Flint's Letter To Weatherman Albert Ramon Features Awesome Unicorn Drawing (PHOTOS)

Kids say the darnedest things. Sometimes they even write those things down. And draw pictures. Those are good times.

SCROLL FOR PHOTOS

Flint, a fourth-grade student, was apparently so astounded by Texas weatherman Albert Ramon's visit to his school that he decided to show his appreciation by writing a letter to the meteorologist saying he can sit atop a half-platinum, half-solid gold, jewel-encrusted throne.

In the note, the boy continues to praise the meteorology lesson, giving Ramon what very likely could be the best compliments he's ever received.

"You're more awesome than a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out [of] bacon riding a cyborg unicorn," Flint writes.

And as if the letter wasn't adequately descriptive, the student also took the time to illustrate the scenario. Unicorn, throne, speech bubbles; the whole deal.

Now if that doesn't say "thank you," we're not sure what does.

Of course, some unicorn-hating spoil sports out there have questioned the letter's authenticity. Could a child possibly be this creative?

Ramon says "yes."

On his Twitter account, the meteorologist explained Flint's letter was among a bundle of thank you notes he received from the fourth-grade class. The letter began creating buzz after he posted it on his personal Facebook account.

"Marvelis."

I had to laugh. after the line about being supreme ultra lord, I started wondering if Flint is somehow related to Dr. Evil. I think if our egos met halfway we'd be doing pretty "marvelis"

I can`t believe someone here hasn`t attacked the kid for his "slave" reference.

Children are, by nature, a bit amoral when it comes to these things. Do you really think he understood what slavery is, except for maybe getting him donuts and bacon at any time of day or night.
Give the kid, and the rest of us, a break.

Joe, you take yourself too seriously. Pnut is making fun of the Huffpost PC police and NOT the kid.

"...a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out [of] bacon riding a cyborg unicorn."

I would totally greenlight that show.

Maybe another Steven Spielberg. Very creative.

What a fun adult he will be especially as a Dad. He certainly has a way with descriptive thought, maybe a writer....

Best compliment ever: "you're more awesome than a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out of bacon riding a cyborg unicorn with a lightsaber for the horn on the tip of a space shuttle closing in on mars, while ingulfed in flames...". This kid knows how to make someone feel special:P

Love it! this kid is going to make an awesome and interesting husband!
I couldn't bear to live with a boring , numbers and data only, fool.

Cant wait for him to start his stand up comedy.

this kid is going to be a sci-fi or fantasy writer someday.

a tuxedo made out of bacon would be awesome...

And so would a cyborg unicorn!

Johnny Carson would have loved to read a letter like this on The Tonight Show!

That should have read" American kids"

That's the problem with American kid...always daydreaming. No wonder the other countries are way ahead of us in math and science.

Creative dreamers like this are the exact reason why we have the "marvelis" inventions that we do. I think the kid has a very bright future.
05:24 PM on 03/18/2012
@sue1mar3 exactly!
05:57 PM on 05/19/2012
I concur - innovation is part of the process to creation. Where do you think the wheel came from ;0) The problem with the world is that they try and stop us daydreaming! Anyway America is amazing with technology look at all this young kids making billions because they had skill and imagination! Those building's you look at, they came out of someone's head everything you see is created through the mind of man - maths and science are tools but then look at Einstein creative genius.

I really hope that`s a pathetic attempt at sarcasm - his letter had more thought in it than anything you wrote.

This is more adoration than any weatherman in the history of weathermanning has ever gotten, I am sure.

American children thinking and dreaming again...and who says we're on the wrong track....?
11:33 AM on 03/18/2012
You just made my point. Too much dreaming and not enough action. No wonder the third world countries are kicking our butt in math and science.
12:28 PM on 03/18/2012
Your point is stupid. Dreaming is what has helped the world to advance. Just dry figures without imagination doesn't tend to lead to advancement.

So, without dreamers you would have math majors and science majors with nothing to apply their expertise to. NASA would not exist without the dreamers part.
