I am way behind on my posting. I will get to it soon. But I just had to post this little gem out of sequence because it cracked me up so much and is so sweet at the same time.
Last night I was in the kitchen helping Sophie wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen. Noah appeared and handed me a note, along with a pen and a blank piece of paper to write my reply. This it what is said..
“Dear High Queen of the Charles Clan, I hope it is okay if I have read the three books of the series “Hunger Games”. If it is not okay, I regret to inform you that I have already done so. Please let me know if I may watch the film, “Hunger Games” next Saturday. Please write your answer on the enclosed piece of paper.
Kind Regards, Sarah”
I wrote her back that it was okay that she read the books. (They were on the Kindle for me, but she had read everything of hers on there, had heard about them, and wanted to know what all the fuss was about.) I asked if she liked them, and if she would like to talk about them with me. Then I told her that I would have to discuss her watching the movie with her father before I gave her an answer. Then I handed the paper to the cute little messenger and off he went to deliver it.
When I saw her a few minutes later, I asked her if I could post her letter on my blog because I thought it was so clever and funny. She said no, and I agreed not to. But then, a bit later, the messenger reappeared, with a new note.
“Dear High Queen of the Charles Clan, I am very much relieved at your words. Yes, I liked the books very much. I shall think about your offer. It is understandable that you want to talk about watching the movie with the High King. Yes, it is okay if you post my letters on Facebook.
Warm Regards,
Princess Sarah of the Charles Clan”
So, there you have it. A favorite form of communicating things that are a bit scary to ask face to face in our family, and a peek into Sarah’s creative mind.
