“The Woodchip That Was Sad”

▸ ca. mid 2006

▸ Age 6

Okay. This. I can’t believe I tried to draw this out, because it was a dream! I had a dream about a family of woodchips! So random! It happened because of something to do with the woodchips on the playground in kindergarden. I remember. It was around the time I had the loft bed. I’m unsure about the actual plot, as I didn’t write out any words besides the “chapter” titles, and my parents weren’t around to write for me. Actually, looking at this, it’s kind of coming back! So there’s a family of woodchips. Not sure who is who. Obviously the one with the single strand of hair is the baby, the ones with caps and bows are the other children, but yeah. Basically um... The woodchip wearing clothes and a cap is sad. A bee snatches him up and carries him to a girl’s house. The family tries to summon a distracted, humming pelican by using some kind of horn/speaker. The bee drops the woodchip off in the girl’s house. The other woodchips are mad at the pelican for not listening. The pelican flies away up by the water spout, ignoring them. One of the woodchips has an idea. They climb up the water spout into the girl’s house to rescue the woodchip. Then something (?) happens during the rescue and the kidnapped woodchip says he doesn’t want to be rescued as they travel back down the spout. The end. Just kidding, I never finished it. Who knows the ending. It was more detailed of a story my dream.

Have fun trying to read this... Ah, what the heck, I’ll just write a transcript:

Story title: the planets. once there was a planet named jupider no one liked him and he felt sad :( he had no friends. He dicided to go over to the wisest planet. his name was mr. moon. “Mr. Moon” said jupider, how can I make friends.” Mr. Moon said “Try to do nice things for them.” So jupider went over to star jr. and he said “do you need any help” star jr. answered “yes I need help putting on my recidle” jupider said “whats a recidle”? star jr. said “recidle is when you go on stage in front of all sords of planets and stars and sing” star jr. said. “How can I help”? Jupider answered. Star Jr. replied, “you can make my coustume. Here is a pitchure of what it is suposed to look like.” and he handed it to Jupider and he looked at it. it looked like him because there was a ring around it. and it was one of the bigest planets “which planet is it”? Jupider asked. star jr. said “it is............... uh I can’t remember Ill go ask the planet in charge of the recidle.” and away he welt. What do I do now” Jupider muttred to himself “I guess I will go make this coustume.” so he did. Right after he went away, star jr. sl[?] up shouting, “it’s saturn” it’s saturn” “Where is jupider”? Star Jr. said. “I bet he went to make the coustume.” so star jr. went over to his house. And sure anought there he was. Jupider was in the corner sewing a coustume. “Jupider it’s saturn” he said. “oh!’ Jupider said. “and I just have [?] more strings to sew together.” “A......nd DONE”!!!!!!!! “great.” said star jr. Mean while.... on earth.... “Ah!” ”Ah!” ”Ah!” ”Help!” “run for your life!!” “A meator is going to crash in six days!” “Jupider where did you go”? Star Jr. wondered. Jupider went close to the earth because he thought he heard sounds and right behind him was........... A MEATOR! “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” he shouted. Seeing the meator behind him Jupider’s first instinct was to duck. But instead he took a deap breath, put on a oven mitt, streched out his arm, and caught the meator just before it hit the earth. with all his might he hurled the meator back into space. Jupiter then went to the recidle speedy quick, but by the time he got there it was already over. Star Jr. saw Jupiter by the door and pushed his way through the cheering croud, when he got there he asked, “Where have you been” you mised the ridicle. As Jupiter told the story of how he saved the earth from the meator, the croud gathered around and listened intently. When Jupiter was finished with the story, he said “I’m sorry I missed the ricitle”. Star Jr. replied, “It’s okay we video taped it.” Jupiter breathed a sigh of releif. The derector of the ricidle came out of the croud shouting, “will you be in our next ricidle”? Jupiter said, “you bet I will”! The croud lifted Star Jr. And Jupiter into their shoulders shouting, “HIP HIP HORAY JUPITER SAVED THE DAY!!” Jupiter beamed and thought now I have a lot of friends. And he lived hapily ever after. THE END!
