Thanks for that. Turkey, your comment made me laugh out loud, which I don’t do often. Thanks for that.

'Cuz we all know how delicious that can be (does anyone else feel the need for Italian right now?) Sigh. I weep for this generation. Seriously, everyone of these kids needs a secretary. Or parents. Or legal guardian... I truly hope no one thinks that Sahra (what?) is too “PEPPERAZZI”. ‘Cuz we all know how delicious that can be (does anyone else feel the need for Italian right now?) Sigh.

These are middle-school-level kids writing like 7 year-olds. I don't understand how you write like that and still be able to read, quite frankly. "...'Harry Potter waved his wand to cast the spell'? What does THAT mean...? Oh, now I get it -- they're trying to say he 'wav3d his wand 2 cast teh sp311.' Heh, maybe that's why the author's name is J/K."

“…’Harry Potter waved his wand to cast the spell’? What does THAT mean…?

Oh, now I get it — they’re trying to say he ‘wav3d his wand 2 cast teh sp311.’ Heh, maybe that’s why the author’s name is J/K.”

The original one with Lorne Greene. Thank God no one can post THAT epistle online for the world's entertainment. I think I told Starbuck he could spend the night at my house if he slept on the front porch, and that my mom would probably make grits for breakfast. But at least I spelled everything with actual letters. I actually believed the entire cast would sit around, passing my letter from hand to hand, amazed at the drawings I included of myself and my dog. Anyway, I'm just sayin' we've all been young.

BTW... once again, very scary what kids will tell total strangers on the Internet. This could be a good way for a sick person to get the full names, phone #s, etc. of some very stupid children out there. At least she didn’t claim to have written Eric’s Titanic piece.

The last letter referenced a song that the letter's author said she wrote herself, called "Daddy's Little Princess". The lyrics she "wrote" are from a song called "Love You Both" by Brooke Hogan (Hulk Hogan's daughter). So yeah, that music career is off to a great start - plagerism is so cute! Also, there's a line in the same kid's letter about waking up in the morning and only being able to think about singing means you're meant to be a singer. This is stolen from "Sister Act 2 - Back in the Habit", and Whoopi Goldberg's character says this to Lauren Hill's character. Do I think Lauren Hill was meant to be a singer? Oh yes. Do I think "Pollyanna" is meant to be a singer? Perhaps, but first she'll need to stop claiming all this copyrighted material as her own. Again, yes, I realize how sad it is that I know all these references. If anyone wants to play "Trivial Pursuit" with me though, it's on! :-) OK, so it’s sad that I know this, but…

That gem is a paraphrased quote from "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit." I believe that when you start using Whoopi Goldberg quotes as your personal mantras, something has to be done to stop you. “IVE BEIN TOLD IF YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND YOULL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS MUSIC AND SINGING THEN YOU WERE BORN 2 BE A SINGER..!!!!!!!”

Where are the parents? And why can they naviate the web, send email, and yet, not spell something as simple as you? Was there no spell check??? And what's with the 3/E thing?!?! When will they realize stupidity is not cool?!?!?!?! Aaaaarrrggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s incredible to me that there are children out there that are allowed to be this dumb.
