Let it Linger (And Leave a Note)
Chrissy found this laying on her husband’s pillow:
When documenting incidents of flatulence in relation to bedding, accurate timestamping is always important.

A Dog: Every Kid in the Universe (Including Aliens) Should Have One
Read this manifesto letter and decide for yourself, but we’re pretty sure that 9-year-old Rylan — of Lego portfolio fame — would like to have a dog.
Your sorrowful son? Talk about twisting the canine dagger.
Thanks to Travis and Suzie — Rylan’s heartless parents — for sharing this masterpiece of wanton kid-inflicted parental shame inducement with SKW.
Stuipid Gardening
You gotta love an 8-year-old who reads history.
You gotta love an 8-year-old who brings history to his backyard.
In the words of his dad, Lloyd Rang:
Cameron read that the ancient Romans would insult basil to make it grow better. So, out of love and concern, he put up this (somewhat ironic) sign:
Now excuse me, I’m off to swear at my #$%&ing peonies.
~
Cameron’s writing has appeared here twice before. I can’t help but adore this kid even though I’ve never met him. Please check out a touching post, How Our Kids Re-Write Us, and a hilarious one, When Kids Try Hot Sauce.

Thou Shalt Not Steal (or I’ll Tell Mom!)
Sometimes, you just have to take a stand against the tyranny of a sister.
And if that doesn’t work, write a note to your mom telling on her.
Thanks to Megan for sharing this detailed incident report from her son.
No Wonder My Dreams Weren’t Coming True: I’d Been Using Shredded Cucumber!
Amanda Bast, who’s sent in great stuff before, submitted this piece. She explains:
A little girl handed me this gem after teaching her grade 4 class. She offered no explanation, just handed it over and refused to explain it.
It reads:
Secret Recipe for your wish to come true
-cat hair
-dog hair (10 wishes for 10 drops)
-yogurt
-ripped up paper
-cucumber (sliced)
-MIX
-Stir
-Pour over head
-think hard
-Done
Seems easy enough. And it’s easy to smile when you read Amanda’s stuff, too. Go check out her site by clicking here. Thanks, Amanda!
Having Fun With Family Axing Turkeys
December has arrived, but here’s a quick recap of November compliments of my 7-year-old son Nolan (and his backpack):
Not sure whether that’s supposed to read “Enjoying family” or “Ignoring family.”
And for the record, our family will go ax a Christmas tree in coming weeks, but we’ve yet to bond while decapitating poultry.
That would be fowl.
Holy Gwockomoly! This Birthday Card is Be. A. Utiful.
A card — particularly the homemade variety — can be a gift in and of itself.
Like this one.
MW, my 7-year-old nephew, composed this handcrafted masterpiece for his mom on her birthday. It’s beyond words.
But here are a few anyway:
1. Sydney is the dog. No mention of MW’s younger brother, but he undoubtedly loves his mama, too.
2. Mother and son both have beautiful eyes. True story. Probably genetic.
3. Correctly spelling “beautiful” — twice — is impressive at any age.
4. My sister-in-law really does make the best gwockomoly.
5. Nothing says “happy birthday” like hearts. And bananas.
*****
Thanks to MW’s dad for sharing this beauty, and now it’s your turn.
It’s letters-to-Santa season! We’ve already received several, and we’d love to share your submission with the readers of Stuff Kids Write, as well.
Remember, ’tis the season of giving, and a laugh is an easy gift to give. Plus it requires no wrapping. So send your submission to stuffkidswrite@gmail.com today!
From Liquor to Body Parts: Kids and Their Vices
On the first few days of school, most teachers gather some background information, trying to get to know the students who will be occupying their classroom for the next ten months.
So like all his second grade classmates, J completed a worksheet about his favorite activities, hobbies, and sports. His mom Susanna came across her son’s handiwork at his Back-To-School night.
This is what she saw.
As a teacher herself, Susanna was particularly horrified by her son’s favorite hobby: partying. More subtle was his favorite place to go, Ronny’s Market, their neighborhood liquor store. And she’s pretty sure J’s favorite thing to collect is “pennies,” not penis as it looks. But at she says, who knows?
