Writings of a Little Girl

I was rummaging through my closet last night and came across an orange sheet of paper folded up.  When I opened it up I knew immediately what it was.  Back when I was in elementary school, I would sometimes sit with my mom in the big sanctuary instead of going to Sunday school with the rest of the kids at church.  This was back when our church services were about 2 hours long, so I would sometimes scribble, draw, or write for fun.  The folded piece of paper I found was an old sheet of paper where church members could write sermon notes, but I decided to write a story on it.  I scratched out the words "Sermon Notes" on the top and decided to write a story about a penguin.  If you can't read the picture version, here is the story with all original spellings and punctuation included:

Once there was a penguin named little penguin.  He was smart, and had a green beake.  His friends made fun of him because he was different.  One day he saw some yellow paint.  Maybe if I paint my beack yellow they woun't know that my beack is green.  So he painted his beack yellow.  The other peguins diden't even know who he was.  Then one day he was watching a cook fixing lunch.  Then all of a sudden the cook acxadently took the pepper and threw it out the window.  Little Penguin sneezed all the paint off his beack.  His friends were very mad at him.  He was sad.  Then one day a girl came to his house.  Her beack was green too!  She asked him if she could stay with him because the penguins did not let her stay with them.  He said sure they won't let me either because I have a green beack too and they lived happily ever after.

I showed my mom this and we had a good laugh about it.  She said that you can tell I read a lot of books when I was young.   The Ugly Duckling, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Disney princess movies/stories are all being channeled here :)   And, the name Megan and the grade A+ is on the sheet because I used to play "school" when I was little and would pretend to grade the papers of my students which were actually written by me.  Obviously I thought this was a fabulous piece of writing.  Yep.  Major nerd.
