Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I know you always like to be right, but I think this time you don’t get it. That cat is not afraid of me. He charges at me. He ambushes me. He hisses at me. He says really really bad things to me.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
He’s just acting crazy tough because he’s afraid of you.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Poppy,
Stand your ground! Don’t let him bully you.

Dear Poppy,
I think he would be shocked if you stood your ground.
Love, Carolyn

XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
She does? Okay. Well then. I’d go along with whatever Mia says. So you should probably run.
Love, Carolyn

Love, Carolyn
