This is absolutely adorable. I love it! And now I really want to see Keith, Rachel, Stephen, and Jon all walking to school together. They're so cute!

Also your Rachel is the best kid ever. I love her wanting to cut her hair, and her collecting words (egregious!), and the fighting dirty bit. Just awesome :D

There's going to be more to this verse, right? *puppy eyes* ♥

[phonemonkey]

Thanks. I really like kid!Rachel. I had the same theory on "fighting dirty" as a child, and I still collect good words.

And yes, there are definitely going to be more Silentverse stories. There's one involving Andy Zaltzman back in England, a sad one about Stephen's father and brothers, one involving baseball for which my research is going to consist of finding an American and having them explain the rules of baseball to me in simple small-child terms...you get the general idea. But I'd love other people to pick up this ball and run with it too.

Aww!! This is soo aww!!
Ooh!! Who gave John the kiss??(PLZ don't tell me it's completely obvious because if it is......I'm gonna feel incredibily stupid)

Hahahaha I laughed so hard at the 'and then I kicked her' part!! That is so Sam Bee!!!!

Aww poor Stephen!! Stupid mean kids!! Ah!! I love Rachel!!! Hahaha I miss climbing up trees!!! Rachel's reaction to getting her braid cut off was soo appropriate!! I might find it funnier than most... but that's probably because something similar happened to me....Except I was 4 and I had a pair of scissors.....and I cut off a big chunk of my hair(which was really long)....So my mom had to take me to a salon so they could fix my hair......It was really short afterwords......

Glad you like it.

Who gave John the kiss??

Don't feel stupid, because I never actually decided. Could have been Jon, could have been Stephen, could have been the teacher...I think it will remain as a mystery. It's whoever you makes you squee when you imagine it.

I cut off most of my brother's hair at one point when he was 2 and I was 6, with my little blunt-ended craft scissors. Everyone who came to the house would coo over his mop of blonde curls, and I got jealous.

Oh ok good!! Hmm....soo many people to chose from!!

Hahahaahaa!!! It might be less embarassing if my older brother had done it....We actually looked more alike after I messed up my hair, because he had longish hair and my hair got cut pretty short.....I was never jealous of my older brothers hair, but my younger brother......Jesus!!! his hair is beautiful!! And people are always cooing about it....(I'm one of them)

I am squeeing so hard right now, I can't even form words. Little Sam is amazing. <3

[phonemonkey]

Awww, thanks. Little Pundits are really fun to write. I've been wanting to write a Sam other than Super!Slutty!Sam for a while now, and I had the 'verse already, so Little Sam seemed perfect.

That was so cute and well-written! Hmmm... historical, kiddie!pundits and all of them being adorable? Yep, you're onto a winner!

Miss Rubin may or may not have an English cousin named Joyce Grenfell.

*dies laughing* Why, oh why, do I suddenly have this mental picture of little Rachel Maddow in the upper fourth at St. Trinian's making deals with Flash Keith?
