Dear Andrew,
For your birthday, both you and Bobby got to pick out peddle bikes. Your brother selected a Spiderman bike while you choose a purple bike with pink and white flowers and streamers. When you showed me your bike you were so proud of your new toy and were hopeful of all the adventures that you might go on. If anyone ever makes fun of you ( Read more... )

Dear Bobby,
At sixty months you are full of contradictions. You love to speed on your bike and go far faster than truly makes me comfortable. You’ll run down a hiking trail in ill fitting boots. You’ll jump and wrestle, and do physical things that look terrifying. And yet, you still cling to an adult in a new situation or change your mind about ( Read more... )

Dear Party City,

You have some of the slowest staff that I have ever come in contact with.  What the hell.  It does not take long to blow up a balloon.  It comes out a tank at warp speed!  I've seen turtles move faster!  Seriously.  I have never in my whole life seen someone take this long to take an item out of a basket - my pirate eye patches did ( Read more... )

Fuck you.

Dear people who put stupid quotes on the end of their e-mails at work,

Spreading your gospel through quote is not cute.  It is not professional.  It is not ketchie.  It is not a good use of internet resources.  You are just as bad as spammers or forwarders.  I do not care what you think about character, devotion, honor, your children, or the lord.
