Today is one of those days with not one minute to spare, so in lieu of a “normal” slice I’m going to record a few of my seven-year-old daughter, Lily’s, ideas. I asked her what I should write and this is what she said:
1. Your first day of college
2. Your first grade teacher
3. “How about a story about someone who finds a nest of dragon eggs and gets to raise the dragons?”
4. “You should write about skiing because you loooooove skiing.”
5. Write a story about a platypus
6. A poem
7. Write a Harry Potter story
8. Brooklyn
9. “You could write about something that’s sort of like your favorite movie, The Goonies.”
10. “Someone who built a time-machine who traveled back in time.”
11. Ninjas
Write Another One 
I vote for something like Goonies (great movie) and Ninjas! What a great idea to ask your daughter for ideas. I, too, have a 7 year old daughter. I wonder what she would suggest!

Please write about a platypus! Also, I think I should share this list with my students who are slicing… 🙂 Lovely!

What a great idea, Beth! Love the ideas– most intriguing is the “Ninjas” idea, where’d that come from?

I end up asking people throughout the day for ideas- maybe one day I will collect a list like this. Great idea!

I think you should write a story about a platypus who is also a ninja! I love the idea of asking your daughter what you should write about. Next time I am pressed for time and struggling for ideas, I’m going to ask my six year old son.

My kids are such a big part of my slices. It only makes sense to ask them directly for some direction! I plan to steal this great idea. So fun!
