So this being a holiday weekend (although this post should appear the week after Memorial Day, assuming I don’t screw up the scheduling, it was actually prepared the week before), I was feeling kind of lazy, and decided to dip back into the giant cache of my elementary school papers that my folks excavated from the house where I grew up. This week, I grabbed a mimeograph of an old assignment about the senses:

The Early Years: Jim Is Class Spokesman
From the “Blatant Lies” department:
The Early Years: Jim Is Small But Very Precise With Measurements
Sadly, my drawing skills never really improved all since then. Also, is it just me, or did I draw myself looking a tiny bit like the Joker in that picture?
Hmm, okay, maybe not.

This time I pulled out a report card “progress report” from thirty-five years ago.
The Early Years: Accident-Prone Much?
From the “Doesn’t This Happen To Everyone?” Department:
The Early Years: Jim Thinks The President Gives A Crap That He Likes School

The Early Years: Jim Can’t Swim. Or Run.
So this week I reached into my pile of ancient elementary school paperwork and pulled out this one:
The Early Years: Jim Is A Singing Snitch
I’m not sure if this checklist considers “Tells On Other Children” to be a good thing or a bad thing. And “Participates Freely in Singing”? I find that hard to believe!
