Topic: Through a Child's Eyes

Well, I'm assuming that no one else is going to have time to post this go-round, and since both dubby and I have posted our WildCard submissions (I promise I'll try not to get caught up in tags and titles) I guess we're ready for a new challenge.
In one of my literature classes we just finished reading The House on Mango Street, and now we have an assignment where we have to write a vignette from our childhood, looking through the eyes of a child, which we will then break down and critique as part of our study on Russian Formalism and New Criticism (yuck). So I'm proposing a challenge, since I need some practice with this, that we write a vignette, scene, poem, or short story from the eyes of a child.
I'm excited already.

Topic One: Miscellaneous

Per suggestion, to get things started we won't have a specific prompt or challenge, just post something that you are working on. If you're feeling brave you can try for 3-5 pages, as an enthusiastic member suggested (I'll avoid using real names since this blog is completely public, but you know who you are;-) ), or you can just post what you have (hopefully it's more than a page, but I understand time constraints, so just do what you can). You are free to reply to this post (and of course everyone else's), but when you submit your own work be sure to do it in a new post so that we can see/find it easily.
Can't wait to see what everyone has been working on (or not working on) since last semester!

P.S. I promised my sister that I would giver her credit for the use of her photography on our banner. So if you were, perhaps, busy admiring the banner, credit goes to Violet.
