Lost and Found

Given all this, a more obnoxious person than your potential mother — surely there must be one? — might ask: do you have to be a stupid idiot to have children?

But if you do get this message, please write back. I’d love to hear where you are, what you’ve been up to — the whole shebang.

Love,
(How shall I sign this? )

Dear Almost-Mom,

Thanks for your letter. No hard feelings about your decision not to have me (not sure I get the whole playdate thing, but I’m glad you got it off your chest). Don’t forget, I chose you. I take full responsibility for my decision and am ready to move on.

Best wishes,
Almost-Child

After 20 years teaching woodworking to kids using power tools of all kinds and working with progressively younger ones each year I had the Heath and safety branch of the local board of education,first tell me the kids couldn;t use the tools and afew days later (in the middle of a 12 day project)that I couldn;t use the tools. One large aspect and benefit of this project has been to teach safety,in the midst of danger.Litigation for the Nation.
