Lady Pants

Mommy,
I don’t understand half of what Puffin says.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s because half of what he says is in French.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
He came here from France?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No, he didn’t. Puffin isn’t French. He’s from Los Angeles. From the gutters of South Central LA to be specific. Don’t pay any attention to him.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
He’s very noisy. It’s hard not to pay attention to him.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy
Well, just don’t encourage him. He’s insufferable as it is.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
What about Mia?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
What about her?
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Is she insufferable?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Mia is very sweet. Most of the time. But she does make remarks that you should just ignore.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Like when she calls me Lady Pants?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I didn’t know she called you that. That’s funny. You do look like you have some very lady-like pantaloons.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Mia also says I’m a Dumb Blonde.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That wasn’t a very nice thing to say. I’ll speak to her.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
But it’s true. I’m not smart like Mia, and I’m definitely blond.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You’re as smart as you need to be, honey. Mia isn’t all that brainy herself. Next time she calls you Lady Pants you have my permission to call her Smarty Pants.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Now I’m confused. If she isn’t smart, why am I calling her Smarty Pants?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Good point. I don’t know what I was thinking.
Love, Carolyn
