Mother’s Plea

Dear Eva,

Will you please stop throwing fits when you don’t get your way; especially at Costco?  I get really embarrassed when everyone stares at me with judging eyes.  Also, no one can see how cute you are when you’re flopped back wailing like a walrus.  I understand you like almonds, but the checkout line is not the place to crack into them.

I’d also prefer it if you wouldn’t hold your poo for a clean diaper.  Every time you soil a fresh diaper, that’s 25¢ of hard-earned money that could be better spent on candy bars or dirty magazines.  I really don’t think you need fresh linens to do your business.  We aren’t royalty.

Finally, could you keep your hands off my cellular telephone?  I don’t need you to purchase tickets to a Christian rock concert, link my contacts, delete emails, send voice notes to my friends, or otherwise completely mess with my phone settings.  I have your father for that.

Sincerely,

Your Darling Mother

(Think it will work?)
