To My 11-Year-Old Nephew...

Dear General,

The boys and I would like to thank you for the wonderful birthday party you threw for your mom last Wednesday evening. The burgers were grilled to perfection, the ice cream cake was a refreshing treat, and the company was second to none.

The boys would also like to extend their gratitude for passing down the pop guns you and your brother have outgrown. I refrain from offering my thanks; I had to listen to PLOINK! PLOINK! PLOINK! PLOINK! all the way home. And all day Thursday. And each boy, having slept with said gun under his pillow, picked it up this morning and has been firing at will.

Don't think I won't get even.

Sincerely,

Your favorite outstate Aunt
