I woke up one morning and my senses were all mixed up. I could smell with my ears and see with my mouth and hear with my nose and taste with my hands. When I tried to pick up my food I just ate it. I opened my mouth so I could see how my hands looked. They had mini mouths. I was surprised. I kind of liked having my senses like this. After a while I wanted to change my senses back. Without a sound it changed back to normal. The end.

Spring Break according to Benjamin

I was absolutely gleeful when Benjamin's Kindergarten journal came home at the end of May this year. I didn't even know he had been doing a journal at school. Priceless. I vowed to digitize it.

As written: During my spring breeak I wohchet pokemon with dad( but he didet rele pay utench.) I ran yraned the hose all day long. Dad wasit home. I had a grat spring brak.

 Spelling standardized: During my spring break I watched Pokemon with dad (but he didn't really pay attention.) I ran around the house all day long. Dad wasn't home. I had a great spring break.

He really did spend most of spring break literally running around the house. :)
