sometimes when you're at your bloggy lowest, sitting silent and impotent in front of your mac and you just can't think of a single, solitary thing about which to write, the universe smiles upon you and sends a shiny, tinsel-tied package of sweet sweet candy from the classiest shop in heaven direct to The Place Where The Words Come From.
case in point...
this was the front of the worksheet mrs b found in ab's school folder yesterday evening.
the assignment appears to be pretty straight forward. the letter of the day is 'd'. practice your handwriting by copying these simple sentences featuring words in which the letter 'd' is front and center.
damp ducks david did dance.
ok.
that's side one.
side two is where ab's class was asked to draw a picture of two things that begin with the letter 'd'. get creative. use your noodle. that's where we bergs shine.
presenting side two.
you can imagine the reaction when the mrs showed me what our budding warhol had whipped up. my sides still hurt.
after we were able to control our laughter, we called ab in and explained with smiles on our faces that we absolutely loved the drawing, but bathroom words might not be the most appropriate subject for drawings at school. he explained that the teacher's aide helped him nail the spelling.
and you thought a los angeles public school education was worthless.

You should send him in as a scab during the writer's strike.
Poor Dylan. Not only is he the second thing that comes to mind when using the letter D, but knowing the world of cartoons so well, if he looks up he's got a world of hurt that'll drop on him.
Diarrhea is nothing to laugh about.
From the look of his face, Dylan can attest to that.
Thanks for the new post. It was worth the wait.
Wow. You sure he isn't really MY kid?
Seriously though, I can't tell you just how fantastic that is.
Damn I was impressed he spelled the word right! You should have told us that the aide helped him. But hey at least the aide can spell! that should make you feel good!
bomb rocks!!!!
As a parent of two kids, now in their twenties, I have but one word to say about David's work: HILARIOUS!!!
Thanks for my laugh of the month, Moe. Ain't fatherhood grand? :-D
Now, it's been 20 days since your last post. I know your other readers are as interested as I, about the goings on there in the Berg residence. How about sharing? Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
OMG, that's so funny, I'm crying...
