Love Letters 7
Funny Letter.....
Dear Sanju baba,
I'm writting this slow because I know you can't read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your Pa read
in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20
minutes of your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send
you the address because the last family that lived here took
the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to
change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine.
I'm not sure it works so well, though, Last week I put a
load of clothes in and pulled the chain, we haven't seen it
since.
The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week;
the first time for
three days and the second time for four days
About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle said it
would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on,
so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
Bablu locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really
worried because it took him two hours to get me and your
father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out
what it is yet so
I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks
just like your
brother.
Uncle Rakesh fell into a swimming pool last week. Some men
tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We
had him cremated; he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck.
Bablu was driving.
He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two
friends were in the back, they drowned because they couldn't
get the tailgate down. I am now closing this letter and will
share more good news with you again next time.
Your Favorite Aunt,
Manthra
