groundhog day

back in early february, liam's kindergarten class was asked to write about Groundhog Day.  i'm not exactly sure, but i suspect that his teacher was expecting a few sentences about the groundhog, whether he saw his shadow, and what that might mean about winter.  imagine her surprise when liam turned in this stream-of-consciousness, run-on-sentence, but oh-so-creative gem ...

Groundhog Day by Liam Mann

Once upon a time in 1892 there was a groundhog named Gail.  Gail had a friend.  Gail's friend's name was Pam.  Gail and Pam loved to play soccer.  In 1900 when they were 8 years old they moved to Moscow, Russia.  They had to go under the dirt when they were traveling something happened they saw a burrow that said Mac.  They chose to knock on the door when they knocked on the door Mac opened the door Mac said hey, do you two want to watch the groundhog soccer world cup groundhog Russia vs. groundhog Spain and it turned out that groundhog Russia won the world cup for their 1st time and the score was 2 to 0.  Yay!  said Gail.  After that Mac turned off the tv then they played some games then they brushed their teeth they all went to bed then turned off the light then they went to sleep.  Mac set his alarm clock for 7:35 a.m. then in the morning Mac was the first one to wake up then Gail and Pam woke up then Mac and Gail and Pam went downstairs for breakfast.  Mac cooked oatmeal after that Gail and Pam decided to live at Mac's house then Mac, and Pam, and Gail played cards.  The End.
