Smedley brought this to me here at my computer this evening. She had written on both sides of the paper. Side one:
Side two:
In case you can't make it out, side two reads, "Dear Mom, this is for you because in every heaven, there is a hell. Like getting dogs. Dogs are heaven, cleaning is hell. From, Smedley"
Wanna know what precipitated this? I told them if they didn't get their rooms in order and keep them from going to hell in two hours, like usual, that there is no way I'm gonna invite the dog people here this weekend to interview us to make sure we're a fit home to adopt their doggies. Yeah. Cleaning is hell, gimme a break! Parenting is hell.
And heaven. Aaaaaaaand . . . hell again.

Dogs are indeed heaven. Paddling around up to my knees in puppy pee? Not so much.

Too smart .. watch out, soon she'll be writing manifestos

Your kids write you notes?
Wow.
ps: Here's hoping she meant "66" and not "666"...

A happy face with a peace sign? Nice touch!

Brilliant. She's a genius, I tell you. Way ahead of her time.
(I might not agree with her assessment that dogs are heaven, but still.)
Genius, I tell you. Sheer genius.
