What Josiah appreciates in a friend

The kids did an exercise from Wordsmith Apprentice today, writing application forms for "unusual jobs" such as "friend" or "hot air balloonist". Tessa wrote application forms for the positions of "old person" and "dog walker" and had me fill them out. Apparently I am unsuitable for either position. Josiah gave me permission to copy his application form here:




Top Quality Friend

Do you do stuff against global warming:

Wordsmith Apprentice then asked the kids, do you think it's good that we don't have to "apply" to be someone's friend? To which, Josiah answered a definite "Yes".



PS Josiah asks me to mention that he wrote the application form by hand, then I (Lisia) typed it up, then Josiah edited it on the computer.
