Grandpa P. took Amanda on a "date" this evening, to see a professional women's basketball game. It's something the two of them have been talking about since Amanda first began showing an interest in the sport. He invited Elisabeth to go, too, but she gave her usual line: "Nah, I'm more into fashion than basketball."
When Grandpa pulled into the driveway, Amanda bolted out the door without so much as a "'Bye, Mom!" She did call from the arena, before the game began, with a report on all the junk food they'd eaten. Then, I didn't hear anything else until Grandpa and Amanda returned. Amanda trudged upstairs, modeled her new t-shirt, and informed me she realized early in the evening that she would be way too exhausted when she got home to tell me about her night, so she used the free pen and sticky notepad she received to write this:
The following is what Amanda wrote-- the way she wrote it-- on a series of sticky notes that comprised the "Lynx's Update":
"So far the Lynx are ahead and ther was a senyors sitasin (senior citizen) dance"
"One of ther best players got hert but ther doing prity good"
"and they played this funny game"
"and now the sun's are a head because they made some realy bid (bad) shot's"
"The Lynx are ceching (catching) up Go Lynx!"
"Ther coch is very prity. and we ate a hool! (whole) thing of cotin candy!"
"The sun's are ahead bye 4"
"The Lynx won!!! 95 to 88"
"WO!OO!"
It appears Amanda needs a little work on spiling and the whole pos's'es's'ive's versus plural thing, but it's still pretty cute.
