Maeve Minute

MAEVE: I want to write about school!  Well at school, math is very boring.  And here is something that gets my brain moving and that is Mad Minute.

DADDY: What is that?

M: It’s like a half sheet of paper and it’s math problems and you have to finish it in a minute because well I don’t really know.  It’s like a whole sheet cut in half and I don’t know how many math problems are there because I did not count it.  I like Mad Minute, kind of.

And other things that’s fun? Once I got to draw something on the Magic Picture Machine.  And it was really fun.

D: Is that like the chalk board?

M: No.  It’s like a magic machine you can write on it but only with a special kind of marker pen that’s really cool.  There’s a light that shines, like, up and then the light goes into a mirror and then onto a screen and you can see what I write.  We don’t have a chalk board anyway, daddy.

Can I say a joke daddy?  Then let’s do it.  How did the fish laugh?  It laughs out bubbles!  From its mouth.  You probably know that.

By the way, on Saturday, we went ice skating!  And daddy went with us.  And my cousins and aunts and uncle went with us too.  And for one fact?  I looooo-OOOO-ooooove skating!  And then when we were ice skating?  I was skating really good, but I fell over. I fell on my knee a lot of times.  And... um…

D: How about you say you'll be a skater in the Olympics?

M: No...

D: How about you say you’re a better skater than the Sabres?

M: No...

D: How about you can’t wait to go see a Sabres game with your daddy?

M: Okay!  Here’s what it is.  I can’t wait to go with my daddy to see... a... game... of... BASKETBALL!  Hahaha!  Gotcha daddy!
