Sometimes I wish I were nine years old….

My son William received a three-page letter in the mail yesterday. All three were written in pencil on notebook paper; the first page was ripped and torn all around the edges.

It is basically an invitation for a playdate, and the sender is one of William’s best friends. Having obtained permission from William, the sender, and the sender’s father, I am posting the contents of the letter here for your enjoyment.

Camando William

I send this letter because our computer system’s are down. I have grave news. We are under attack I will meet you at this date 4/19/06 Please bring General Everette our bunker is almost destroyed so we need to meet I will also meet you today at the Chapel hill bible Church and discuss what to do about what’s happening and all my troops are well-trained, but still I fear that this war is very long and that many lives will be lost. But that will not slow us down! We will fight on and bring peace and justice to the galaxy. Seriously if we win then all parents will become little groups and we will have to control them but if they would just put down there guns and pistols then it would be a lot easier but it isnt So I have a few more things to say.

We won a battle at fort brumalgaser and we lost the south gorge but still I think that we will wait longer to see if we win and anyway we are the greatest infantry here. Theres cannon fire but dont worry enclosed is a list of supplies you need to bring signing out David

I think it’s especially charming that ‘Everett Stevenson’ is a critical supply, number three on the list, in fact! If we were to ever run short of Everett Stevenson, no telling what would happen. No telling.

This is great Rebecca. I am so glad that William has such a good friend and that he considers Everett a critial supply.

Isn’t it great? I, for one, am glad he’s just joking about “your butt.”And yes, Everett is a Critical Supply. Absolutely Critical.

I don’t know–I’m kinda concerned about #7. What if it’s *the* crucial ingredient in the formula for victory?As long as William was able to decipher it . . .

Bionicles are advanced lego figures – sort of complicated fighting robot things. Very cool if you ask me. Bill
