They're giving me.a migraine! Have mercy! .Please, I'm begging you!..I simply wasn't able to.comprehend the meaning of.your bizarre letter. It might.help to use easier words..I can't be bothered to look.up every word you write..Is this your idea of fun?.Sending letters to me you.know I won't understand?.Well, I'll have you know.that I think you're terribly.mean! Mean mean MEAN!.Look, I give up. I tried my.best to understand your note,.but I just couldn't do it..Couldn't you try to write in.plain English next time?.It would make things easier..Happy Holidays!!!..Here's your present, straight.from Jingle's workshop!...You came an awfully long.way just to send me a note....and I couldn't even read it!.If you're going to go to all.that trouble, you ought.to at least make sense!.It was so sweet of you to.come visit! And thanks so.much for that letter...even.though it WAS kind of hard.to read. I guess I just need.to study a bit more! Bye!.I'm sorry, but that letter of.yours was too hard to read!.I feel bad, too, because.I know you came a long way.to send it. You should write.a simpler one next time..You silly goose! Don't send.me a copy of your thesis!.I want letters I can read,.not these totally weird,.complicated messes! Or was.that your idea of a joke?.OK, maybe I've been, like,.living in a cave for a while,.but I just don't understand.why someone would travel so.far just to send a letter.that makes so little sense....Time out, super-freak! Who.writes letters like that?.It went right over my head!.Next time you bother to.send me a letter, try sending.one I'll understand! Jeepers!.What a stupendous letdown..I was wicked stoked about.getting your letter, but when.I read it, it gave me a.headache. Help me out here,..$! Cripes!.I got your letter, but either.I'm really spaced out or you.can't write so good. I just.didn't get it! You'd better.start writing more clearly,.know what I'm saying?.What's the story with that.weird letter you sent me?.Maybe it's just me, but if I.went that far just to send.a letter, I'd want the person.who got it to get it. Got it?.Hey, Einstein, what was up.with that letter? You think.I'm some kind of brainiac or.something? I couldn't.understand a word of it!.Dumb it down, will ya?.Listen, seriously, if you're.going to send me a letter,.send me one I want to read,..$! That last.one gave me the old.brain-pain something fierce!.Whoa! You are seriously out.there! You came all the way.here to send me a note that.read like it was written by a.chimp! You are W-E-I-R-D!.Get it together!. To be frank, I have much.better things to do with my.time than to read your epic,.babbling nonsense. Whatever.it meant, I didn't get it..Nor do I wish to..All right, you comedian!.You think you're funny, huh?.Sure, travel way out here to.send me a letter you knew I.wouldn't understand. Ha ha..Funny. I won't forget this!.What the.? Look, if you.want to write a letter, write.a short note, not a master's.thesis! I didn't understand.word one. You'd do well to.remember I like easy reads!.I'm flattered that you think.so highly of my intellect,.but sadly, I must admit that.I didn't understand a word.of your note. Be a bit more.common next time, hmmm?.Do you ENJOY teasing me.with odd, unreadable letters?.Is it fun for you? I know.some folks think I'm snooty,.but I have feelings, same as.anybody, so don't be mean!.I put quite a bit of effort.into understanding your.letter, but I'm afraid it was.all for naught. You simply.must simplify your letters!.Perhaps next time?.Happy birthday!..Never lose that cheery.outlook on life!...Happy birthday, ..$!!..No matter how many years.may pass, I hope you'll .always remain my friend..Congratulations, .$!.You're one year older!..This is sort of a silly.present, but it's the best.I could find.

And when I went to.take a sip of it, it was the.worst pot of coffee I've ever.made! Why would that be?.I got this on sale.you know.how your mom loves to hunt.the wild bargain!.Anyway, it didn't look good.on me when I got home, so.I'll give it to you. Enjoy it!.Well, I just got back from a.short trip. I love traveling.by train! Around every bend.of the track there are new.adventures, new people, and.new memories to be made....Our neighbor had a bunch.of these. I'm already way.too full.I really overdid it! .Why don't you have some?.The way you eat, I'm sure.you're just skin and bones!.What shows up even if you.lock all your doors? Your.birthday! HAHAHA! Ohhh,.mercy! You should be happy.your mother has such a.good sense of humor!.Horror of horrors! I found a.wrinkle today! Am I getting.old? Say...you don't get.uncomfortable hearing about.this sort of thing, do you?..Would it kill you to visit.your folks once in a while?.We miss you! I think about.you often, and your dad....Well, he misses you, too,.but you know how he is..Try not to take this the.wrong way, hon, but...you've.always been a bit slow..Which is fine! But that's.why you should always take.things at your own pace..I saw this woman at the.store letting her horrid kids.run amok! One of the little.brats kicked me in the shin,.and before I knew it, I stuck.my tongue out at him!.I found an old love letter.addressed to you while I.was cleaning out the attic..I didn't READ it...but I may.have PEEKED. You know, to.make sure it wasn't a bill..Being filled with doubt and.uncertainty is just part of.being young. Don't worry so.much, my dear! Even adults.live with doubt and regret..all you can do is just live!.Well, just got back! We had.such a great time on our.first trip abroad. There was.one small hitch, though: I.woke up really late, and I.had to travel in my P.J.s!.I found 10,000 Bells while."cleaning" your dad's desk..Looks like I've a date with.some fancy new shoes!.P.S. Here's your share..This is our little secret!.I was so excited to start.my new jazz dancing class....until some big-haired ditz.in an ugly leotard told me.it looked like I was.square-dancing! The nerve!.You've been through a lot,.and had a hard go of it.sometimes, but you've always.done your best. It's all you.CAN do! ...Just once, I wish.someone would tell me that..I hate to say it, but your.mom's been going a little.grey lately. There's a little.snow on the mountains! I'm.young at heart, though, so.I'm dying my hair purple!.I found where your father.hides the credit cards, so I.did some shopping on one of.those 800 numbers. I went a.bit overboard: you can have.this, but promise to wear it!.Ooh, is your mother a.financial whiz or what?.I made an absolute killing .on the turnip market a.while ago, so I...well, I.turned your room into a spa!.I found an old picture of.you and me the other day..Oh, I looked so young!.You looked OK.you were.smiling, I think, but WOW!.Your mom sure was a looker!.I found some of your old.comics and a box marked."Precious Collectibles" when.I was tidying the house the.other day. I tossed them.out. You don't mind, do you?.I decided I could stand to.lose a few pounds, so I.started doing aerobics. What.a fiasco... It's a long story,.but your dad ended up.calling the fire department..Remember the year you.fell out of the tree and.broke your poor arm? Mercy,.that tree produced so much.fruit that year! Doesn't.that strike you as odd?.I was feeling bored, so I.started up a little kitchen.garden. Who knew I had.a green thumb? I grew more.fruit than I could eat!..Your dad finally noticed the.exotic travel pamphlet I."accidentally" left on the.table. Looks like it's time.for a little vacation! He's.convinced it was his idea..I recently decided to take up.gardening as a hobby, except.I couldn't grow anything but.brussels sprouts! I hate.those things! They're like.evil little cabbages. Bleah!.I was watching a scary.movie the other night.your.father was fast asleep, of.course.and I yelled at the.top of my lungs! Every light.on our street went on!.I tried to move this.painting yesterday, but,.instead, it moved me!.True story!...My secret recipe for double.choco-caramel cake is.getting rave reviews all.over the neighborhood..I should start a business!.I'd make a fortune!.Being popular is no great.feat. Anyone can do it! The.key is to be a personally.personable person. Nobody.likes a Gloomy Gus or a.Salty Sally!.We just got a new.convenience store in town..Strangely, our village doesn't.FEEL any more convenient......It's the weirdest thing....I found this spoiled carton.of milk in the fridge...and.for some reason I thought.of you. Anyway, when did.you last do your laundry?.Guess what! I've started.making homemade spaghetti.from scratch! I'll send you.some when I improve at it..your poor father couldn't eat.solids for a week last time!.Your dad complimented my.curry, so as a surprise, I.made it every night for the.rest of the week! Instead of.being excited, he got really.grouchy. Men!.If there's one meal your dad.loves, it's pork chops. Of.course, I only buy them on.sale, as they're pricey!.When shopping, use your.brains, not your belly..My dear, I miss you terribly.and sometimes wish you'd.move back home, but I know.it would be a bad idea....For one thing, do you even.remember where we live?.So, hon, you must be pretty.well settled over there by.now. I hope you're making a.point of being nice to your.neighbors! Nobody likes a.creepy next-door recluse!.Your father and I made a.pleasant day of shopping.yesterday in the next town.over. I picked up your.favorite treat: Caramel-.Covered Goo Nummies!.I chanced upon this in the.next town over and simply.couldn't resist buying it.for you. Just look at it!.It's perfect for you!..Take good care of this.sapling I grew for you, and.it will bring you fortune! I.don't know what'll happen if.you treat it like that tree.you didn't water. Misfortune?.You're old enough now to.know this... When you were.a kid, I almost lost my cool.a number of times. Do you.recall "sledding" down the.stairs on the couch? I do....There was a darling bazaar.in the town square the other.day, and I happened upon.this adorable umbrella. Do.you want it? Don't stay out.in the rain too long!.I found a muddy old pair.of your shoes and recalled.you when you were little,.stomping in mud puddles... .I was so overcome by the.memory, I couldn't wash 'em..I asked your father, very.sweetly, "What would you.like for dinner, dear?".No answer..Well! It looks like someone's.getting meatloaf AGAIN!.I was sort of dozing in.front of the TV, and someone.on the soap opera cried out,."Mommm!" And I leaped up,.yelling, "What's wrong?".I thought it was you! Ha!.I don't really know why.I'm bothering to tell you.this, but we've been having.strictly leftovers for lunch.lately. Hope all's well!..I heard a rumor about you.the other day. Is it true?.With the rubber cement,.and the spatula, and those.poor ants from little Timmy's.ant farm? My word!.So, have you made any new.friends? I'd love to meet.them. What are they like?.Would I approve of them?.Are any of them hooligans? .Was there anyone SPECIAL?.I tell you, sometimes, when.your father and I get too.stressed out, we just head.to a hot spring for some.time by ourselves. We come.back feeling like newlyweds!.So, how do you like my.letters? They're funny, aren't.they? Especially for an old.bird like me! Whoo-HOOOO!.I am the wittiest mom.IN THE WORLD!!!.Strange... I've had a poor.appetite lately. How about.you? Have you been healthy?.Are you having melted cheese.sandwiches for dinner?.Are you washing your knees?.I went outside the other day.after a hard rain and guess.what I found buried?.A Gyroid! How weird.is that? Ah, the wonders.of nature!.Always remember to use the.bathroom before you go to.sleep! Otherwise, you may.suffer a horrible fate, like.your poor Uncle Dweezil.....I certainly hope you're.remembering to brush your.teeth at night. I can't keep.you from living with beasts,.but I can at least remind.you to save your gums!.There's an old saying that.you can save three Bells by.waking up early, but me, I'd.pay ten just to be able to.sleep late... I do love my.beauty rest!.I hope you don't mind all.these strange letters, but.I just want to share my life.with you. Even if you have.chosen to live with animals,.which I'll never understand..Stressful moments pass .quickly from day to day,.but the combined weight of.all of them can crush your.youth... Never let your cares.weigh you down for long!.My New Year's resolution is.to help you be healthier and.happier. I'm still not sure.of the best way to go about.it, but I hope this helps!..Happy New Year! Everyone.always shouts "Happy New.Year!" Not to be a "bum-.out," or whatever you kids.say, but what's so happy.about another year passing?.So did the groundhog see.its shadow today? Or not?.I saw your father's shadow..It seems to grow wider.every year...I say spring is coming,.regardless of what that.groundhog says. Just you.wait and see....Down by the river's edge,.I sat on the ground and let.my cares flow away with the.cool water. And perhaps,.just perhaps, I heard the.soft footsteps of spring....The early signs of spring.are all around. That means.its time to come out of.hibernation and get active.again. It's the season for.getting in shape..The cherry trees in the back.yard have positively exploded.into bloom recently! How do.they look in your neck of.the woods, my darling dear?..Looking at the cherry.blossoms, I remembered.the time you tried to climb.up to the highest branch!.Oh, how you tried! But you.never quite made it....It's the darnedest thing!.I just noticed the marks we.drew on the wall to measure.your height as you grew up!.Oh, what memories! How tall.are you now?.Spring is such a lovely.season. It makes me want.to go outside and fly a.kite. You should do the.same...Ick. Another gray and cloudy.day... How depressing....With my luck, the laundry.won't even dry on the .clothesline. Well, hope your.day is nicer than mine....Oh, the heat last night was.unbearable! In the deep.darkness, I wandered down.to the river, enjoying the.night breezes... I must have.counted a thousand fireflies!.While out on a romantic.nighttime stroll, your father.and I walked through a huge.swarm of fireflies. I swear,.it was as if we were walking.through the Milky Way!.Nothing says summer like a.fireworks show. I took your.mother to the amusement.park a few days ago..They had the best rockets.I've ever seen..Dawn breaks... Slowly,.figures appear and gather.together...and then....ONE! TWO! THREE! HUP!.Ugh..I hate morning exercises....There's a big meteor shower.this week.anyone who's.anyone will be there! You'll.be pleased to know that your.mother will be looking smart.in her red dress this year....I know it's September, but.it's still rather hot out,.don't you think? So take.care not to overheat!.And don't wear dirty socks!.You mind your mother, now!.It's strange... I heard this.noise for the longest time.before I realized it was.a bell cricket chirping! .Boy, autumn sure snuck.up on me this year!.Your father and I hiked up.the mountain to admire the.pretty fall leaves, but I.found myself enticed by.an aroma. Pretty soon, I was.hunting mushrooms like mad!.Your mother and I just.joined the local mycological.society. We're learning all.about identifying and.picking mushrooms. It's.quite interesting..Your father and I did some.yard work yesterday. He.raked up all the leaves, and.I set them on fire.yes, we.had a permit! It reminded.me of roasting chestnuts..Yesterday I was listening.to dead leaves rustle, and.all of a sudden a wave of.nostalgia crashed over me..Fall is such a lovely time!.Lovely, yet sad....I got so tired of writing.holiday cards that I must.have completely zoned out..I wrote some upside down,.filled one with nonsense, and.addressed one to the cat..The other day, I finally got.around to covering that fine.drawing you did on the.wallpaper during your 'young.artist' phase. Odd...I thought.your dad had the moustache..I'm always joyous on.Mother's Day, regardless.of whether you give me.flowers or worms!..Just so you remember..You know, as a mother, I'll.never let go of my precious.memories of you. Like those.fabulous, fun-filled 46.hours I spent in labor... You.were worth every minute!.Hey, child of mine! Isn't.this a wild foofaraw! Your.old dad's trying his hand at.this letter-writing thing!.Will wonders never cease?!.So, you know what today is?.Well, now, you'd have to.agree, I've been your dad for.quite a while, right? So I.was wondering... You don't.happen to remember exactly.when that began, do you? .Guess what!? I have great.news! We've decided to give.you your inheritance early!.You're rich!!!!.HA! April Fool's Day, dear!.No Bells for you!.Ugh... No...more...letters....I'm awfully sorry, dear, but.I've been writing letters all.day, and I am just bushed!.I promise to write a more.interesting one next time!.Is there any more magical.time than the holidays?.I think not! Flurries drifting.through the frosty night air,.footsteps crunching through.snow, family gatherings....I hope we make it through.the holidays without any of.last year's hoopla. That foul.eggnog still won't come out.of the drapes, and we never.did find Cindy's hamster....Dearest child of mine!.On this day, the day of your.birth, your parents wish you.nothing but happiness!.Wish you were here!..Today is a special day,.the anniversary of the.day you came into our.lives! I tell you, that was.the happiest day in all.my days! Happy birthday!.My! The moon looks simply.beautiful in the autumn sky..Sometimes I feel like I could.spend the rest of my life.gazing at the moon.....I get so worked up worrying.about huge storms coming.that when they don't arrive,.I feel kind of disappointed..Is that wrong?..I sure do love sauteed.mushrooms. But not as much.as your father! He ate so.many helpings last night,.I swear he started to look.like a mushroom himself!.You know when you eat.all the mushrooms out of.your mushroom pilaf, and all.that's left is brown rice? I.hate that! I need to improve.my mushroom-to-rice ratio! .Your father doesn't seem.to like having sardines for.dinner every night, but what.can I do?...I walked hand-in-hand with.your father down a gorgeous,.tree-lined street the other.day. The colors were lovely,.and he was just as handsome.as the day we met..Now that the snows have.melted, I can go for long.walks outdoors. It feels good.to stretch my legs after.being cooped up for so long!..I'm sure you'll face hardship.out there.after all, you're.out on your own with those.animals.but stick it out, no.matter what! You'll be fine,.I know it!.The other day, I was rooting.around in a cupboard, and a.pair of cockroaches popped.out and skittered into a hole.in the wall! Ick!! I nearly.swallowed my cough drop!!.I saw a swallowtail butterfly.basking in the sun yesterday..My, it was gorgeous! It was.almost as if it was a gift to.me from Spring herself!..When Old Man Winter relaxes.his icy grip and Dame.Spring blows warm breath.across my face, I sometimes.feel like a child being led.from one delight to another..The May weather must have.moved me to finish knitting.this sky-blue shirt for you!.Like the clear sky of spring,.let it breathe hope and .fresh life into your soul!.I've started taking swimming.classes to get ready for the.summer heat. Apparently,.my best stroke is "the.flounder." They tell me I.invented it! Isn't that cool!.I woke up in a great mood.today. Then, as I hung the.laundry on the line, the sky.clouded up, and it rained all.over my parade.
