So here's a piece I wrote and what the kids asked. I can't find where I rewrote this so the lesson ended here.
When my brother Myrven and I were very young, possibly 4 or 5 , we went to stay with Grandma and Grandpa for a few days. in the summer.We were both terribly active little boys We were into everything. We ran through all parts of the house. We went through all the buildings in the farmyard. We went over all the farm machinery and moved all parts that would move. We ran over Grandpa's wood pile and that was really a no no as Grandpa's woodpile was piled very neatly with not one stick of wood out of place.
Here we are at about the age in the writing.
Of course, we tended to get very dirty after a day of these activities and were always totally exhausted at night and went to sleep instantly.
One day we saw Grandpa calling us and he had a rather large new tree branch in his hand. We were both totally terrified as our father would often find a switch from a tree branch to give us a spanking. We also couldn't believe that our extremely nice Grandpa would ever give us a spanking. We slowly walked over to Grandpa. Grandpa wasn't mad. He sat us down and stated to cut up the branches with his knife. Grandpa made two whistles from the tree branch and as you guessed it two little boys were absolutely thrilled with whistles created from a tree branch
Now I wonder if Grandpa knew what was going through our minds as he called us?

Now here are the questions
Kyle_ liked the ending
Brock - Where farm?
Jer - Is Grandpa living?
Jag_ Tell more on family
Jas- Details about making whistle
Randie- Dirt- lecture
Jeff- Grandpa's name
Brett - describe farmyard
Luke- Animals
Curtis- How got to the farm?
Billy - Explain excitement
So since the kids go t to ask questions , my readers can ask questions. It will be interesting to see the differences.
