A Little Too Clean

Dear Grandma Worth,

Thank you for the bubble bath and fun bath toys you sent for my birthday. I love playing with the little fishing pole and fishies. But Grandma, do you think you could send me another bottle of bubble bath? Mine ran out today, and all I got to do was pour it and spread suds all over the living room carpet and couches; David's head, body, and clothes; and my head, body, and clothes. I know I should have let Tommy have a turn, but he was too busy distracting Mommy with his spelling homework (he kept telling her that she was wrong and he was right, but for some reason she didn't believe him--even though she doesn't even go to school!).

Mommy said she wishes she took a picture of David and me before she washed all the suds off, but I guess she was in a hurry, since right in the middle of our fun we suddenly started feeling ouchies in our eyes, and a funny taste in our mouths. We got to have a bath, even though we already had one earlier (but for some reason we didn't get to play with our bathtub toys this time). It was such a fun day. We got to have the TV on full blast while Mommy had the really loud shampoo-vacuum on. I don't know why she had to keep going back and forth on the same spots over and over and over... didn't the bubble bath make it all clean already?

I miss you Grandma, and so does Mommy!
Love, Michael

  2. That one goes under the title "Ahhhh, Motherhood." And that's about all you can say. Good thing the kids are cute enough to make up for it.

  4. Hee, hee! Sometimes I look around hoping that I'm not the one who has to clean up the mess. Again.

  6. Dear Michael,
    I am so sorry that I cannot send you more bubbles. I am afraid your mommy would not like that. Next time maybe just to be safe she will have you open all your presents in the bathtub, do ya think?
    I am so sorry your eyes were ouchie and I am sure the taste was not pleasent either. Lucky for you that you have a shampoo-vacuum cleaner.
    I miss you and your whole family so. so much. Thanks for the letter.
    Love,
    forever and forever,
    Grandma
