On this day in 1832, author Lewis Carroll was born. His most famous piece of work was Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Who is your favorite character in this book and why?

Trick question. The answer is none of them, because this book was banned in Hunan, China on account of "animals should not use human language." As always, I'm siding with the Chinese.This has been my policy for some time.

On this day in 1860, the first aerial photo in the US was taken from a balloon in Boston. What are the advantages or disadvantages to aerial photography?

Yes! Finally the question I've been waiting for. Kids are always so busy talking about the advantages of aerial photography, but I've found they rarely stop to really think about the disadvantages.

September 15th is “National Make a Hat Day.” Create your own hat and draw it on your paper. Describe your hat and explain who would be most likely to use your hat.

Here is my hat:
It's pretty good. Who would be most likely to use my hat? Oh, I don't know, maybe awesome bros who want to stop making hates for once?

Also, use a hat? No. Wear a hat, Daily Writing Prompts. Wear a hat. "Oh hey, can I use that hat?" "No, I'm using it right now. For wearing. The only thing you can really use a hat for. That and drawing names out of when you're trying to decide something fairly."

National Make A Hat Day, this goes without saying, but you are kind of stupid.

September 10th is “Swap Ideas Day.” Today or during the week, swap ideas with someone. This could be a friend, sibling, parent, teacher, neighbor, or anyone. And the idea can be about anything…just swap an idea!

NO WAY ARE YOU KIDDING I'M NOT LETTING ANYONE ANYWHERE NEAR MY IDEAS!

September is "National Library Card Sign-Up Month.” Do you have your own library card? (If you don’t, you should visit with your parents about getting a card.) Why do you think the public libraries are so important to our communities?

I totally DO have my own library card, so I can go gently touch books or awkwardly use my laptop in a confined space anytime I want.

p.s. "Visit with your parents"? Why do you talk like that, DWP?

p.s.s. Seriously, someone do the kid in this picture a solid and tell him libraries have study carrels and also tables.
