Letters of Intent

Dear Disney/Pixar:I don't typically thank giant corporations for very much. Truly, you (all) and I know that at the end of the day it boils down to money. Don't try to pretend it doesn't. Still, I would be remiss if I neglected to thank you for Finding Nemo. Not only does it allow the grown-ups in the house a few moments of uninterrupted peace, but it taught our little girl one very valuable lesson. She constantly tells us that Nemo got lost because "he no listen to Daddy". We have taken it upon ourselves, as responsible parents, to remind her of this when she's having trouble listening. She has even extended the object lesson to include listening to all pertinent grown-ups (Mommy, Grammy, etc.). So thank you. That is at least one valuable lesson that she's gleaned from TV. And yes, it was worth the money.Love,The Mom Who Appreciates Good Listeners
Dear City Parking Attendant:It was only when I saw the orange envelope on my windshield that I remembered that my parking pass was valid January through June... and it was July 2nd. Given our current financial situation, a ticket was not high on my list of things to spend my discretionary money on. My heart started palpitating like a southern schoolgirl at cotillion (I do declare). So I was pleasantly surprised that the ticket was made out for $0.00 and listed as a warning! I am beyond elated that in this tourist town, it's not only the cars with out of state plates that catch a break from time to time. Thank you for your decency,The Lady with a Newly Current Parking Pass
Dear Monsoon Season:You're late, but we're so glad you showed up! Now, if you could just go ahead and follow through with your threats to hose this place down every afternoon, I'd be ever so grateful. The sinus pressure is killing me.Love,Extra Strength Tylenol's New BFF
