I'm not sure it counts, but when I was about seven I had chicken pox. I got bored with reading the Little Golden Books I had, and with coloring, and I wrote something like, "I have chicken pox. I am bored." Then I practiced ways to write my name if I were an author. My mother saved the composition book I used, and I came across it a few months ago. I remembered writing about the chicken pox, but practicing the names really cracked me up!
