My Parents Are Just.......People?

Here two of Maya's latest poems:



Coke


Honest

Awesome

Dad





Makes me laugh

Odd

Makes good food





................I don't make good food. Was the writing assignment entitled, "Two Truths and a Lie?"

You have to hand it to her. She's observant. Doesn't all good art spring from some well of imperfection surrounding us? Tchaikovsky had war-torn Russia. Van Gogh had his mental illness. Maya has an odd mom and a Coke-head dad.

  1. Why does that make me laugh so hard? Oh, Emma and Asher played twosies in the "car" all afternoon. Asher has the cutest "beep beep" ever! Thanks for the fun!

  2. At least she's honest. You don't have to worry about that kid telling too many falsehoods!

  3. She's also got a little brother with a thyroid problem. (Just kidding). LOVE THESE POEMS...laughed out loud!

  4. I love that she described you as odd. I am sure that your food is good to her because of the secret ingredient you put in it: LOVE. Tell her that next time you serve dinner. Calvin stared at his plate for about 5 minutes before saying he wasn't sure if he could see the love.
