The Envelope, Please
posted May 18, 2009 at 1:25pm
I got home late tonight. Sophie was already in bed. It was sitting on the mail table, still sealed, in an envelope decorated with school stuff — apples and mortarboards — addressed to Sophie.
The Teacher Letter.
I considered ripping it open; she wouldn’t really know the difference. But I couldn’t do that. So there it sits, waiting til morning, the whole year inside.
i don’t think i can wait that long. the suspense is killing me. anna still hasn’t received her teacher letter. so much depends upon…
