Dear Mom,
Hi, it’s me Jakey-D. You know, your kid?
I just wanted to say “sorry” for being a pain in your rear today…and last night.. and the night before. I know I am supposed to be extra good when Daddy’s gone….
..but I just forgot.
Kinda like how I forgot there’s not supposed to be rocks in the tub, earthworms in the house, and how it scares the stuffin outta you every time I bellow “SQUIRREL!!!!”” when there’s a squirrel in the birdfeeder.
Yes, I know you told me you don’t give a crap about squirrels.
I also kinda forgot the part about, if I dig a big “tumungous” hole in the back yard, I should fill it up so you don’t step in it and break a leg.
Now…I remember that you said if that happened, Daddy might ship you to the glue factory.
I am not sure what that means……
..but thanks for filling in the hole for me. I really was trying to dig a trap for a squirrel.
The same one that was in the birdfeeder.
I’m am kinda sorry too I told you I wanted chicken for supper, than changed my mind to “Tubby Toast” (peanut butter toast). I know I changed my mind after you cooked the chicken, but you gotta eat too, right?
I’d like to say I am sorry too that I heckled you half the afternoon about buying a dog, an XBox, and a Star Wars Lego Set. I just want them real bad.
You said I have to earn it by being really good while Daddy is gone. You said you would give me a star for every day Dad is gone. I think you said the star is worth money. Cool.
But I want them all NOW. Like tomorrow.
You told me to be patient.
I am not sure what that means, but it sounds like it will take a long time. Not cool.
Did I mention I want it now?
I am “writing” this from my room where I’ve been sent..again. You said if I keep this up, not only will I get no stars, but I will be “in the hole”.
I think that means I will owe YOU money…but I just wanna make sure you are not referring to the hole I dug in the backyard.
It’s only squirrel sized after all.

Sounds like that sassy devil has you scrambling! And don’t you know that you *have* to yell whenever you see a squirrel? Squirrels are SuperCool, Mom! Thanks for the laugh this afternoon!

Wow! He is industrious. I used to dig holes to when I was little. What a great idea with the stickers. Anything that works in your favor is a good thing.

Hole digging!? I’d die. Particulary because our back yard is deck and cement… But still. Besides – how on earth do you hid a freshly filled hole?
