		<description>Remember this talent comes from all the times you&#039;ve told her to do xxxx and she&#039;s come up with a good story about why she shouldn&#039;t have to do that.

I agree with Amy about a good murder. I have 2 daughters and sometimes ya just want to knock them to the moon (note, son is in danger of becoming an Apollo astronaut too) - especially as they get &quot;creative&quot; about why they haven&#039;t made curfew, done the chores or their schoolwork or gotten of the computer.  :yes: 

We should have the greatest generation of creative writers ever produced! What with text messaging and IMing, they now &quot;write&quot; all the time. Shame they can&#039;t spell.  :no:</description>

		<description>I think the vote is pretty much unanimous, Morgan is going to be a GREAT writer.  I really enjoyed her &quot;project.&quot;  I&#039;d have given her a 100 too!  What she lacked in identification, she made up for it double in creativity.</description>

		<description>Oh, how I remember those leaf collections when our son and daughter did them. I only wish there had been digital cameras back then because the teachers here never returned the collections to the kids for future reference. Your daughter is definitely very creative with her writing. I&#039;m sure you&#039;re very proud.</description>

		<description>Yes, definitely creative!  Keep reminding yourself of that when she&#039;s about 16 and you really want to strangle her - it&#039;s going to happen - trust me! I have three girls - and they are all very &#039;creative&#039; in many many aspects! 
NONE of which will probably help them along in life, but they are -at the very least- entertaining and offer a good laugh when really a good murder is in order! LOL</description>

		<description>Morgan, you certainly deserved a 100 on that paper. It was creative, funny, entertaining and very well written. I hope you never stop writing. Thank you. It brightened my day to read it. (And you do have a beautiful smile!)</description>
