Letter Submission by Virginia Jones:
Dear Firstborn,
How are you? Your mom’s good. Medium-good, I guess. I opened my computer today and a man on my dating website wrote to say he’d like to correspond with me, but that he wanted me to know that he enjoyed women’s fashions. So what? What does that mean? Do you think he wants to take me shopping?
I spent the weekend with your sisters. Laura Lee is SO F-A-T. Emily looks good. I hope you’re keeping on top of your weight, dear girl. Remember, every pound you gain after thirty will be twice as hard to take off! Laura’s dating a black man, and I guess they prefer bigger girls? I hope that’s not why she’s done it. I just hope they don’t have a baby together, because you know, they don’t fit in to either world. But the babies are cute, and I guess our president is mixed, and he’s doing OK.
Gotta go, it’s Feral Cat Friday, every feral cat I trap and bring in to the ASPCA gets neutered for half off! Maybe I should take in your sister in law? She can’t seem to stop!
Love, Your Mother P.S. Can you tell me what an audio download is? I got an email about it. P.P.S. Your sister tells me you’re moving to Los Angeles! I guess I thought you were kidding when you told me that! Do you really think you’re funny enough?
