Surprise ending

For our most recent 2nd grade writing prompt, the students were instructed to write about something in nature that they could describe well using all their senses.

Here is Vincent's response:

There was a mom bird with eggs. She went to get food but when she was getting food, the eggs hatched. The new birds was in my backyard. But two weeks later I ate them and they taste good and sound good and looked cute.

The End

by Vincent

While desperately trying to surpress my laughter, I ask Vincent, "This is a make-believe story, right?"

"No, it's real."

Hmmm... Still haven't figured this one out.
