Greeting Phrases

  • Arr, Matey. (That's how I'd say hi if I were a pirate.)
  • I hope your throat has been freshly washed. (That's how my cousin says I should start letters. Only he calls 'em "correspondence" cause he's a lawyer.)
  • I trust your brother is in good health. (I learned that in school!)
  • How's it going?
  • Heyo!

Fun Stories

  • I heard that all the cool kids over there are braiding bottlecaps. I think it sounds a little delicious, but maybe I'll give it a try.
  • My dad went a little crazy last night and painted my whole room amber. And I mean the *whole* room. So now my sheets are all stiff and everything smells like wet paint. Do you know how to get paint off of a video game? I'm seriously jonesing without my Evil Galaxy 15 -- I mean, I just unlocked the variant Topaz Mount before all this happened!
  • I just got a new pet banana slug! I named it Stinky. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and rake him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure.
  • The other day, me and Andy went out to the scary old mineshaft by my house to look for treasure. It was scary! We had to run away from a bunch of drunk hobos, and I scraped my knee up pretty bad, but it was worth it, because we found a cool rusty compass!
  • Allie came by the fort today and asked to come in, but Andy said she should go filter her pet Siamese fighting fish instead. She got real mad, but what do you expect? The signs clearly state "NO GIRLS ALLOWED". (Well, except for Margie, but she's basically one of the guys so she gets an exception.)
  • Benny Cartwright keeps talking about selling little green army men. Who does that anymore? That was AGES ago! Nowadays everyone is building coins. What do they do for fun where you live? Maybe that'll be the next big thing over here!
  • I just got a new pet guinea pig! I named it Stinky. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and depilitate him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure.
  • Me and Davey spent a few hours working on our cool tree fort yesterday. We're almost done with the sauna and we're working on a hedge maze to keep the girls out.

Item-Giving Stories

  • I put a ton of quarters into the Pokëmann vending machine today, trying to get the ultra-rare Kleptone figure, but no such luck! Here's one of my extras.
  • My mom got me these pants, but they're way too big for me. She says I'll grow into 'em, but I think they look stupid, so I'm just gonna send 'em to you and tell her I lost 'em.
  • I invented these great gloves. They're regular gloves, but they're covered with maple syrup on the outside, so it's way easier to pick stuff up. Mr. Davis at the comic book shop said it made it a little too easy to pick stuff up, especially stuff like Pokëmann cards I hadn't paid for. He banned me from the store until I got rid of the gloves, but they're so cool that somebody ought to have them.


Parting Phrases

  • I'll tell you more about it next time.
  • My dad's shouting about something, I'd better go see what he wants. Bye!
  • Okay, gotta go. Write me back!
