Dear Grandma Polly;
I have a writing assignment and I’m not sure how to handle it. It’s a strange one. It’s just one word, well maybe it’s two words or one word and a modifier. Well it’s “BOLD (emotionally).”
You see my problem is, I want to sound like General Patton but I’m five foot eighteen and I weigh about the same as a sack of potatoes. My shadow looks like a stick walking and when I speak, people pay more attention to a breeze blowing than to me talking.
Your devoted reader from no place in particular
Dear devoted reader;
Honey you can start by adding a big “D” and a big “R” to your name cause, you is somebody. Why, I knows this big girl who wears mini skirts and struts like a Hollywood sex symbol. She’s got a whole heard of bulls with their tongue’s hanging out chasing after her.
Second thing is darlin’, you may live in a hick town that’s no more than a freckle on a map but you’s from some place important. You got your start in God’s workshop and before He sent you out the door He gave you a belly button. Belly buttons is God’s mark of quality.
As for sounding like General Patton a rose aint’ ever gonna smell like a skunk. So keep on being the best rose you can be and the breeze will spread your goodness into the hearts of folks ever where.
Your Grandma Polly has spoken and if you’re listening she’ll be staying up late to catch you on Letterman one of these days.
Love ya darlin’
Grandma P.

I believe this was supposed to resemble a Dear Abby type column, and you did well. G'ma P's voice was dripping with southern goodness.
