Kiwi Kids and Friendship Isle

[firefightermichelle]

I am a Kiwi kid thrown into a foreign land at a school-age.  Well, my 
foreign land was the States ... but they don't speak english here 
<grin>  I was in Standard 1 when I left NZ and I had just turned 7.  
When I got over here, they wanted to put me into 1st grade, because 
of my age.  Then they realized I was ahead of all the 1st grade 
material and thankfully put me into 2nd grade.  Of coruse, I was 
mostly ahead of the second grade stuff too, but that's beside the 
point.  I actually hated most of elementary school in the states, 
because everyone made fun of my accent.  Bastards.  But I'm ok with 
it all now :)

And now ... the Friendship Isle theme song (with apologies to 
Gilligan and company):

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of an awesome trip,
that started from this SHIPping port,
because of a nitty pick.

The mate was a  cute, red-haired boy,
the skipper had a scar,
5 passengers set sail that day 
to get SHIPs afar ... to get SHIPs afar.

The banter started getting rough,
the not-a-SHIP was tossed,
if not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the no-SHIP would be lost ... the no-SHIP would be lost.

The craft set ground on the shore of this,
uncharted desert isle with:
Amy, and Amber too
Tabouli and Professor Snape,
Hermione, the Boy Who Lived and his Wheezie,

Here on Friendship Isle!!!
