Writer's Workshop - Dear Mommy...

Dear Mommy,

I'm hungry.  If you don't give me candy, I will not be your friend.  If you yell at me again, I will be sad forever.  You told me no when I asked you for a snack.  Now I am sad forever.  I don't know what whining is.  All I know is that when you tell me all day long to stop whining, it just makes me cry.  And sad forever.  And hungry.

Love,

Dear Mommy,

You are the best mommy I've ever had.  I love you so much and I am SOOO glad you are my mommy.  If I had a different Mommy and we saw you walking down the street I would ask my mom if you could be my mommy.  I love God.  And I love me.  And I love you.  I love everyone.  But Satan.  I don't love Satan.  I am going to be a Godly singer when I grow up.  I am going to make up a new song now.  It will have the word love in it.  Hearing this song makes me interested in learning the guitar.  I love you!

Love,

Dear Mommy,

Do I HAVE to take a shower?  No!  I don't want to.  Why?  But why?  That's not fair.  Can I PLEASE...nevermind.  You'll just say no anyway.  Well, I was just going to ask if I could play the Wii.  See?  I told you you'd say no.  Can I play the computer?  WHY NOT?  I'm sorry for all of my sins.  I love you.  Can I clean the bathroom now?  Can I use Clorox wipes?  YES!

Love,

Dear Momma,

I want to be just like you, now and when I grow up.  Therefore, I will sarcastically roll my eyes whenever Daddy says ANYTHING and will act annoyed when he tries to be funny.  You are a great role model.  Everything I ever wanted to know about sarcasm I learned from you.  Yes, like I've already told you a million and a half times, I will still be your friend when I am a teenager.  You're so much funnier than Daddy!

Love,

Katherine (age 9)
