Luke's Reading Response to Harriet the Spy

We've been reading Harriet the Spy and Luke wrote this week's Reading Response to it, for school. In answer to the question, "If  you were a character in your book, what would you do?" Luke wrote:

If I were Harriet, I wouldn't write such mean things about the other children. If I were the mom, I wouldn't go out so much. If I were the dad, I wouldn't hire chefs and babysitters all day. If I were the chef, I wouldn't be so grumpy. If I were the chef (again), I'd mind my own business.

He's more like Harriet than he realizes. Which I love. (I guess he'd limit himself to writing mean things about grown-ups...)
