Learning has never been so funny

Since J has learned to read, I've started to find the funniest notes around the house. Sometimes she does a little better than other times at sounding things out, but in her defense, English is one screwy language. Like today I found a paper that read, "Erel and Sleeepan Beeeoooode." Any ideas what she meant? If you guessed "Ariel and Sleeping Beauty" you would be correct. I use to just find words like seen here:
The combination of words was what cracked me up about that one.
Now the deciphering fun really begins:
We believe it says "First I get the cheese. Second I get the ice cream. Then I make my desert. Yummy." And in the last one, it's not so much the words that need deciphering, but the meaning:
Sketch pad for loving? No clue. But funny. Really very funny.
