its funny, the serial killer comment hints at darker stuff....

But by not taking it further actually makes the joke sharper and funnier.

Could picture this as a male version of the Morwena Banks little girl character

She has long yellow hair & some eyes.

Laughing out loud I choked on my food!

Charley, Charley, Charley.

DO STAND UP NOW!

Brilliant. "Some eyes". Hahah

Very nice. "Some eyes" was a masterstroke.

Awww Charley, that must make you feel so proud and wonderful. :D

A great letter.

Nice one Charley. Very funny and touching.

And the "some eyes" is the best, it suggests more than one but leaves the door open for the wonderful possibility of even more than two.

Kids! Eh?

:) good stuff

Loved it Charley, Lee has a point do stand up right bloody now!!

It's against the law for you not too Laughing out loud

That was hilarious.
Laughing out loud

Awww Fankoo guys.
I told my boys that parks have to close after 15 minutes as I hated taking them there. I found it mind numbingly boring. I have told them many, many lies over the years & sadly now that they have grown they realise the truth. There are no monsters under the bed between 7pm & 7am, that will gobble them up should they get out of bed. The sucker man in the plughole does not exist & will not suck them into the drain & torture them, if they do not get out of the bath.
Parks are really open all day & night. I do not have a poisonus thyroid which erupts & spreads through the entire human race if they do not come home on time. It is a shame really. I may just have to have another baby!

Make every moment count, there is no cure for 'empty nest syndrome'
