Kids say the darndest things.

I have a 9 year old granddaughter in 3rd grade who wrote the following for an assignment. All grammar and spelling are as she wrote.

If I were in charge of the world.
I'd cancel summer breaks.
I'd cancel taxes.
I'd cancel video games.
I'd cancel crimes.

If I were in charge of the world.
There would be more math.
There would be more cats.
There would be more homework.
There would be free homes with pizza and ice cream.

If I were in charge of the world.
You wouldn't have lost and found.
You wouldn't have candy.
You wouldn't have sickness.

If I were in charge of the world.
I would make flying cars and magic .
And a person who forgets to write their name would still be in
charge of the world.


I think it is obvious that she likes school and math is her favorite subject. She gets straight A's. Also she frequently forgets to sign her name to her papers she turns in.

Lovely thoughts!

I like that wry comment on her own forgetfulness, but what does she have against holidays?

And with that penchant for maths, is she already thinking of eventually a University Degree and a career in Science or Engineering (both can be very highly mathematical) ?

I remember when I was in school, they made us write our names over and over if we forgot. I got up to 3000. Not fun. I hated my name for years after that. But yeah, she seems very bright.
She was smart enough to use the subjunctive! Impressed.

The structure of the poem works. Amazing for a 9 year old.
That last line was the cutest…🤭
