Picnic On The Moon

I encouraged my Son to enter a literary contest when he was in Kindergarten. The winners consisted of K-6th grade. He won 1st place in literature.

 1992-93 National PTA Reflections Program Imagine That.....

I showed my son a picture of the moon and asked him,   "Wouldn't it be nice to have a picnic here?"  He told me the story he came up with and I wrote it down.  I put him in my lap and called each letter of every word and he typed it into the computer.  After 4 hours we had his story ready for the contest.  I would like to share it with all of you.

 

Imagine That....You Were Having A Picnic On The Moon 

I would put on my space suit.

Walk around and find a good hole.

Once I find a smooth hole,  I gather 4 rocks.

Spread out my blanket and put rocks on each corner.

Open the picnic basket and what do I see:

Grapes,  Watermelon,   Orange juice and sandwiches.

I try to throw my grapes up in the air and catch them in my mouth...but they fly away.

I eat my watermelon and spit out the seeds and they float right above my head.

I giggle at the seeds.

If I open my orange juice I have to hold my hand over the top so it won't float away too.

I take my hand off the top to get a drink then I eat my sandwich.

After the picnic I roll around on the moon because I won't get dirty there.

Then I look for rocks because you can't collect rocks at the park.

 

 

A visualization from my son at age 5.

This is a wonderful story from an immaginative young man. You should be very proud. (Maybe one day he WILL have a picnic on the moon, throw grapes into the air and roll around without getting dirty.)
