					<description><![CDATA[Author&#8217;s NoteThis first story is dated Feb. 1991, putting my age at 6 years old. The handwriting (see the scanned page) suggests it was ghostwritten by my mother. Although the second story is not dated, it was likely written around the same time. Joe the Rock It was a hot day. Joe was happy to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Author&#8217;s NoteThese stories were likely ghostwritten by my mother. The title of the first story is in her handwriting. My dad’s handwriting in the corners dates both pieces &#8220;1991.&#8221; I would have been 6 years old. Scroll to the end to see the original pages.

					<description><![CDATA[Author’s NoteGrowing up, my younger brother and I collaborated on silly stories. My mom or my dad would provide a basic premise, and then we would go wild with slapstick comedy, eccentric characters, and an explosion or two for good measure.
