Discovered in a boy's bedroom... ;-)

Nov 19, 2008 21:48

I was cleaning (AKA 'mucking out', 'excavating', etc...) my 10yo son's bedroom, when I found a scrap of paper crumpled up in the corner. He collects old machines and fixes them - this story was obviously typed on his "portable" manual typewriter. (I've transcribed it below the picture.)



"clack, clack, clack " went the writer's typewriter. Then a sudden "ding!" filled the room. Then he said "done". Then the doorbell rang. He opened the door only to find a note that said: "John dear, by the time you will be reading this, I'll be here". Then his wife pulled up in the driveway, and then he said, "Well, you're home early Rowan". They went inside and she looked at his work and said, "wow!" "This is pretty good," she said. They walked into the livingroom and had a long talk about him getting a job.

That's right, buddy. Get a real job!
