Elliot says...

Why shouldn't a seven-year-old have a blog? A father poses questions and a son answers directly, honestly, and candidly with the directness, honesty, and candor that only a seven-year-old can bring. Dictated and moderated by AmsterdamAsp , these are the words of Elliot himself: simple and complex observations of the world from the mind of a six-year-old...

What do you want to write about crocodiles?

Well, the crocodiles were so short that they almost ate the men in the boat. Seventy-fourteen years, a crocodile was too fast. The rowers were faster than the crocodile. First the crocodile went faster. The crocodile had a really fast super-hero boat. And he pushed it really fast. And it goes. The End.

What are you going to do for your birthday?

I don't know. It hasn't happened yet.

[What would you like to do?]

I would like a Superman cake. I'm going to have a Superman cake. Mommy is making it.

I'm going to go swimming with my friends: Tobias and Olivia and Dennis. D-e-n-n-i-s. Dennis is my friend.

What about vampire bats?

vampire bat [typed by Elliot].

Well, vampire bats suck blood. They also suck their own blood. I think my book said they also suck in the rainforest -- their own blood in the rainforest. Well, at night they come out. I think they live in leaves.

[What part of the world do vampire bats live in?]

The rainforest! The Amazon rainforest! There were some army ants there marching by. Whenever they heard a creaking sound, they were not so nice. The End.

Why have you suddenly become so interested in blogging again?

Well, I just like comments. I like comments. And I like your hat.

Let me write about sharks. Now, I want to write "sh" -- shark [typed by Elliot].

The sharks were really big. They eat seals, turtles, penguins, and even other sharks! And, then, sharks do not die very often. They have really sharp teeth. And they're the most biggest, biggest -- they're almost as big as a car! And the shark can't get two turtles when they're on land. So the shark cannot get those. The End.

You want to write a blog about dinosaurs?

Dinosaur bones! The dinosaur bones were about thirteen-fourteen big. First, they still were alive. Then, they falled. And then they were dead. And then they jumped with the bones, and then it fell.

And then a farmer usually comes. And then he takes the bone and he looks at it, and he makes it into a dinosaur skeleton! And they built a real one too. With a real head and real legs. And it was real big.

It was his whole body except his tail. His tail stretched so high that it almost touched the ceiling. But the ceiling is erg hoog [very high]. Have you ever seen a dinosaur in a house that could put his tail up to the ceiling?

You reallly want to write again? OK -- what?

boat [typed by Elliot himself]

He searched to find, and found a cow! Then, that cow -- but he, he wanted to buy. Then he went to the store, and then he bought a bat. He tried to hit but no one says he thought it was an egg. But he kept it as an egg.

And the fisher searched to find a fish. But all that he could find was mosses hanging in the sea. And then a cowboy started climbing. He searched over the ground. He found a cookie in the grass. The grass was on the meadow. He looked into the sky, but all that he could see was the blue sky. And all the birds he saw.

A policeman traveled by. He searched to find a bad guy. He found a bad guy to take to jail. He put him in jail, and then he went.

The End.
