That darn kid...

Dear Nicky,

It was really a tough day at Stones for you because there was this darn new kid there who wouldn't stop crying, screaming really, and he made this kid who's older than you cry like a madman also. It was very distracting, and, as it persisted throughout the whole time we were there, it eventually wore you out and you started to cry terribly too. You cried the whole way home, miserably, piteously, and finally you calmed down and took a nap. Happily, you woke up sunny and ate a decent lunch and dinner. This afternoon some guys came by and trimmed our trees in the back yard. I hope this lets more sun in; that'd be good. I'm still thinking about that darn kid...! Makes me mad. Grrr!

Love,
Dad
