Dear Mom
I am so very sorry for making the poor decision of playing Starcraft Two instead of doing my jobs like making my bed, doing laundry or cleaning my bathroom. I also could have been doing my Pre-Calculus Homework for Math class or reading a Chapter for Computer Programming. I could have even been studying my Spanish notes so that I would do better in class or started to sell those amazingly delicious, overprice, creamy ice-cream filled cakes from Cold Stone ® and using that wonderful form that you spent much time working on that nobody noticed how much time you actually spent doing. I would like to take this time to tell you how much I appreciate the work that you do for the Swim Team and I. I am sorry for not doing all these crucial things in my life and now know that I made a really bad decision In playing my computer game instead.
Mom, I love you so much and would like to tell you that I love you and appreciate that you remind me to do my homework and jobs before playing my freaking awesome computer games. I know that sometimes I do not like it but in the long run it can help me a ton to know to do the more important things first in life.
Mom, you have taught me many great lessons in life and I would like to thank you at this time. I am
Mom, I love you. I would like to mow the lawn, do all of my homework, sell some cakes, and let you pop some of my zits. From, Josh.

Wendy, would it be ok if I sent Justin to live at your house for as long as it takes for him to become such an essay writer?? He needs you!!!
I should have thought of doing this too....as Jill was no doubt online playing Starcraft with Josh and Spencer M...but I did not. Dangit. Another wasted teaching moment.
whew! What a champion essay writer. Full of sustenance, sass and knowledge. LOVE IT!
