A Letter To Ben’s 2nd Grade Teacher

Dear Tonya,

Thank you so much for teaching my kid how to read, how to do math that even I didn’t understand and for making him become a good, responsible kid.
We will miss you so much next year.
I do have a couple questions for you though.
When you said in Ben’s end of the year report card, that he should read 20 minutes a day this summer, you really meant he should be playing his new PS2 20 minutes a day right?

And then when you said he should develop a pen pal and write this summer, you really meant he should IM with his Grandma over Yahoo Messenger. Right?
