permission to speak freely says my son. Granted say I ( we like to watch Star Trek) Last week we went on a field trip to the holocaust museum . I don't recall signing a permission slip says I. My son then got out a piece of paper and wrote my name. 

I can write like you eh. Looks like your writing  anyway the teacher can't tell the difference, just like you sometimes I want to know stuff, I believe the Germans did all that stuff you know but how can we talk about the Nazis when we killed a whole pile of our Native people so how are we any better then the Nazis. Do the German kids go to a Native museum to see what we did.  Why do Black people hate the Jews. Now I understand they may hate white people in general or people from the South like Alabama and Mississippi.  They used to lynch black people for no reason. Now if you killed a kid maybe I can understand lynching.  We got a German kid at our school he is an exchange student.  Ryan got suspended for saluting the German kid . You are not allowed to salute the German kid or call him a Kraut. Is that like calling a gay kid a fag . But Ryan gets to go swimming I want to go swimming with Ryan so can I salute the German kid so I can get suspended too.  oh yeah I got to write an essay about Anne Frank. Can you help me If you don't want too I can always ask Steve's mother . She writes all Steve's essays. 

Grandpa came from France right, so that makes me French don't it. So what if the Nazis want to kill all the French people. I ain't going to no gas chamber and I ain't hiding in no attic. I am going to get me a big machine gun and start mowing them Nazis down. Its ok to kill Nazis right especially if they want to throw you in the gas chamber.  I was talking to Grandma and she says that French had a resistance to fight the Nazi's and kill em.  So is the French killing the Nazis the same as the Iraqis killing the Americans?  We have this Iraqi kid in our math class. He is pretty smart too. They have a war protest down town. I am going go. When you were kid didn't you protest the Vietnam war.   War huh what is it good for say it say it good god ya'all.  Grandma showed me a picture of you when you were my age. You looked pretty stupid. You were a hippie right.  didn't you have records. Steve's mom has a record player and records. We plugged it in and played some it was hilarious.

Next week we got another field trip to the zoo . I can go to the zoo right. Can I have five bucks. Can you sign my permission slip They got this new Panda bear from China Ling Ling I want to see that. Can I have supper at Steve's house they invited me. To night is taco night.
