My Pictures and Stories
A few months ago my parents bequeathed to me a box containing “things” of my past. Without my knowledge, they had kept everything I had ever done since I was 3 – including report cards, drawings, letters, pictures, etc (my father took great pride in this, which tells you a lot about the man).
Among those files was a story I wrote in Junior Kindergarten – well, co-wrote, as the handwriting will shortly reveal. I want to share it with you, so here it be, in all her glory:
Page 1
(Page one does not disappoint, with a poignant self-portrait not seen since the likes of Picasso. It also reveals the date this was written: sometime between September 1985 and June 1986).
Page 2
(The caption says “I made a snowman.” Not only am I flying, but my snowman is red and the snow-covered ground is brown.)
Page 3
(My family is eating dinner in this one. Meatballs, soup, and rice. And a second table full of rice. Take note of the food theme. It shall return.)
Page 4
(“My people was home.” I saw “suns.” This was my early rapper phase.)
Page 5
(“The next time I went home, my mother was cooking.” More food. This is where my “Everybody Loves Raymond” complex develops.)
Page 6
(Coloring is fun. So is having your mommy cook you dinner.)
Page 7
(The End)!
why is your Dad spider-webbing someone at the dinner table? Did he kill off a sibling when you were young?
it’s cute that you think an abandoned wheelchair is a ‘tractor’

I was always more concerned about my giant blue (euphemism), depicted on page 2.
gives a whole new meaning to ‘making a snowman’
I have already seen and laughed at these pictures to no end, so I just wanted to say that I absolutely love the Mayor of Awesome Town! This guy has always been one of my favourite minor Simpsons characters, but it was only this past Sunday that I discovered his name is Data!
Just for you, Brookie…
Here’s a wiki page dedicated to him (he’s also known as Database):
Database.
hahahahah oh man Hamid that is great. I agree with Brooke about the mayor of awesome town. Data is an amazing character!!!!
Thanks Laura. Glad you liked it!
Watching the “Lemon of Troy” episode certainly helped to make Data the mayor of awesome town. Such a quality episode.
