Surreal World

A conversation recorded today by my mom:

Scene: Britney Spears is on a plane bound for Coast Aria. She is running from the cops, wants to dye her hair, but she is afraid her fans won’t like her any more.

“I’m gonna dye my hair before I go to coast aria”

“Don’t scare santa clause, Britney”

“Santa clause is her dad, she’s not scared”

“ Pretend on the runway the police stopped the plane”

- musical interlude - children sing a made up song called “on the coast of cost aria!” –

Spoken in an English accent “I’ll only let you go if you let you go if you let that girl off the plane”

“She cannot dye her hair but she can cut it but not all they way.”

“Can I dye it blonde and black?”

“So the kids won’t know who you are? Yeah that’s perfect”

“Pretend that guy is gonna be frost mad, it’ll take a short time for him to grow up”

FIRST GRADE BEGINS!

I like math in first grade and I have fun and I read a lot in first grade. There's one big air conditioner in my classroom. It is a heater air conditioner. My friend is Serena and my teacher is named Miss Starr. She is a funny teacher.

Follow up to last post

So I asked Alex about the words on the invitation and he said, "I wrote them myself and I didn't really know what they meant".

Mixed Messages

Today I received a birthday invitation. My friend had carefully written all the words and drew a fantastic picture of two dinosaurs. This is what it said:

"Harry - Got gamen. You are invided to my birthday mon. May 16th, oring and bak."

I will be attending of course.

Wiggin' Out

I've been watching a lot of "Foo Fiters" videos lately. David Grohl wears a wig in one of them. I walked up town the other day wearing a blue rubber band over each ear - the rubber bands were like having long hair like David Grohl. Mom thought I might like my own wig so we went to a local thrift store and bought a short brown one, a tuxedo jacket and a bow tie. I spent a looooong time today staring at myself and singing in front of the mirror....

Child's Play

I had my old friend Caimin over for a slumber party. We like to jump up and down on the couch and dive onto pillows below. This morning mom wrote down a few things we shouted as we were playing.

"Pretend I fall through the sewers 'cuz my heart it so heavy"

"Now I fall through my wife's purse"

"Pretend we don't like our girlfriends. We wrestle them and throw them out the window."

"YEAH!"

My first composition

I made up a song last night during a heavy pasta dinner, inspired by a plant mom received from a friend. Sing in Thor-styled metal high pitched voice with LOTS of vibrato:

When mommy wakes up she gets shocked -
her jade turned 40 years old in the night.
Collector! from El Salvador!
She doesn't know if her talent is any use,
Because she knows that she's a jade collector - jade collector.
And she knows something...she knows her thing
(guitar solo)

chorus:

She's a jade collecTOR
From El SalvaDOR

She's definitely a jade collector from El Salvador
She doesn't collect ferns...she kisses her jade goodnight

Letter to my Dearest...

11th January 2008

Dear Davey,

I am Harry. I am 5. I love your band. I am a fan of your song "Love Like Winter". I like how your hairdo is so good ­ I like how it's long on this side and short on this side. And of course I like "Miss Murder". What does AFI stand for? In the "Love Like Winter" video how do you fall under the ice? Do you really fall under the ice when you see that girl? I really like how your band is called AFI.

I go to school at D---- School. My teacher just had a baby, so now there is a substitute teacher. When I was little I didn't know your band until one day my dad said "Why don't you look at this video?" and I loved you so much. What's your bassist's name?

Now I'm going to sing "Love Like Winter". Here goes: (sings) "Warn your warmth to turn away, turn away. Here it's December every day. Bring your lips to the sculptures and surely you'll stay. For of sugar and ice, I am made."

And I like to play with rubber bands while I'm watching AFI.

Love,
Harry
