Ambition
by carolynholm
Dear Mommy,
I have a new ambition.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Does it have anything to do with your artful posing with the roses?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
It does! I want to be a model. In lifestyle magazines.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Lifestyle magazines? That’s very specific.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
They have pictures of perfect houses, with beautiful rooms, filled with lovely things. Like flowers and bowls of lemons and a cat or even a dog. Though cats are more photogenic.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
A lot of people love dogs and would say they are quite photogenic.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Those dogs probably got the job because they were related to the homeowner or the photographer.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
That is a strong possibility.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I am going to need headshots.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Headshots are very expensive. I think you need to think this out a little more.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’m sure I’ll be a success. I’m elegant. I’m beautiful. I can look tasteful and thoughtful next to a vase of roses. I think I would look good photographed with celebrities.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Celebrities?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’m thinking I’d like to be in a photo shoot with Ryan Gosling.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Well, get in line.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
There’s a line for him? Well, no matter, I’m sure he would prefer me. I’m sure he’s a cat person. You can just tell. And he’ll want me in the picture because I’m going to be a celebrity myself. Like Hello Kitty. And Le Chat Noir. And Grumpy Cat. And that Japanese cat who dives into bags.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Ryan Gosling is going to think you spend way too much time on the internet.
Love, Carolyn
