Dear Mommy,

I won an award!

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

That’s so exciting! What is it for?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

You should know!!!!!! You told me about it!!!!!

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

I did? Are you sure?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

You did!!!!! But Mia says you say that all the time. To every dog.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

Okay, I think we’ve had this conversation before. Is this about the Best Dog Ever?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

IT IS!!!!!!!

XOXO POPPY

 

Dear Poppy,

Sweetie, you are the Best. Dog. Ever.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

But Mia says it’s meaningless when you say that. Because you throw that award around to everyone. And Puffin says you call every cat the Best Cat Ever.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

You probably shouldn’t listen to the cats. They like to cause trouble.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Mia says you called Molly the Best Dog Ever.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

I did call her that. Because she was. But Molly’s gone now, and now you are the Best Dog Ever!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Is that better than being the Best Cat Ever?

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

It’s apples and oranges, honey.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Now I’m really confused. Am I an apple or an orange? Mia says you are trying to evade the question.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

You tell Mia to mind her own business.

Love, Carolyn
