My 13 year old son had to write a Family Tree report for school some months back. And what he came up with was......let's say "creative". We had him change it to be a little more factual. But I saved the first draft of it, just because it was rather awesome in it's own way.
I'm just going to put this here for posterity.

Connor Robel’s Family Tree Report 2013 (1st Draft)
My family mostly came from the countries bordering the
Northern Atlantic which includes Scotland, United Kingdom, Ireland, East
Europe, Hungary, and other countries.
They all came on schooners and frigate ships. Some of them were poor and came to America to
work or own farms. While some other
people came to America almost as wealthy as the Queen of England.
The Putz’s were the first to come to America. Of course, to actually get to America, they
had to sail past the Statue of Liberty.
After that, they fled to Michigan to start a new life on a farm. Of course, in 1913’s storm of the century,
the Putz’s barn almost collapsed because of the 67 mile per hour winds. The Putz’s survived the gale but at a cost of
their barn.
Arnold Edward Feher was married to Jean Francis McCann, but
later served as an ambulance driver during World War II. Years after that ordeal serving the Army, he
went into retirement for the rest of his life.
Dying in 2009, the end of a veteran.
One of the dominant traits passed on are us having no widow’s
peak for our hairlines.

I rather like the part about the Putz family 'fleeing' after their passing of the Statue of Liberty.
That, and the whole "wealthy as the Queen of England" thing.
My son, has this way of making logical leaps in his mind; so that things make sense to him. This is that, put into writing form.
Cheers
