"Welcome to When I Grow Up I Want to be a Sturgeon"
and other wrong things kids write.

Learning "write from wrong" can be so confusing for kids. Often the results are laugh-aloud funny, unintentionally clever, or accidentally wise. Read some of the gems that author Gini Graham Scott collected from teachers across the globe; share some of the "wise words" your own children, grandchildren, or students have tickled you with over the years. Afterall, the most strange and wonderful things often come from the minds of children.

Only a child could write with certainty and confidence:

"Dear Ms. Williams, youo ar da best teecher i evere head."

Only kid logic could produce this statement:

"Don't bite the hand that...looks dirty."
