Another park story from a very good mommy

I've never been huge on letter writing. I remember when I was a teenager and spent six months in Europe. Pretty much the only letter my family got from me was when a friend of mine was going back to the states. I scribbled down a letter, addressed it, and told her to mail it when she got back home. So my parents got a letter from me in Europe, postmarked in New Orleans.

Anyway -- I haven't written a letter for years. I have my kids do it now. It has not passed unnoticed by my sister, I must say.

(Editor's note: I told her that I thought, all things considered, her sister should be thrilled to be getting an actual handwritten letter from anyone, especially a cute little kid. She was happy to agree. Don't know if that clears her of all those pesky child-labor laws that may or may not apply to the case.)
