| I hope that your nephew is as strong as a mighty oak. (I thought it would be funny to say that.) It must be real exciting to get to fight ogres and monsters all the time! I've only ever seen one ogre -- Mr. McConnell, my Geography teacher. He's got a big pot belly and snaggly teeth and hair growing out of his ears and he's real grumpy all the time, so I'm pretty sure he's an ogre. He made me stay after class and wash the blackboard because I couldn't remember the name of some dumb river. If you're ever in town, I'll find out where he lives so you can hit him with your sword. That'll teach him! Ha ha ha, see what I did there? There's a new afterschool club for protesting BRICKO sculptures. I think I might join it. I mean, I'm not really into that stuff, but Morgan Valentine is a member, and I figure maybe if I get there early I could sit next to her. I still have to tidy the rabbits to earn my allowance, and I usually blow it on comic books and bubble gum. My favorite comic right now is The Infamous Ash Dread -- I can't believe the stuff he gets up to every month! |
