Inner Workings discussion

It has a poetic ring to it... or at least a repetitive one...

1. Mom, you keep me safe. For example, in the car, you make sure I have my seat belt on.

2. Mom, you take care of me. For example, you cleaned me when I was a baby.

3. Mom, you are nice. For example you help me with my homework.

4. Mom, you are funny. For example, you won't get off your computer or iPhone.

5. Mom, you are pretty. For example, I like to look at you.

6. Mom, you are creative. For example, you are writing a novel of your own.

7. Mom, you are helpful. For example, you help me by writing a paragraph when I want to write a story for Dad.

8. Mom, you love me. For example, you hug me.

9. Mom, you play with me. For example, when you put on music, you dance with me.

10. Mom, you are a good cook. For example, you make good pizza.

(And yes. She was actually reading Letters to a Young Poet/the Possibility of Being.)

Here is Jackson's.... have to be fair, you know...

Jackson made a little book... it is more of a writing prompt, but there are cute pictures on every page...

My mom wears many hats in our family. My mom is a teacher. She taught me how to talk.
(Picture of Jack saying "Mom")

My mom is a cook. I love it when she makes salmon.
(Picture of the grill)

My mom is a nurse. She always makes me feel better when she gives me tomato soup.
(Picture of Jack in a bed)

My mom is a magician. She can always find lost things. Once she found my DS.
(It's true, I did, after it had been lost for almost a year. Picture of Jack holding his DS)

My mom is a sanitation worker. When she sees my room, she says OMG
(Picture of me with my mouth open... I just want to know who wrote these prompts, seriously.)

My mom is a chauffeur. She drives me to school.
(Picture of a car. I do not drive him to school.)

My mom is the best mother ever!
