Could You Help Me With a Project

My daughter, Violette, has a project where she has to read a poem to people and have them sign to say they heard her tell them the poem. She read it to a bunch of people, but she needs a bunch more to accomplish her goal. Will you watch this video and then just leave a comment saying that you saw it? The thing is, we have to turn her project in pretty shortly (like in 7.5 hours). I know. Late homework. Remember this as either the parent OR the kid? Just leave a comment saying that you watched it, if you’re willing to participate. Thanks!

    What we parents will do for our kids!

    I loved this break in my day.

    Go Jack-O-Lanterns.

    Fabulous, Violette! I watched it: I laughed, I cried. I was also reminded at the end that you love being silly just like our 7-year-old girl.

    The poem was quite creative but now I am afraid to eat my pumpkin pie this weekend.

    You should be on Dad's blog more often.

    I watched the video of Violette reciting her poem about the jack-o-lantern. Good luck reaching your goal ( how many people did you want to get as a final number?)

    Wow, Violet, it looks like a lot of people helped you out right away–545 so far! I have three children and I'd never heard that poem before. You did a great job of memorizing it.

    I can't wait to hear what you have to say about turkeys!

    Hey Violette! That was a great poem you wrote! I enjoyed watching it, and really liked the pumpkin pie part (Maybe because I am a big fan of pumpkin pie!)

    Watched the video. Will be interesting to see how Violette uses social media for other things in the future :)

  • shawna88

    Hi! I saw your video Violette and think it's pretty cool. The ending rocked. :-)

  • suzyoge

    My little kids (2 & 5) don't have any good jokes for Trick or Treating on Halloween, so I hope you won't mind if they “borrow” your poem to tell people here in the Netherlands! Your poem is going global!

    I think it's a great poem, you did very well. Congratulations for your work from Spain.

  • randyredmond

    I watched Violette recite “Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern” and I must say – I was strangely convicted since my head is also empty and I fear I will someday too end up in a pumpkin pie. Yet still – quite enjoyable! Great read V!!!
