A Cry For Help
I have to write a slew of short narrative paragraphs appropriate for third and fourth graders. Things like "Visiting Grandma At The Nursing Home" and "A Funny Story About Birthday Cake." They have to be totally innocuous and can have no mention of religous holidays, Halloween, gay parenting, or monkeys. I'm pulling up blanks. I need your ideas.
Note: if you are planning to slip in subversive messages about feminism, socialism, or independent thinking in an attempt to mold the minds of the young, you are going to have to be pretty fucking subtle. That paragraph "Why Emma Goldman Is My Hero" so did not fly. And in regards to level of diffculty, pretend you are writing to an audience of four-year-old, lobotomized George W. Bush's.
Suggestions? Advice? Sweet, sweet opiates?
On this National Day Of Delurking, help a girl out. Delurk your lovely self. Leave a comment.
Thanks.
