Cheese Is The Key To Life!

Taking a page from what will soon be known as the "Sweatpantsmom who?" files, I give you another one of Kiyomi's brilliant journal entries. (Really, I don't mind being upstaged by a seven-year old, although the phone calls from her agent late at night are really starting to get on my nerves.)

Cheese is the ultimate key to life. It has [style.] It has fame and even more. It is very healthy for you so [eat] it a lot! There are so many wonderful versions...except for the evil [cheddar] and american cheese! *evil music plays*

They have shallow holes that lead to the bottom of it. The cheese is a wonderful experience and gives you ideas about art. It makes you think about a [bologna] and cheese (not [cheddar] or american) sandwich and some [delicious] [Cheeze-its] And most of all it's...delishish! Thats the whole point of why I'm telling you this! This is why cheese is the key to life!

(And for you skeptics who think that I could even make this up, here are the pages from her journal.)

  1. This is complete genius. I can 't compete with this sort of thing. Stay on the right side of her, she is going to make a fortune and you could spend your dotage in the Mediterranean villa she buys you as a tax write-off.

  2. If she's anything like her mom, down the road that's gonna read, "cheese and wine". hopefully it isn't as soon as 4th grade. Nobody like a 4th grade wino.

    She is rather brilliant. I give you that.

  3. All parents think that their children are brilliant, but you have proof!

    btw, what's so evil about cheddar and american? You're not raising her to love those french cheeses, are you? :)

  4. Brilliant! Kiyomi's favorite must be Swiss, the one with the holes in the bottom of it. She has much better handwriting, spelling and sentence structure than most seven year olds I think. I know my son can't write like that. She could be the next big thing!

  5. This really is absolutely brilliant. She most certainly is YOUR daughter. Too funny. And very possibly, the greatest homage to cheese that I've ever read. I love it.

  6. How cute!! I'm totally with her - cheese IS the key to life. Right on, Kiyomi!

    My brother was quoted in a local paper answering the question, "Ketchup or mustard?" by saying "Mustard. It gives me an enormous sense of well-being." He was 20 yrs. old. You should ask Kiyomi to write about that next...

  7. Cheese is the key to life! YES!
    (My son feels the same way as he walks around calling everything cheese.)
    But, cheddar? evil? Put some on some fries for her (if you let her eat 'em) and she will Loooove cheddar cheese...there's nothing like cheese fries...

  8. She's a girl after my own heart. I could (and do!) eat cheese daily. (Hmmm...could have something to do with the pesky 10 pounds I can't lose.) Love her spelling of "delishish." I think I hear the Kraft marketing execs calling...

  11. send her to italy. right now. i'll show her what cheese is really about!

    ReplyDelete
  12. LOL= i want to live off cheese and never get fat!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think that my 16 year old son would agree as he inhales a 1 kilogram block of the stuff (he likes the mozarella/cheddar mix) every week. An expensive habit. But cheaper than weed ...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh god, I do love cheese.

    This is too hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I bought some parmesan with cracked pepper the other day and used it for snacks . I loved it. Yumm.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Your kid is brilliant! Mama T's right. It should be on a T-Shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  17. LOL! She's one smart cookie. And discriminating taste buds if she's not into the cheddar or american cheese. Is she more a brie kind of girl? ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  18. obviously she's a born blogger... so when are you going to give her her own blog? :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Running to store RIGHT NOW to get baguette...drunken goat cheese...ta-mah-toes and radishes! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...........

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow! I love reading my seven-year-old's stuff. He was voted best writer in Kindergarten. Sigh. Gotta love those kids...

    ReplyDelete
  21. Cheese is the key to life. You have a smart one there.

    Hope she doesn't discover the wine to go with it anytime soon!

    ReplyDelete
  22. *evil music plays*
    ok, your kid is WAY too good a writer. she needs a blog.

    fabulous (and so very, very true)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Kudos to you for breeding a future blogger with discerning cheese tastes.

    ReplyDelete
  24. "They have shallow holes that lead to the bottom of it."

    This is my favorite line. Very deep.

    P.S. Love your new header! Two of my fav foods there.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am thinking she deserves a trip over to melody's shop, to explore the many cheese options available to her.
    I will definitely be forwarding the link to Melody. To me, it has a bit of a music lyric vibe. Maybe Rigel ought to put it to music and sing it at his next gig.

    Brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  26. She is a genius and that is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Plus, I agree 100% (except for the "Cheddar is evil" thing.) Has she met Brie yet? Oh, I cannot wait for the journal entries inspired by Brie.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I agree with her. Cheese is the key to life, and that's all I have to say about that.

    You've got a future copywriter on your hands! Send her to me in a few years; I'll hook her up.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Why she be buggin' on the cheddar? I mean, sure, the Kraft variety, meh, but - cheddar can be the bomb, so tell her to quit frontin'.

    I look forward to further installments. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  29. You have done well, Mama. I salute you - with my mojito.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love this so much. She is a fantatsic writer and I am insanely jealous.
    Gotta love the cheese. Makes me want a toasted cheese sandwich immediately!

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's been said, obviously, but bears saying again: this is a writer of rare insight and talent.

    Cheese *is* the key to life. She speaks the truth, and speaks it well.

    ReplyDelete
  32. She should start a blog. She's already got the title!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hahaha...a future writer in the making!

    ReplyDelete
  34. oh. my. lord.

    that's perfect proof that children are THE BEST at expressing themselves.

    i mean, come ON! it's delishish! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Good grief, I love that girl.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm with her on American cheese, that stuff is nasty!

    Your kid is hilarious. I wonder where she gets it from. (remembering almost choking to death on AIR after reading one of your last comments on my blog)

    Yeah, I think I know where she gets it from.

    ReplyDelete
  37. She's got some serious talent there. YOu know if she started writing for Saturday Night Live, the show would actually be funny again! I can't wait to see what she's writing in 10 years!

    ReplyDelete
  38. OMG! Right on, sistah! Cheese IS the key...to EVERYTHING! I am a HUGE fan of cheese. One look at my rear and you'll see it's true, LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well, here's to cheese!

    ReplyDelete
  40. How friggin cute! Cheese makes everything better. :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Aha! This is why she is so gassy. What a funny kid.
    Please tell her favorite cheese, so I can run to Costco and send her a table sized wheel of cheese. (not cheddar)

    ReplyDelete
  42. That's HILARIOUS. I love the *evil music plays*. I'm sure you know it already, but that kid is a genius.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I am loving the cheese even more! Go girl!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Delishish! That's my new favorite word. You guys should trademark it :)

    And seriously, the bacon and eggs in
    your header drives me crazy. Everytime I leave here, I dream of going to Denny's.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Chees is the king in our house, along with a healthy dose of garlic.

    ReplyDelete
  46. OMG-Brilliant. If this is what she is writing now...wow, just wow. Ooh! And I want a tshirt too!!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. She's right, the key to life and world cheese, er peace.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Wow! That's just great and so well written! Isn't it wonderful the things we learn from our children? That is too cute and a wonderful memory to have & share.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Damn straight! I don't know where I'd be now without cheese. Seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  50. A girl after my own heart. I never met a cheese I didn't like, but I'm not a huge fan of the cheddar myself. Clearly she should be working for the dairy council.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Aah, she's brilliant! The part about the the "American" cheese was especially poignant, as processed cheese is pure evil.

    The snippet about the "bologna" disturbed me though, so I'm just going to pretend that I didn't read that part ;p.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Life is better with cheese. Absolutely.

    ReplyDelete
  53. This has "exotic cheese ad campaign" written all over it... or maybe just "How to impress adults by using asterisks correctly." Either way, very incisive!

    ReplyDelete
  54. That is hilarious! Amazing. I did believe you, but I have to admit that the journal pages made it even funnier - seeing those words in a child's handwriting.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I am only glad your daughter is addressing this serious issue.

    Let's campaign ... American Cheese ... It's Na-ChO cheese; it's disgusting. So stinkin' shiny and it's crazy, clingy static wrapper. That is enough to lose me as a consumer.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oh god I think I'm going to die laughing and my husband is going to lock my mortal remains away so that I can never come back to life because I'm laughing so hard!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I smiled and giggled, but more than that I thought, "OHMYGOD GET THAT KID AN AGENT!" Seven years old and she writes brilliantly. Fabulous imagination.

    And now a few words to her mother: GOOD JOB!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I LOVE SEVEN YEAR OLDS!! I'm biased, being in possession of one myself. Your seven year old just made my day. *evil music plays* HAH!

    ReplyDelete
  59. It's pretty amazing that this came from a 7-year old. She sounds very mature and intelletual for her age.

    ReplyDelete
  60. well, she certainly writes better than me. better start shopping publishing houses...

    ReplyDelete
  61. THAT was too good! I am inspired to become poetic about some food product! Maybe Salsa?

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm with Lin, get that kid an agent. She is destined for greatness...I'm thinking a Tina Fey for the next generation. Wow. Impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  63. While I agree cheese is great. You read her journal?

    ReplyDelete
  64. AAAHHHH!!! That is just too much! Too funny AND brilliant! She's going to be syndicated, I can feel it...
