mamas don't let your babies grow up to be bricklayers

in the latest personal response, a girl said her job of choice would be a bricklayer...

I would be a bricklayer if my mom let's me.

of course, she didn't answer why she would be a bricklayer... and there is that apostrophe in lets...

but the apostrophe tells me she's thinking of that piece of punctuation, and for first grade, it's pretty impressive that she has that in mind...

and here a boy wants to be a polise... as an answer to which job would you like to help with in building a house....

I will be a polise becues we wont git puld ofer

i can understand his concern with this, he's always getting in trouble in class and i can see his mom being worried about puld over, she just gives me that feeling...

and here the same boy says

My bookbag is A /house/ for junk.

my comment for this one is "so true!" it's true of all my kids... i never see such a buncha packrats!
