Dear Mommy: Thanks, But No Thanks
Dear Mommy,
Thank you very much for the Pumpkin Peeps. It was very nice of you to think of me when you went to Target the other night for Mommy-Time, but quite frankly - they just aren't very good. I really tried to fake it, but I just couldn't. They're that bad. I get that they're supposed to be full of marshmallow-y, sugar-y goodness, and I especially get that you have fond memories of Peeps from when you were a kid - but really, if I am going to waste some calories on Sugar, I prefer to stick with the Kit Kat or the Sno-Cone. Thanks anyway for trying. (Maybe if we leave them out for a couple of days, we can use them as decorations. I noticed that they were already getting a bit crunchy. Just a thought.)
Love,
Jack

Dear Jack,
I completely agree with you. Peeps are evil! I remember one Easter when I was a child... I ate a yellow Peep -- well, I ate everything but the head and then I cried. Its little eyes scared me and I haven't touched one since! You are a very good judge of sugary treats and a very sweet boy to thank your mom for trying. Stick to the chocolate, kiddo; you'll never go wrong!
Don't know about the peeps, personally, though I think I'd agree with the recent dawg! Where can you get some Bertie Botts' beans and a chocolate frog or two? If I could find 'em, I'd bring some to Jack this weekend. Maybe we can find something to bring that we can count on being fun or delicious....

Dear Miss Michelle,
My mom read me your note, but I could hardly understand her because she was laughing really hard and she had tears running down her face. She even snorted once. She said something about you being absolutely hysterical. I guess that's a good thing. I hope that I can stay at the top of your list, and I will definitely try the peeps again.
Dear Miss Heather,
I am sorry that you cried. Crying makes me sad, but sometimes I do it, especially if my teeth hurt or if I am in a bad mood. I promised Miss Michelle that I would try the peeps again, but I'm with you on the chocolate thing. It's awesome. By the way, tell Em that I really liked her costume.
Dear Grandbuddy,
I am so glad that you and DeeDee are coming this weekend. And I have never had a chocolate frog, but if you can find one I'll try it! I like frogs, and I really like chocolate! You don't have to bring me anything at all, I am just so glad you are coming to see me!
Love,
Jack
Dear Jack,
I will take your Peeps any day of the week. Even though my mommy warns me that my teeth are going to fall out and brushes them like the maniacal OCD-Anxiety-Ridden person that she is, I will love Peeps for the rest of my life, thanks mostly to my maternal grandmother. So throw a peep to yo peep, bro. I'll take
'em.
Love,
Parker
