Dear Rebecca.

Work sucks. But that’s the topic 4 another time.
I remember a letter I intercepted once from my sister. She was about to give my Dad to mail. She pleaded wit me to give her back her leta but nay I had enuf sense at that time to hold unto it.
Well the recipient of her leta was Rebecca one of them newspaper shrinks/psychologists u know like Dear Abby ETC. Dear Rebecca was a shrink for vanguard newspaper. We had a fascination for those cock and bull stories it was fiction at its highest. I cant remember the wordings o the leta verbatim but it was sumtin like this
Dear Rebecca,
I am a mother of three children. A while back while playing my kids ran into a snake. As I was looking for a stick to kill it, the snake bit one of my kids. The child died before we got to the hospital. I then resolved to always have a stick handy. 2 months later armed robbers came to my house and used the handy stick to beat me and my kids another one died. My problem is I don’t know wat to do I have one child left and don’t know if I should keep a stick or not. Please help me.

Worried mother.
Before anyone points out the loopholes in the story of which there are a zillion bear in mind this was written over 15 years ago.

We still laugh over this. But now I am left wondering wat would have happened had we posted the letter. Would it have been published, wat would Rebecca advice.
