Working on Small Kid Time Stories

Well, not exactly "small kid." More like Junior High. I'm trying to tunnel back to 7th and 8th Grade at Punahou. My first "real" writing experience was winning the 7th Grade Short Story Contest at Punahou. I wrote about a talking parrot of all things. The parrot ends up getting a crush on his owner's girlfriend, then seduces her by mimicking the owner's voice and rubbing her with his wing. A girl who ended up working for Geffen (SKG) came up and said, "That story was neat-o!"
Then I asked her to go to the Punahou Carnival with me.
