Dear Mommy,

Who is this Hello Kitty??????!!!!!

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

She’s from Japan.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

I want to meet her!!!!!!

Love Mia

Dear Mia,

Sorry Sweetie, that’s not possible, she’s not real.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Yes she is!  She’s a celebrity, she’s everywhere!  I want to be her! She’s written books.  I want to write books.

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

I don’t think she’s written any books. It takes a lot of time and hard work to write a book, and I don’t think that’s something a cartoon celebrity can pull off. That’s just a coloring book you’ve got there.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

It’s a book, she’s on the cover. I want to be a famous cat like she is!

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

It would be nice if you were.  Hello Kitty licensing must rake in serious money.  Imagine if you brought in some income!  It would be like winning the lottery.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Would I have to share it?

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

Don’t you think you should?

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Not if I’m the one with all the talent.

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

Honey, we’ve been totally supporting you for nine years.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

It’s not very polite to point out that I am middle-aged.

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

I’m sorry Sweetie. Of course you’re not really. At heart you’re an ageless Celebrity Cat. Your picture should be on notebooks and plastic purses everywhere.

Love, Carolyn
