Dear Youngest Son,
I am glad you got a kick out of watching me exercise this morning. The dancing I was doing is called Zumba, not "piñata dancing". Did I look like a piñata? I am a little concerned why you called it that. I know I am not the most coordinated dancer, but you do not need to continually remind me that I do not look like the lady on the T.V. I think next time I want to dance I will wait until you are at school.
Sincerely, Mom

Dear Playgroup
Dear Playgroup,
Thank you for a very entertaining morning. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation about religion and Lent. I am impressed that one of you is participating in Lent this year. That would be hard to give up desserts and your Xbox. As for the rest of you, I don't think "lending your toys" is really participating in Lent, even if the toys were "lent" to someone.
I apologize again I did not have time to comb Colin's hair before you arrived. I am glad it was a source of amusement for you. Your comments have confirmed my conviction that he can't go out without having his hair styled in the mornings. I agree that he looks like Chewbaca, or a "dirty clown" (although I am not sure what a dirty clown looks like exactly).
See you next month!
Sincerely, Ms. Shelley

Dear Youngest Son
Dear Youngest Son,
Thank you for leaving a nicely colored picture on the floor today warning us that the floor was wet. You did a great job depicting a person falling on a slippery floor in your picture. Next time do you think you could just clean up your spill? I think it would have taken less time to clean up the spill than it did to go into the office and draw your picture. Just a thought.
Love, Mom

Dear Girl Scouts
Dear Girl Scouts of America,
Wow, everywhere we went this weekend, there you were! My husband and I decided to give up sugar this month. We though March would be the perfect month to try to be healthier. We have no birthdays in our family in March, and there are no major holidays with any sweet temptations. How could I forget about you? We have been living outside of the U.S. for the last few years and it seems we completely forgot about Girl Scout cookies. I love the Thin Mints and the Somoas. I usually am a big supporter of your worthy cause. I know I could buy cookies now and save them for later. However, I know myself, there is no way I would not partake of their goodness immediately. So, are any of you willing to wait and sell me a few boxes in April? I could even pay you now, and if you could just hold on to them for a month that would be great!
Sincerely, Shelley

Dear Youngest Son
Dear Youngest Son,
Thanks for completing your Saturday chores with minimal complaining. I know you were excited to get to clean the kitchen because you thought it would be the easiest job. I am sorry you were disappointed upon learning everything that job entailed. Yes, the stove top is "gross" and a little hard to clean. I am glad you were able to complete the task even though I was not able to provide you with the gas mask you requested. I have never thought a gas mask was necessary for cleaning, but now that you have recommended it I think it would be nice to have when cleaning the kids' bathroom.
Sincerely, Mom

Dear Little Gym
Dear Little Gym,
Thank you for wearing out my two sons for an hour once a week. I appreciate your patience with them despite their rowdiness. Just a little reminder, when the class breaks into pairs my sons should never by partners. They can't seem to stand next to each other without poking and annoying one another. I know they should be old enough to refrain, but they just can't resist no matter what the threatened consequence. This is why I drive a vehicle with enough space for strategic seating. Trust me on this one, I have tried everything.

Dear Fellow Jogger
Dear Fellow Jogger,
What a beautiful day at the park today. You seemed to enjoy soaking up the sunshine as well. I feel I owe you an explanation for my strange behavior while exercising. There is a really good reason I can only jog three-fourths the way around the loop. The only way I am able to get in my workout is if I completely avoid the playground area where my son is playing. If I pass right by him he has the sudden urge to need something like a drink, food, a toy, etc. However, if I make a quick 180 degree turn before approaching the playground he sees I am still exercising and does not ask for things. Just trust me, we have a good thing going, we are both happy even if I do look somewhat ridiculous.
