      I do private academic coaching and I asked my 5th grade client to write a haiku about Santa Claus and this is what she came up with.

        @Rusty-Vandura I'm quite fat and I still exist.

          This is some existential conundrum. Does a child's belief make you real instead of just a fantasy? Can you be FAT if you don't exist?

              Are we talking real people or fantasy people? Is someone real making that determination? Is fatness a state of mind or is there some standard scale?

                    @chariotoflove You need another syllable in that first line.

                      You really should conspire with her parents to convince her (until the afternoon of the 25th, maybe?) that she's not getting any presents this year. LOL

                        @davesaddiction If you knew this child as I do, you might not bother.

                          Nope, though I live in the South now, I was raised in the land where "real" has two syllables.

                              @davesaddiction I just don't think she'd be open to it.

                                @chariotoflove I think that it's more to do with numeracy than literacy...
