Dear Mr. President

Last week, following the inauguration, Joseph's 1st grade class wrote letters to the new president, first lady, and/or their 2 daughters. Joseph wanted to write to all of them, so he brought his papers home to finish. I "sneeked a peek" at his letter to the president, and I just had to copy it and blog it. Here is what he wrote (with his spelling):

Dear Barack Obama,

Do you know my famley is not ritch. So will you give my famley some money? PLEASE. So we can buy the stuf we need?

• yes
• no

from, Joseph

So, I guess I have a bit of a socialist for a son. Either that, or he just knows that I tell him "no, we can't afford that" too often and he figured he'd just ask the president to help us out so he could have the "stuf we need" - you know like more games for the wii, his own DS, etc....
