The Adventures of Jon Hillenbrand

My mom forwarded this story to me that I wrote when I was 8 years old…

 

THE ADVENTURES OF JON HILLENBRAND
One day I climbed up my tree and saw a race track.  I was there yesterday.  I was looking at my racing car.  The racing car was red and had a stripe down the middle of it.  My friends were tuning the engine.  I was getting my suit on.  Then the race was beginning.  I got in my race car.  Then a man waved a flag, so I pressed the gas.  “They’re off!” said a guy in the stands.  The race cars were going so fast that the tires were making a black mark on the track.  Then the race cars were coming to the finish line.  So I kicked the gas pedal and won the race.  I go a trophy too.  Then I woke up.  It must have been a dream. I was in my room.  But there was a trophy in my room. Then I went outside, climbed up my tree, and saw a bulldozer.

Regular readers of my blog already know that I imagine myself to be fluent in several foreign languages including Russian, Spanish, French, Southie, Klingon and of course Huttese. But I use the word fluent to mean, “I know enough to get myself in trouble.” The drawback of my foreign language…

Hey blog.  It’s like 3am.  I am obviously not going to fall asleep any time soon despite a killer-busy day today which ended at 10:30pm.  I don’t know what PM stands for but it feels like post mortem after the longer days. So I was laying in bed just now…
