I won’t be posting a picture of it because it has personal info and is pretty illegible (she used different color inks on colored paper and had trouble keeping the sentences on lines), but I will transcribe it here minus the names. So without further ado, the transcription of The Spawn’s unfinished letter to...
The Spawn
Happy Chicken Day!
Every Tuesday is Chicken Day because Popeye’s has a ridiculously cheap special that we take advantage of. My normal Chicken Day schedule: Go to Popeye’s and get chicken. Pick up The Spawn from the after school program. Drive home. Eat. Simple right? Hard to mess up? This is what happened today: Go to Popeye’s...
Choosing a movie with The Spawn
The Spawn, pointing at a picture: I want to watch this movie. Me: Episode I? You want to watch Episode 1? The Spawn: Yes. Me: Okay, let me find the disc. Me, searching: Oooh Ghostbusters! Now that’s a good movie! The Spawn: I haven’t watched that movie. Me: But it’s a good movie. You’d...
Turkey talk with The Spawn
The Spawn and I climbed into the car to run our pre-Thanksgiving errands today. As usual, I explain what we’re doing and how we’re getting there, because I like that she pays attention to her surroundings. This leads to the following conversation, which I tweeted as soon as we reached our destination: Obviously, when...
Princess Leia: Wig or no wig?
I have an extremely important question. Wig or no wig for The Spawn? I prefer no wig, but The Spawn says that it’s the wrong color and the buns aren’t big enough. What do you think? She doesn’t know who Pippi Longstockings is, because otherwise …
Knitting Fairy Tale
Hey Kate! I’ve been reading The Spawn a fairy tale from The Golden Book of Fairy Tales every night at bedtime. I don’t think she’s really paying attention to the plot and the characters, but she has definitely got the format down. The other night, my mouth hurt too much to read, so she...
Giving it a Spin
Hey Kate, Last night, I watched crime shows and drafted the roving I’ve had for over a year and never did anything with. It’s not the softest in the world, which made it not as pleasant as it could have been. In fact, by the time I was done with most of the drafting,...
My New Appendage
Hey Kate! The Spawn is modeling my new iPod armband. After all of that searching and kvetching and teststitching, I ended up cannibalizing my first, unfinished sock and crocheting a pocket to sew on it. It isn’t particularly fetching, but it is useful and fun and surprisingly more comfortable than I was expecting. The...
Mitts for The Spawn
Hey Kate! Yes, it’s 80 degrees out, but I don’t care. I’m still happy I finally finished the mitts for The Spawn and so is she. It should have been an hour project and they should match better and be better knitting, but when you knit and reknit and drop the project and pick...
Patience!
Hey Kate, I’m out of it right now because The Spawn is just so bouncy! But I’m happy with the results and here they are: a new bracelet!That’s all I got. Robin
