Cheezy
by carolynholm
Dear Mom,
The car is a terrible terrible terrible invention.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’m sorry, I know you hate it, but we had to take you to the Vet.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I am not sick!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No, you’re not! Isn’t that wonderful? But you still have to go in once a year for an annual exam and some shots.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I’d rather not.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
We know. But you shouldn’t worry about it! Everyone there is so sweet. They all love you, and want you to stop worrying.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Why was the vet spraying cheese everywhere?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That certainly lightened things up. It was an accident. A hilarious accident. He wanted to give you a cheezy treat but the squirter blew it out sideways. All over him and on his keyboard.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
All that loud laughing was alarming.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I know sweetie, you can’t seem to tell the difference between laughing and shouting. But we were definitely laughing. Didn’t that make the visit a bit easier?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
We still had to go in the car. Both ways.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
At least you didn’t barf this time. That’s usually reserved for longer trips.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
You hate the car too.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I don’t hate the car! Why would you say that?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
You yell in the car. You yell things like “Hey dumbass, can you go any slower?”
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I don’t yell, I just say things firmly. And I only say them when I’m alone in the car.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I’m there.
XOXO Poppy
