Despicable Me

Dear Miya,

The size of my nose has always been a source of insecurity for me.  Please keep that fact in mind next time you see the shadow cast by my profile.  Calling my shadow "Despicable Me", while funny and sadly true, is hard on Mommy's self esteem.

Love,
Mommy

Smoking Papers

Dear Miya,

It is true that to avoid a complicated explanation about what an Instrumentation career entails, Papa told you that he makes paper at work.  It is also true that there is a smoke stack at Papa's work.  However, at no time did Papa tell you that he smokes paper at work.  Please stop running around the deck yelling, "I'm smoking paper like Papa".  People may get the wrong idea.

Love,
Mommy

Ginger Love

Dear Miya,

I apologize for abruptly confronting you about your ginger ale comment.  In my defence, we had just watched a video of your cousin, Linden.  I'm sure you can now understand why the timing of your question, "don't you just love gingers" caused Mommy to believe you were using a derogatory term in reference to your cousin.

Love,
Mommy
