I hope we’re reading sea shanties next to that rockin’ lamp. For some reason, I think my Mom painted it and my Dad wired it. I think it was a kit you could buy in the ’70s. My mother looks awesome in purple! I look ready for Aspen.

I certainly did like third grade, but it is hard to imagine thanking someone for sending me to school. Cookies and stuff after school, sure THANKS! But for sending me there? Are you kidding? I was a doofus from a very young age!

Ah Mother! “You are nice.”
