I got a Christmas gift thank you card from my nieces today, and Maude makes sure to write down what they say verbatim, instead of coaching them as to what to say, which is the shit. Margaret is old enough to write her own, but five-year-old Norma only handles the ‘Dear Aunt Bev’ and her name, so Maude records her dictation. Highlights include a section where she says ‘thanks that I love you too much’ and then ‘And I wanted to tell you one more thing: you’re sometimes funny like Snoopy.’
At first I was like… ‘Haha, that’s cute,’ and then I was like, ‘Wait, isn’t Snoopy kind of an idiot?’ and then after some Google Snoopy refreshing, I realized she is terrifyingly accurate here…
*I would like to add that I do know how to spell ‘triathlon’ and I do know that it actually consists of Coors Light, chardonnay, and champagne, but otherwise… Bev and Snoopy? Not a horrible comparison for a five-year-old.
-Bev
