Jack's Story

Last night at Jack's Parent Teacher Conference, we got Jack's first publication of the year from writing workshop. As I read his story, I was surprised by how much Jack remembers about NC. We moved to Ohio when he was three. It was a sweet story & my eyes teared up as I read it. I have no idea why he thinks we moved 5 times. He always lived in the same house we brought him home to. I think he remembers John & i telling him about all the places we lived before he was born. I thought it was definitely worthy of a blog posting. So here it is..When I was Young in North Carolina" by Jack Demos

When I was young in North Carolina, I followed my dad with a fake lawnmower when he mowed.



When I was young in North Carolina, my sister was born. Her name is Madeline. She likes to be called Maddie. I drove in my aunts car to the hospital.

When I was young in North Carolina. I had neighbors named Ruby & Delten. I rode my tricycle into their black driveway.





When I was young in North Carolina, we moved a few times. I think 5 times, but I'm not sure. They were all great houses.




When I was young in North Carolina, my neighbors Ruby & Delten had a black cat. I forget the cats name.
When I was young in North Carolina, I moved from NC to Ohio. But I always looked forward to a little trip back for a visit.
