The following is a paraphrase of a birthday card my 10 year old granddaughter made for a good friend of hers.  Her parents made her make another one to give her friend because….well, you will understand when you read what she had written.

“Dear……,  Happy Birthday!  I’m so glad that I could come today to your birthday……gift…tomorrow….present because we have a huge problem in our house.  We have termites eating our wood and also our water heater was leaking.  So we have to replace our carpet and get lanolium.  So we have mold and we have to replace our kitchen.  So the next time you come to our house you are going to see a difference or see an ugly floor all torn out and see termites because I saw one with my own eyes!  Have a great birthday!  Your friend…Peace!”

Sydnie is such a sweet girl!
