Second Grade Journal entry

June 2, 1992

I wish I could fly this summer. I wish I could fly this summer because I could see what it looks like high up. And because I could fly into space and see how big the stars are. I could frighten bad people away. I could go under water to get a fish. I could be friends with the birds. I could fly to the store or to my friends house. I could be a kite if someone did not have one. I could play on top of the clouds. And I could give little kids rides.

I am just all over the place with my flight. I love how I completely disregard the fact that there is no oxygen in space and how flying underwater can already be accomplished with the use of flippers. Have you ever swam with flippers? It's amazing. You believe that you are the fastest swimmer ever and it is really disappointing how slow you go when you take them off.
