Just like your old man...

Dear son,

This afternoon your mother was telling me how active you became in her belly after she ate some pears. She's been on a real pear kick lately; she's crazy about them. She was saying you kick a lot after she eats something sweet. I think you get that from me. I'm a madman for sugar. I've got a real sweet tooth. When presented with candy I have the tendency to wolf it down, barely tasting it. I can do okay when there's none around; I can live without it. But if there's some around I have to eat it. Nobody else in our family seems to feel that way toward sweets, so maybe you won't either. Although the way your mom says you kick after she eats something sweet makes me wonder. Eh, it's all a matter of diet, environment, and upbringing anyway. Don't worry; I won't let you have too much--or worse, too little.

Love,
Dad
