The Very Funny Bear: On This Day in 2005

Some of you may have seen this one on my Facebook, but I feel like it deserves to exist here anyway. This is a short story I wrote in my first grade journal on this day in 2005. I hope you enjoy it!

The Very Funny Bear
The bear is very funny. His name is John the Bear. I like him a lot. He is eating the little girl. Isin't the girl cute. He is selesh. You can't beleve all the things he eats. His wifes name is Sera Bear. She is funny too. When they fight they have funny fights. When they dance they do a funny dance. When they sing a song its a funny song. They are relly funny. And I like funny.

The journal entry was written based upon this picture:
 

Analysis:
I would like to start by quoting the commentary I wrote when I posted this on my Facebook: "And I was beginning to wonder why I tend to befriend funny people (with weird senses of humor) and poor spelling". Additionally, I would like to point out that my little six-year-old brain went for the most violent route possible, rather than choosing the equally rational interpretation that the little girl was brushing the bear's teeth. I also made him a selfish bear who I strangely found funny. I don't know what exactly first grade Lydia was thinking...
