Dear Charlie,

I’m sorry, you’ve left me no recourse but to send along a “To Do” List in you school back pack so you remember to hand in all the various permission slips and other paperwork, the weekly homework and the check for $20 to pay down your overdue Hot Lunch tab (the Lunch Ladies have grown restless lately).  You must also remember to look for the two water bottles, the set of anti-motion sickness bands from the field trip to Sanborn Park last week and the two sweatshirts and coat that have gone missing somewhere on the campus of Argonaut Elementary School.

Love,

Mom
