Hilarious (with Creative Spelling!)

Here's the letter from Jane I was telling you about yesterday. It says, "All I am triing to say is-- rite now I fell smoll and left out"

***********************
So, my favorite quote of our Thanksgiving trip to my Mom's was when she told me that she didn't read my blog because she "didn't want to wade through all the stuff about socks."

Not that I'm bitter.

Just because she frequently sends me notes saying that she never hears from me and wonders how the girls are doing.

Nope. Not bitter. Not me.

In other hilarity:


My kids played school a lot while we were at my mom's. One day, they told me that I was part of their game. My last name was Darling and my daughter's name was Lea (played by Jane) and I also had a son named James. I said, "Who is playing James?"

"No one. He's imaginary."

Oh.

So then the teacher, who was named Ana Cooper for the purposes of this game, and who happened to be PLAYED by Ana Cooper, sent me several missives.

This is the first (verbatim):

Dear Mr./Mrs. Darling,

Your daughters behavior has been exceptionally wonderful! She was the only one who behaved the entire day. She is now teacher's pet. Lea is a wonderful child. I am lucky to have her in my class this year.

Sincerely,
Ana Cooper (signature)

Teacher

PS: James Darling behaves horribly. I will not go into details.

A short while later, I received the following note:

Dear Mr./Mrs. Darling,

James has been a terror all day! He threw rocks at Lea and myself. He is very rude. In class, when we say the Pledge of Aligence (I could never spell that!) He burped it!

Lea is an angel. She is very shy around other students and I think James might be a part. He scares her all day.

Please speak to both.

Respectfully yours,
Ana Cooper
