I found this when I was cleaning up the random papers on the coffee table early this morning:
I can't even begin to figure this list out. I mean, she's SEVEN YEARS OLD. Midgets and prison? Is this a list of things she wants to do over the holiday weekend?
Nothing below the fold, no need for clickage.

The Girl Is Starting To Worry Me With Her Lists

Did I forget to mention The Girl's teacher enjoys the occasional odd field trip?
I find lists like this on occasion. One of my favorites was a list of items: duct tape, rope, Swiss army knife... I couldn't figure out if she was going to kidnap someone or rob a bank.
Is she planning on moving out? What's with the apartment?
that is quite the list. it is baffling.
I can see where the School = Target + lots of Money all go together!
Well, yes, obviously she is going to go look for work in the daycare and hospital industries so she can get money to bail her boyfriend out of jail. When this is accomplished, they will be apartment hunting and then shopping at Target for supplies for their new home. And for a dog which they are going to name Mini Me. And because you have raised her right, they will go to the library and get books to read at the pool when they are not in school.
Obviously.
That is one interesting list!!
Well, at least she is a well rounded random list maker with the library on there. And Target.
My favorite part is the last part with the "boy" and "jail". Wow.
I enjoy that jail is last on the list, right after boy!
As a teacher, I am pleased to see that it is all legible and spelled correctly, and that she realizes that boys and jail go together.
I am most intrigued by the mini me. Does she know Verne Troyer?
Here's my take:
She's going to meet a bad boy in the library at daycare. They'll run away together and get an apartment and decorate it with items from Target with what little money they have. She'll have to drop out of school because of the baby (mini me) and her boyfriend will end up in jail.
You'll have a heart attack and be sent to the hospital.
Just be glad the list doesn't include "Nursing Home".
Oh man. I can't wait for my kids to start writing... what a great find you found. Love it!
lists are the product of a deranged mind...nip it in the bud or else, she might becaoome a manager mom, or organized or some shit like that
I'd be worried about the hospital and jail. LOL
That's hilarious! I think it was a blog post challenge. As in, can you make a story using all these words?
she's probably sitting in her room laughing at you.
I agree with Madge. She's probably leaving these random lists around to mess with your head.
That, or you'd better start a savings account for her bail money. I'm just sayin'.
It is perplexing.....sounds like she is already planning leaving for college...she'll get an apartment need to go to target and need money. By then you all will be in an adult day care or the hospital....she'll meet a boy, he'll get arrested....
The clue, I think, is in the 'mini me'. She's obviously planning to take over the world. And she's going to use the money to buy the necessary supplies at Target. She is also planning for a boy toy to provide day care after school, at the pool, just outside her apartment window. She knows this is dangerous business and she could get hurt and wind up in the hospital, or worse, jail. but she'll go to the library and learn all she needs to know to get out of the hoosegow.
List makes perfect sense to me.
From an undisclosed location in Maplewood, NJ:
Last year, for a 4th grade assignment, my Boy wrote: "The things I fear most are: having to go to school all year long, criminals, and prison."
Both my kids fear jail. Can't explain it. I have never threatened them with it. Really.
At least she remembered Target! Great girl!
Maybe she thinks Mini-Me belongs in jail?
Perhaps the left is the to-do list and the right-hand side is a list of things to avoid...boy, jail, hospital. You just need to get her to move money and Target to the other side and it'll make perfect sense.
HA!!! I love!! I'm a little worried about her but I love it!!!! I don't think you'll ever get a good enough explanation from her either. It will only complicate they mystery.
She's planning to start working as a pool shark, hopefully earning enough money to get an apartment of her own. Then she's going to go to Target to pick up some decor (hey, a girl can't have a bachelorette pad without some style) and maybe swing by the local back alley to get a miniature doppelganger. But since human trafficking is illegal, your daughter clearly expects to go to jail yet continue her studies in a prison school. She's a smart girl.
Love the list! She's got a great mind.
Thanks for the visit. I loved hearing from you.
I hope the Swedish furniture didn't kill you or your weekend.
Hugs!!
:)
That list is awesome. It's a keeper for the scrapbooks to pull out in 20 years and ask about. As long as 'target' means the store of course. She could be moonlighting as a secret agent...
Very funny. But jail?
Hilarious! I've always saved stuff like this and it's fun to pull out- 8 years ago my oldest (whose now 12) aspired to be an ice cream truck driver... now he wants to go to the University of Michigan on a football scholarship.
There's never been a happy medium with him. ;)
This is so cool.
Have you thought about submitting it to http://www.foundmagazine.com/ ?
Just wait til she starts her own blog. Of course all of the above commenters will have a feed, but change our names and profiles.
Boys,Jail and midgets...sounds like a dear diary entry to me.
that's really quite the list...I'm curious about the 'hospital' listing... :)
Her list looks like a stream of consciousness, free association kind of thing. Maybe she's the next James Joyce!
Is she thinking about being a mini you? Or referring to a mini her? Hilarious! I would be worried about the jail thing though.
"Is this a list of things she wants to do over the holiday weekend?"
A boy? She wants to do a boy?
Man, they grow up quick these days huh? Grandma...
I'm willing to bet Mom is a list maker too, no?
As long as it's not a "to do" list, I think you're okay.
...and why were "pool" and "school" on one side by themselves?? I wonder if it was some sort of "pros/cons" type list that we adults sometimes make??hmmm...maybe she was watching something on TV...had some questions and these are her reminders for when the two of you can have some "mother/daughter" time!? This really should be interesting.....
:-D
Maybe it's some kind of vocab list. Maybe she was trying to write down words from something she was looking at like a book or a cartoon.
I don't know. I just look at it and I don't think "list", I think - spelling, or English.
Perhaps I am just a cynic, or so full of myself that I think only can be truly funny, but this list is hilarious and made me laugh. Sooooooo funny!
I have nothing to add expect for that the funniest list EVAH! Did you ask her what it was for or would you rather be left in the dark?
I think it's code, and she works for the mob.
That is the funniest thing I've seen today!
You have got to hang on to this list! Either it will serve as a hilarious remembrance years down the road OR material for analysis.
LOL - the jail thing is a bit disturbing. Do you live in an apartment? Thanks for sharing. :)
