When I moved 800 miles from home to go to college, I think my mom expected me to write more. I may have written to her twice. It was more than I wrote to anyone else, though, so it's not like she was the only person to whom I did not send enough letters.
Eventually, my mom got a sense of humor about the whole thing and wrote a letter for me that I was supposed to fill out and send back to her. Golden came across that letter a few days ago. What Golden found was a copy, so I think that I actually did fill out the letter and send it back. Here's what the letter says (the names have been changed to protect blah, blah, blah) .

Boy, that is pretty easy. I wonder why you thought writing letters was hard?
You mom is so cool...
Now that it's on the web, we can copy paste it into word and keep it for when our sons/daughters don't write. Right?
That is a great idea!
For the record, I found out recently that my mom and sister collaborated on this letter. That makes sense because I see some of my sister's humor in it as well.
