Dear Alex,
Thank you for the letters you wrote. Mama thinks it is nice you still think of me. I took your advice and bought a Gremlin for my birthday. I hope you still have it, I want to keep it forever. Do you still like the movie? I love it, especially the Gremlin. I wish I could have a real one. School is fun. We don’t get to play outside now because it is cold, but I love recess. Do you still get to play a lot? Neal, Nick and I go on adventures together. Do you remember the cool park behind Nick’s house? We know the place better than anyone. Have you ever come back to play with Nick in the park? I think you must, because he is Neal and my best friend. I am sure you guys will go on a lot of adventures together.
Mama and Papa are taking us to North Carolina again. This time we are going with Jarrett and Jason and Joseph and Aunt Joann and Grandmom. It is going to be a lot of fun. I can not wait. Do you remember this trip? Was it as fun as I think it will be? I think Hatteras Island, North Carolina is my most favorite place I have ever been. I love climbing on the dunes and jumping off of them. I think I jumped the farthest last year. Papa bought us boogie boards. They are really fun. I hope you still like to go to North Carolina, because it is the best.
What is it like being old? I think Papa is almost 40 years old now. Mama is too. Do you have kids yet? If you do that must be really cool. I mean, you must have kids and stuff, you are 31. Mama was 30 when she had me. Do they call you Papa too? Where do you live now? Have you stayed near Mama and Papa? Mama wanted me to ask you if you are behaving? Does Mama still ask you questions like that? She always seems worried about you, not so much me. I guess it is because I still live with them. They know what I am doing all the time.
I have been drawing a lot of cool pictures. Neal and I have lots of drawing pads. We love to draw. I think it is a lot of fun to draw cool little worlds and places. Mama and Papa have this book of Goblins and Fairies. I wish I could draw like that. Do you still like to draw? Have you drawn any cool things like me? Do they let you draw at work? We have art class in School. It is really fun, we make a lot of stuff. The other day we took paper mache and put it on a balloon. When it dried we popped the balloon and we were left with the paper only. It is fun because then we could paint them any way we wanted. I painted mine like a monster.
Well, it is getting late. Mama says it is time for bed. I don’t want to go to bed.
Love,
Charles
