Dear Mom,
The cats say the world outside our house is dangerous now.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I’ve told you not to listen to the cats. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
But they both watch television. They know what is going on. I don’t usually listen to Puffin, but Mia is very smart.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
She is. But the world outside our house is just going through a tough time. That’s why Dad and I are pretty much staying home.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Except for our walks.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Yes, thank heavens for our walks!
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Mia says this plague will make everyone sick. Are you going to get sick?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I don’t intend to. Please don’t worry! 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Puffin says it’s a catastrophe. And Mia says catastrophe has the word cat in it so we should all be worried.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
They are being insufferable. It’s another reason not to listen to the cats. Poppy, sweetie, we’ll be fine. We’re doing everything we can to stay healthy. And speaking of being healthy, pretty soon it will be time for our walk. If it stops raining.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
That’s another thing! Rain!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
It’s spring, sweetie. It’s the time for rain. That’s as it should be.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
But I don’t poop in the rain.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
There is that problem. At least that’s a problem I’m accustomed to.
Love, Carolyn
