In answer to the question "What is your favorite book?" Merritt wrote:
"Goosebumps is my favret because. They can scare me. and I like that. Plus the covers are cool. and my favret are horor land."Oddly enough, those are actually (loosely) complete sentences (minus two coordinating conjunctions and a subordinate conjunction). Weird. Moving on!!
In answer to the question "What are you good at?" Merritt wrote:
"Merritt's smart. about dinos. because I. am smart. about dinos."I'm convinced he gets credit for this because the teacher has such a good laugh. Or maybe she likes the art work. On the back of this particular masterwork is a picture of Merritt teaching Joseph about the mighty T-Rex.
Obviously Merritt is a good teacher, because Joseph has totally grasped the concept of the T-Rex!And finally, an essay. Let me give you a little background on this though. Chad took Merritt to the local recycling center to drop off our plastics and cardboard (we're trying to save our corner of the earth). While they were out and about, Merritt said that he wished there was a "Yes Day" so that he could ask for anything he wanted and we would have to say "yes." Now...on to the essay.
"last Satrday I was begearing (begging) for a holladay called Yesday. I wanted that holladay more than eneything then I wanted in the world. So I asked Dad and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and asked and my dad said no so I gave up."It's so awesome. I think it's even better that it is so unintentionally funny. :D

Would Yes day work for adults too? If so, I am all for it! :)
So funny! I am wiping away tears from laughing so hard--my favorite was the second one.
Merritt is a genious! Why I never thought to use that many "asked" in an essay I'll never know! Clever and very fun to read!
All I know for sure is that Merritt came to the 'right' family who will hang in there with him no matter what! We love all you guys so much! Mom & Dad
He is pretty much the coolest kid ever! Thanks for the good laughs!
