ouch.
man, those toddlers are evil these days!
When my little brother was pretty young he taped a note on my bedroom door that said, "Matt is a winner." He meant to say, "Matt is a wiener." That's what this reminds me of.
"taking my 21 month old there to play&"... play &what?? Play & eat? Play & nap? Play & sing? Play & find random stuff on the ground? My favorite finds are the ways people describe how things were found!
Holly, I'm pretty sure the & was a typo.
Settle down. =/
I feel like this person had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and could only write three letter words? Or maybe it had something to do with leaving out the a's? But then there's an "a" in "are". It's puzzling!
grade two bullies out to get the grade two geeks
My grandma used to tell us we were "dead meat in the gutter" when we got outta hand. I'm going to print this find off and mail it to her.
matt, that reminds me of the time my friend's brother went around telling everyone that he could read their minds because he was psychotic :)
LOL, Alex. Nice!
I like "Matt is a winner" quite a bit.
In 2rd Grade, we were supposed to draw people & label their clothing.
My stick-figure was wearing a nice, button-up "striped shit."
I keep coming back to this one. Once I printed it out and taped it to the steering wheel of a friend's car. We laughed for like 15 minutes over it. It's one of the best finds ever!
Two Birds-
I remember mine was titled, "My Dog is God" (good). However, thanks to the typo the neighborhood kids never messed with my dog after that...
the handwriting is eerily similar to my best friend's. and he has a tendency to mispell even the simplest words...
This could be a child trying to be funny or a sereal killer that dropt out of school at a very urly age
In third grade, I mispelled a valentine to a boy named Tucker.
I can remember, when I was a little boy, I was angry at my dad and I wrote "I hat you!" on a piece of paper and left it on his bed. Also, Matt IS a winner! =D
This reminds me of a few things.....stupid bullies from elementary school and a couple funny spelling / grammar errors. Like when my baby sister was asked how I was doing at art school she would always reply: Good! She makes pot! She was about 3 at the time.....and I was actually taking POTTERY. Then there was my daughter. Her poor first grade teacher spent the first part of last year reading stories about the dog "cumming".....and going......Grandma cumming to our house....ARGH how many times did I say: "Honey, it's spelled COMING." (?!} Always made me wonder if her teacher even cracked a smile while grading her papers....
Alex,
It would seem as though we know the same people as my friend's brother insisted on the exact same thing!
Can I buy a vowel? An 'A' please? There are two 'A's. (Bing) (Bing)
Bugg, my son has always loved to tell jokes, and they were always pretty good, even when he was little. One day he really made me laugh, and I said, "Zach, you are so funny!" He replied, "Yeah, I'm a real chameleon."
My grandma used to always tell me a story about how one time this girl came over in elementary school to do homework, and she eventually got bored and wrote on my grandma's desk. Apparently they had gotten in some fight because it said " I hat you, your carzy"
so now, whenever my mother and i get mad at eachother, we usually resolve it by telling eachother we hat them.
Swedish Biscuits, I hope you added "in the gudr" to the end of the note if you printed it off for Grandma.
Kid art and kid writing is so awesome!
Makes me think of Shakespeare, Midsummer Night's Dream -- 'Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania'....
'Ded met by moonlight' doesn't quite have the same ring to it??
Pat in ID, is that like Countdown -- 'I'd like a vowel... and another vowel... and a consonant please...'?

That's very odd, I only wrote it once.
Sorry!
is there an echo in here?
In here??
In here???
It's a Wheel of Fortune reference, Jonathan.. (Merv Griffin game show hosted by Pat Sajak and barbie-esque hostess, Vanna White) But it doesn't exactly make sense, since there's already one A showing... although maybe we just have to assume that Vanna is in the process of turning the letters.
And I think Someone at Found is messin' wit' you!!
Thanks for the link.. so simple and silly- but hilarious!!
Chromio, you're welcome.
I think Wheel of Fortune originated in the UK, but probably before we had a TeeVee...
Countdown is a stupid (but compulsive) game show where you ask for vowels and consonants and then have to try to make up the longest possible word from them. There's also a mathematical round (use these random numbers to arrive at this random result) which always makes me feel really STUPID. At least I don't waste time watching daytime TV! He heh. I waste it on here instead.

They simply MUST add this find to the list of available to put on a tee shirt @ the Found Tee Shirt link!!!

plese don't be men to me
Reminds me of a kid I taught for the last two years - he had a lot of trouble spelling the word 'can't' and frequently substituted the letter 'a' with the letter 'u'. Gave me quite a shock the first time I read it, but I got so used to it I barely noticed by the end of the year!
damn, you guys have some great stories! my fav is 'psycotic'. AWESOME. i also love 'striped shit' and 'i hat you!' great, great, great.
Matt, Alex, Two Birds, Dono - hilarious.
Reminds me of when I was in First Grade. We had to draw a family portrait, including ourselves. I drew myself holding my "Peanuts" lunchbox, but instead, I had written "Penis" on it. I have no idea why! My teacher must have thought me a rather perverted six year-old girl!
When my twin sons were about five, they thought swearing was cool. They'd go around saying "You asphalt!" to each other.
