"Dear Mr. President"

Class assignment

"Dear Mr. President, my name is Lily, and I'm in the 3rd grade. My teacher is Miss Hopkins. She told us to write you a letter, so that's what I'm doing. My daddy likes you, and says you're just what the country needs. My mommy says you're a Nean--Nean--well, I can't spell that word, so I'll just say, 'not good.' I used to enjoy getting home from school, but not anymore, and it's your fault. I'm tired of them always fighting. My dad tells me I shouldn't believe anything I see on T. V., and my mommy says it's only Fox. When I was little, they used to tell me I could trust what I saw on T. V., so I'm a little confused. 

My dad then asks my mommy where his dinner is, and mommy says McDonald's. I like McDonald's, and get super-excited, but then my daddy says a bad word, and says she's a lousy wife, and my mommy waves her middle finger at him. Some of the boys in Miss Hopkins class do that when Miss Hopkins has turned away, and giggle. I don''t know what it means, exactly, but my mommy's not giggling when she does it, so it's probably bad. So, I guess what I wish, is that my mommy and daddy stop fighting; do you think you could write them and issue one of them executive thingies so they stop? I'd like that, and I'd like you."

Suspectfully yours, Lilly
