A few weeks ago Charlie had to do an oral report on a famous person. The teacher assigned Charlie Elvis Presley for his report. According to Charlie, not only did he have to find a book to read about Elvis and write a report but also give a SPEECH for a SPEECH grade!) (emphasis Charlie’s)
This is how the conversation regarding research on Elvis Presley went.
Mom – Did you find a book at the {school} library on Elvis Presley today?
Charlie – No. There are no books written about Elvis Presley. He’s not famous.
Mom – …. stunned silence…..
Charlie – what?
Mom – er…did you ask Ms. B (the school librarian) for help in finding a book about Elvis Presley? There are lots and lots of books about him. He is really famous.
Charlie – No. Mr. S (his teacher) gave me some stuff to read. BUT I’m telling you, Elvis Presley is NOT famous!

Totally made me laugh, once I got over being stunned speechless. My dad made Charlie listen to Elvis songs on the radio.
