Dear Oak,
You were eating snacks, and we were reading books together. We read a book about arguing and then not arguing. We read a book about eating babies SO MUCH. We read a book about all the scary (not really) animals in the marsh. We were reading a book about an Ift named Snutt when you asked, “Guess what I did at Honey’s house?” I think that I guessed, “Climb trees.” You said, “Don’t guess. I’ll tell you. We had a birthday party for my Dad and ate chocolate cake.”
I said, “We read a book about a birthday party for a daddy where there was cake (the one about eating babies). I don’t think it was chocolate. Chocolate cake is my favorite cake.” You told me it was your favorite too. The person next to you also said it was their favorite. Someone else jumped in and said, “Vanilla.” And another person said, “Chocolate and Vanilla.” I thought they might mean vanilla cake with chocolate frosting, but no. Then I thought they might mean one layer of vanilla and one layer of chocolate, but no. They meant chocolate cake with vanilla. Someone added strawberry cake and a milkshake.
I wonder if anyone is hungry for cake.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
