A note from my son

This came in the mail, addressed to The Parents of Haydn Wells

Dear Dad,

I am writing this because I have to for Science class. I am also writing this letter to say thank you for caring for me and loving me. You have always helped when I really needed you to. You took me to football practice and supported me driving to the games. You have paid for my admissions to the dances for me. You bought me a guinea pig. For all this, I want to say thank you.

Sincerely,

Haydn


While I try not to embarrass my children with my blog, I just had to post this.

Makes it all worth it, doesn't it?

Priceless.

Science class?

That is adorable! But...science class? That's kind of...confusing. Of course, I had a science teacher in 8th grade that showed Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom over and over again and I could never make the connection, so I guess there you go. ;)

Sweet letter...especially the guinea pig part.

Pen: It really does. I may have to cut Haydn some slack when it comes to cleaning his room next week.

Rob, Diane: I had the same thought about Science Class. Maybe this is part of some sort of science experiement. You know, send dad a nice letter one week, and the next week ask for something really big.

Phoenix: The guinea pig was certainly a learning experience. He has, recently and unfortunately, gone to the big cage in the sky.
