Dear Mr. A________,
First of all I would like to inform you that if you take this letter as a friendly suggestion rather than a demand, it will sound much better, so please do. Secondly, I would like to say that this is not a classroom assinment [sic], but just a thing that has come to my attention on the school yard. That "thing" is Mrs. C_________. I have noticed that she is sort of harsh. This first came to my attention when she benched me for running around the lunch tables. If she has a reason to do that, I am entirly [sic] ok with it. But isn't lunch for getting out our energy? The other, bigger thing that concerns me about Mrs. C________ is that she never lets us explain why we did whatever it was that we did. In my case it would have been, "Mrs. C_________, I was only playing tag." I am not sure if it would've worked, but it would have been nice to tell her that I meant no wrong. Thank you Mr. A_________.
Sincerely,
Vida
P.S. please, for my own good, do not show this to Mrs. C__________.
After he received the letter, Mr. A. made an announcement over the school sound system: "Vida W., come to my office right now. You are in BIG TROUBLE." She did as she was told, and then of course the two of them just kicked it for a few minutes and shot the breeze about Mrs. C. I love our school.

I really love that Vida and the principal kicked back. I, too, had a Mrs C in my school life and it is a good thing I had a limited cussword vocabulary at the time.
I think we've all had one or two Mrs. C's in our lives! I've excelled at cussing since very early in life, but I can't recall who taught me/how I learned...
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi. I've been reading your blog since I read in Market Manila that Silly Lolo's daughter has a blog. Your daughter's letter is just so cute.
It's nice to "see" you here, vta! I'll make sure to tell Silly Lolo that you stopped by. To tell you the truth, I think Silly Lolo needs a blog, too!
thanks
