It seems the son of Imaginary Keith lacks possessiveness.  Good for the world, but in this case, bad for his mother.  I give to you a recent sample, pulled directly from the page of his second grade report on a large, stuffed bear that he brought to school for sharing (show and tell for the old people).

This is my mom’s bear she had it hand made at a stor.  My grandma has a black won.  But my mom’s is gray.

And then the clincher.

My mom is about four feet tall and about four feet side-to-side also.



Lordy, lordy. Imaginary Keith is a dad. The plot thickens.

on a grammar note:

i overheard a girl of around 17 talking to her friends… it sounded as if they might have been going over something learned in school…

she was explaining that an ASTROLOGER was going to Africa to study the animals… but then she corrected herself to no, not the astrologer, but the BIOLOGER.

it is no longer cute, at 17. and i am afraid. very afraid.

Don’t worry about the kid.  Some schools focus more on phonics.  It evens out later.  But I am concerned about the square.
