In sixth grade when we had to do some creative writing assignment, and my friend Jack wrote about a detective named Thesaurus Johnson who "liked to try to find ways to use fancy words while solving the case." And my teacher said that he wasn't allowed to do that because it made no sense - no one would be named that. What a world we could have lived in, where the Detective Thesaurus Johnson series had taken off

Right?? That's such an interesting story for a 6th grader to come up with on their own. That teacher was in the wrong
"uncreative" writing might have been a better term... or "creative but only in the approved ways, which we won't describe in advance"... how frustrating
I'm pretty sure I just more or less lifted the major plot points of Pay it Forward for this assignment because I had just watched it for the first time, so all I know is I have two points of data against anything interestingly creative. I'm still bitter about it! Detective Thesaurus Johnson the book series would have been a great, fantastic, awesome, brilliant, and fun one!
