The house purge continues...

I've found a lot of old school papers as I've been going through things. I have to say how horrified I am at how easily I opened up about the personal parts of my life, and my family's, with various teachers. I just found this little gem. I feel I must preface it with the fact that my parents are really responsible people and I don't remember this really happening, so I'm hoping I just made this up. Still, I'm sorry that I gave Mrs. Taylor the impression that we were deadbeat white trash. It won't happen again.

"No Power!" By: Lori King, Grade: 5

It was Sunday morning. No electricity. Dad forgot to pay the bill. We bundled up and went outside to grill steaks. When Monday came around there was no radio alarm. We woke up at 7:15. We roasted hot dogs for dinner. It was always dark. It was miserable. All this went on until the next Sunday. My dad got fed up. He payed (sp) the bill Monday morning. (He woke up with his watch alarm.)

Do you know what your kids are writing about you at school?
