Fourth Grade - very popular on the playground at Agape School in Winter Park, FL. Which just goes to prove... Just because you send your kid to Christian School... Doesn't mean they aren't going to be exposed to stuff you'd rather them not see/hear.

8th or 9th Grade. I can't remember which. It could have been 10th grade when I heard it for the first time. See commentary above.

And the "Alice Apron".

Once upon a time a girl had so much vintage fabric
she didn't know what to do.
So she cut it all out and stitched it together
and said to herself, "Now that is MUCH better".
But still she was blue for she had no more room
to keep her creations.
So she packed it up and mailed it forthwith
from Florida to Texas as a surprise gift.
Little did she know that that little thing
would be one tiny spark and from it a business would spring.

Stephanie was the recipient of the apron in the "poem". I took pictures of it and here they are:

I've been so thrilled to watch her progress as an entrepreneur and sewist. The Alice Apron is - in my opinion - one of her best works. From concept to creation, she's really captured the feeling of Alice in Wonderland but with a mature twist.
