The Honesty of a Child
March 23rd, 2008
Caemlyn had an Activity Days dinner this past friday night for parents to come to. As part of one of their requirements, they each had to write a poem or story about the creation (at a previous activity) and share it with everyone at the dinner. Most of the poems were about trees, flowers, water, etc., but my lovely daughter wrote one about her family. We’ll not discuss how red my face must have been when she was done. lol But, I figured I’d share it anyway.
My Family
My family is sweet or sour
they are funny or mean they
are silly or crazy.
We love each other so.
We help each other too.
We hug and kiss or
hit and kick.
Sometimes we are mean
sometimes we are happy.
We love each other so.
She looked very pretty though in her new dress that her mean mommy made her the day before.

What a perfect poem! It truly describes a real family. To say anything else would have been false and not truly captured what family life is like – messy. I am proud of you Caemlyn.
I like her dress. When I read her poem, I laughed because I know you’re just as normal as we are. It’s always nice to know. LOL
Hilarious!! I think it’s true though for most of our “wonderful families” out there. And a “child” sees the beauty in it…I think that’s beautiful! Love the tie-dye dress!
