The Lucky Winner of the Book Giveaway is
Kim Kasch!
contact me at Bevers@nc.rr.com and we'll talk about getting that book to you.
I'll announce the next book giveaway on Friday.
How to catch and train a baby elephant.
And next, I want to share some wisdom that I gleaned from a 7 year old that I see almost every Tuesday night. I love to see what goes on inside the mind of a child. Here's my conversation. I'll call this 7 year old E.
E: I don't know if I want to have a baby when I grow up.
Me: That's fine. Not every body does. You can go to college, travel the world and get a good job before you decide. You should be a writer. You're very creative.
E: No. I don't write so good and I don't have any ideas. I think I'll go to the rainforest and get myself a baby elephant.
Me: Really. That sounds fun. How are you going to catch it?
E: It's easy. Put out some peanuts and catch it in a deer trap.
Me: Gee. You've got it all figured out. What are you going to do with your baby elephant after you catch him.
E: I'm going to train him.
Me: Train him to do what?
E: To juggle me.
Me: Oh. And what else.
E. To pound people.
I still think she should be a writer. :0)

I forgot to say "Congrats Christy!"...your fingers must be on fire!!! grin...
Hip-Hip-Hooray!!! I'm so excited.
Thanks Cristy.
Hi Brenda! Thanks! My outline is making my progress soooo easy. I just look at what I have and brainstorm as I type. It's going a lot faster than I thought it would.
Yea Kim! I got your e-mail. I hope to get the book out this week. Maybe even tomorrow if I'm on the ball. But be forewarned. I'm rarely on the ball. But it does happen on occasion.
Christy
Yes, definitely a writer in the making there!
Hi kate! Yep, not only is she creative, but she doesn't realize the great idea's that she already has. Just like the rest of us. ;0)
Too cute! That girl needs to be writer for sure.
I think she could get this published right away!
:)
So cute!
Bish, Whenever I see this kid, she's full of funny stuff. I think I'm going to start interviewing her when I get the chance, kind of like that show "Kids say the Darndest things." :0) I'll get all kinds of material!
PJ, I'll have to admit, if she gets published before me, I'll be really jealous. ;0) OK. Maybe I'd be a little proud since I know her and encourage her to write down her stories.
Christy
Ha! I love the baby elephant trainer girl!
Congrats to Kim on the win and to you for your NaNoWriMo progress!
I love that story! I want a baby elephant, too.
I want a baby elephant that pounds people too! Really.
Thanks for the smile!
Listen, I have three baby elephants. Tell her they're not all they're cracked up to be.
Rhinos on the other hand...
Congtrats to Kim! Way to go with the writing, Christy!
Thanks Sruble!
Adrienne, she does make a baby elephant sound good, doesn't she? :0)
Slhastings, come to think of it, I want one too! maybe she'll catch and train one for us too.
Thanks for the tip Ian! Good to know. ;0)
Thanks Rena!
Susan,
I'm amazed at how advanced kids think. I teach a 4th and 5th grade Sunday school class at church and I'm blown away by the questions that they ask. They ask stuff that adults ask. I"ve struggled with this questions myself, but I"ve never thought of how to explain them in 4th and 5th grand lingo before. so I find myself saying a lot "That's a good question, let's all look into that this week and we'll make that our lesson next Sunday." Becuase I need to have time to figure out how to to talk about such deep subjects. 4th and 5th graders are like having a five year old and an 18 year old fighting for the same body!
It's refreshing, isn't it. :0)
Christy
