The Letters

My brother is attending a retreat right now. He and his classmates were asked to write a letter to their parents. Here are excerpts from the letters my 12-year old brother wrote.

TO: Mom & Dad (PS = Basahin niyo una kay Mommy)

From: SON (Alangan, may iba pa ba)

Dear Mommy,

Thank you sa pag-aral niyo ni Daddy sa akin. Payag ka sana mag-Marine Biologist ako. Makita niyo ako sa newspaper ... doon sa Wanted. :) hehehe ... Salamat sa pag-alaga sa 'kin. Salamat sa mga cake. xxx Basta pinaka-mas magpasalamat ako kung BS in Marine Biology :)

Dear Daddy,

Salamat. Kung pwede basahin mo nalang ang letter ni Mommy, sa bagay parehas lang rin ang isusulat ko. :) Sayang kasi ang ballpen ink. Krisis ngaun. Sorry ka'y masapot ka pag mag-away kami nila ate. Sila man naga-una. xxx May award ako dad, ha ...

Hilarious!

I imagined him writing a letter that would touch the hearts of my mom and dad. I think that's what these retreat letters are for. I am not sure what to make out of my brother through these letters he wrote. Although, I'm pretty sure he made us laugh.

Ambot kay JJ .. haha!

I guess it would be really funny if we get to read these letters again four or five years from now.
