We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
All my priority's summed up, especially the cakes with lots of sprinkles!
Organized celebration plans...this kid is seriously the future CEO of something big...and he/she must have a serious love for apple cider...this is a cute find.
I admire the way this kid goes with the flow-chart but I am little concerned about the "make fireworks" entry. The handwriting is pretty good so all fingers must present and accounted for - for the present, anyway.
Are we sure it's a flow chart? I used to draw stuff like that as a kid and I would have seen it as Fourth of July being this wonderful event in the middle of everything that leads to all the wonderful things that are branching out of it.
Wow, this makes me wish I were a kid again. What a wonderful list of things to look forward to.
Is apple cider a soft drink in the US?
but it really just looks like a school assignment to me. "use 'pre-writing techniques' to organize an essay on the fourth of july."
apple cider is kind of like apple juice. normally most people drink it in the fall, i think. its kinda weird that he mentions it for the 4th of july
yeah i'm also from the uk and thought it was odd that a kid with such youthful handwriting would choose to drink "apple cider".
Maybe he just likes apple cider..
And maybe he just got bored. I do these things when I'm bored, and I'm not that young.
Just young at heart. :)
Apple cider is always alcoholic in the UK, and is the preferred cheap and cheerful tipple of underage drinkers in particular. Puts a different not-quite-as-cute complexion on the note, if you're looking at it from that point of view.
Apple cider in the US is a kind of thick apple juice, different from "hard" cider which is fermented. Could be he/she meant Sparkling Cider which is very festive for the kids! It comes in a wine bottle and the kids in our family drink it out of wine glasses just like the adults during celebrations.
What kind of scary stories are told on the 4th? Stories about the evil monster British people that once freely roamed this great land? Or maybe they're about making fireworks?
I admire the kid's ambitions for a day jam-packed with festivities, but I agree with Jan in her concern over the home made fireworks (I hope his family has good health insurance!)
Grandma's birthday AND the 4th of July? What a celebration! I have a son who's VERY big on tradition - I can see him making something like this, weeks in advance: Things we've always done on the 4th. Maybe Grandma lives in the NC mountains, where apple cider is sold roadside.
I live in the Southern US. My mother-in-law is from England. On the Fourth, while the kids shoot fireworks in the backyard, she drinks too much and starts singing (very loudly) "God Save the Queen." (Not the Sex Pistols version!) I respond by yelling the "Star Spangled Banner" and "America the Beautiful."
I want to make fireworks too .Hey , everybody , tell your kids what we're celebrating today , ok ?
My little siblings always get apple cider for parties like 4th of July and Christmas and New Years. It was cool for them, because it comes in wine bottles and is fizzy and I suppose the best thing is just the novelty of it.
It's nice to see little kids with cursive handwriting. It seems to be a lost art.
P.S. Does anyone else, when given the spam question, want to answer the wrong answer just because? "What number comes after twenty?" Two hundred and one of course.
Sounds like a full day. What a plan & the diagram/grid is very impressive.
Good plan kid!
P.S. to Somewhere in the library:
All the time....and, I'll confess that a few times I've had to think of the real answer for just a moment - ususally when I 'm checking this site late at night.
Like Mona's mother-in-law, perhaps, i like to wear red, white, and blue on Saint Paddy's day.
From all of us at FOUND, sippin' our ciders: happy 4th of July! LOL KiNG GEORGE!!!
Some teacher assigned either... What I did on the Fourth, or What the Fourth of July stands for. *He must really like Apple Cider, Maybe he even gets to go to a cider mill. He's probably got one of those Uncle's whose into hunting and a bit phyco. "Gonna teach him some kids the art of explosion",or something like that.
Also, I Didn't know fermented apple cider was drank like that in the U.K. ,interesting. I live in Michigan Apple counrty and have drank some home made hard apple cider and it was yummy :) Almost as AMERICAN as apple pie!!~
What a crazy brain-storming for the 4th of July! This had to be a school assignment b/c who writes in cursive, as an elementary school kid, if they don't have to or aren't getting graded? Yeah. Not me. Sounds like some convoluted blend of a camping trips, grown-up parties, New Year's celebrations, family gatherings/birthdays, and then the 4th with the fireworks. This kid must've found it difficult to identify anything beyond fireworks for the 4th, so he blended all the stuff together. Funny.
I love people who celebrate Halloween on the 4th of July.
To me this looks like an assignment that a kid had to do. I remember doing stuff like this in grade school. Even though the 4th of July is during summer vacation, I think it could be one of those things like, "Okay kids, pick a holiday, and make an idea web on what you do during that holiday."
its raining here, on the fourth of july- raining, with no fireworks, makes me want to cry. AND there is no apple cider- DAMNIT!
I'll never understand the American thing of having holidays in the middle of the week. Up here in Canada, they're attached to the weekend, making it possible to have long weekends. You guys either have to take a day off, probably using your own vacation time, or go to work for a day, then drink heavily, and go back to work. The holiday Monday we just had (Canada Day) gave us all an extra day to recover from our hangover after drinking Canadian beer(definition - real beer, not that watered down stuff in a can you guys have). Happy 4th, my American friends.
American apple cider and English cider are wildly different drinks. People here, esp. kids, often drink sparkling cider (which is apple juice with carbonation) celebrating, kind of like a non-alcoholic champaine. English cider, on the other hand, is a common pub drink, IMHO better than beer. I'm awfully fond of both of them!
I got wed - sun off, paid!! Most around here have two weeks off, gotta love G.M.
Mona Lisa hanging... get over yourself
i'm just making an observation, mello.. thats all. lol..
Plan your work, work your plan...hoo-ah!
Umm...it's my grandma's birthday too! Umm... i better check out what my siblings and cousins are up to then i guess.....
Seems to me this kid celebrates a bunch of holidays at once on the 4th of July.Cider and scary stories;Halloween,Staying up late;New years eve,Eating cake;birthdays(Gram
My grandma's birthday is on the fourth too.
And we always used to sit around a fire doing sparklers and telling stories.
They all live in Utah, still I wonder if this could be one of my little cousins'. Funny.
I doubt it's a school assignment...it's the middle of summer. Kids don't go to school in the summer, at least I didn't. So, maybe it was too hot to go play outside and this kiddo made a list to things he wished he could be doing.
This is cute. Reminds me of my boyfriends daughter. She is quite fond of making lists. She will make a list for EVERYTHING. It's pretty funny.
Mona Lisa, we're just capable of partying AND going to work. Only sissy's need recovery days. What do you do on New years eve, or Christmas, or your birthdays?? Celebrate them a day late and a dollar short cuz it's more convenient?? (Hey everybody, this year the ball will drop on the 5th cuz it's a weekend!!)
LAAAAME!!!
lol... good point, Mr. Decibel. Us canadians are prone to celebrating just about anything, and deal with work too. I'm just saying, its inconvenient to have things in the middle of the week, maybe not so much the 4th, cuz its the day, right, but what's your excuse for Thanksgiving?
The turkey enjoys the extra time given to it's life.
:)
aha... i see. What if you waited until the weekend? it would have a few more days, then.
Flargy-our Fourth of July parade is a reverse-halloween. The kids bring bags and the parade marchers throw candy to them. And usually the parade entrants have the costumes on, not the kids.
Ok, to address your comment, we do have Monday holidays. Martin Luther King Jr., President's Day, Veterns Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, um... what else... I'm sure there's something else out there are all on Monday. The problem is that the 4th of July is called 4th of July which sorta forces us to celebrate it on the 4th. Otherwise it would be "the Beginning of July Day". Now, why don't we call it Independence Day and not have to deal with the pain of life when it lands on a weekend, I have no idea, but that's life. So, happy Beginning of July Day and eat some ribs damn it!!
Oh, and the reason that Thanksgiving is on a Thursday (and somebody needs to be patted on the back for this one) is to give us a FOUR day weekend (take that silly neighbors to the north) and we can shop until we die on that Friday.
well said, lizard bits!
Us Canadians? Shouldn't it be "We Canadians"? I guess one of them, at least, has had one too many holidays and celebrated themselves stupid.
Mona Lisa, You really should think about reading some information on a topic before making incessantly insulting remarks. Really, get over yourself - you sound ignorant as to which holidays are celebrated in the US. Maybe you should stick to websites like wikipedia for awhile to clear your head of all this garbage talk. Have a nice time learning new and exciting things.
American apple cider is non-alcoholic (unless it's hard cider, which is alcoholic) and 1000 times tastier than apple juice. I wouldn't drink apple juice, but I'd chug down some cider if I had any.
Mona Lisa, I don't mean to pile on you (nothing wrong with what you said) but you got one thing wrong - "real beer" is from Germany.
Yeah, Mona Lisa. What they said. And wipe that smile off your face, you jerk-ass paint head.
Oh hey Mona
We've got enough real problems here without you talking shit about our holidays and beer . No hard feelings , though .
God bless the kid who has to write a note that reminds him to stay up late and eat cake.
Isn't 'apple cider' a tautology? Like, isn't all cider by definition made from apples?
And by the way, Bob in mt, St Patrick's day is IRISH. Wear red, white and blue (rather than green) on St Patrick's day here and you'll get lynched! (which doesn't stop enormous numbers of people in England acquiring the stupid habit of drinking Irish cider on ice -- a triumph of marketing over taste. Rather have good old English ale any day -- stale, flat and unprofitable.)
England has St George's Day, 23 April, which is also supposedly Shakespeare's birthday. Most English people celebrate this by... doing nothing in particular at all.
it looks like one of those webs that we all used to do in elementary school to organize ideas for an essay. i wonder if "make fireworks" disturbed the teacher at all. i don't think i made fireworks when i was in 4th grade.
