For those of you have not seen me kicking around town this week, I did survive my mission to _________ International Middle School. My favorite part of my time there was, believe it or not, not working in the library. It was hanging out with my sister. She is a fifth grade language arts teacher, and had her students as a final project write biographies on famous persons. The biographies blew my mind. Some of the facts were a little off. One student wrote that Eleanor Roosevelt was the "First Lady" to ever marry a president. Another wrote that when Truman dropped the bomb, "everything in Eleanor's body stopped working." My favorite was the following:
During the war Winston Churchill He became Prime minster. He was for England. At that time His grandFather deid. When the war ended Winston ChurchiLL sadly deid. I January 30, 1965. In Oxford england. they threw him in the river.I made sure to buy some biographies for the library.

This made me laugh my ass off. I then read it aloud to my dad and he was highly entertained.
