Today I was going through a box of old pictures in the storeroom when I ran across a very funny letter that I wrote years and years ago that someone (my mom) kindly had saved. As you you shall soon see, it is by no means based in reality, but rather a product of a child's very active imagination.
Here it is:
"Dearest Maxamillion,
Lamb Chop. Do please remind Edgar to take the mercedes in to fix that dreadful choking sound. Oh, and please instruct Rosalind to cancel the catering service for Saturday night. Their lobster dish is horrid and Cook can do just as well. Frederick has a violin quartet performance at the Governor's mansion at 2 o'clock this afternoon. There isn't a way in the world I could tear myself away from Mimi's charity luncheon, so I'm afraid you will have to go. Frederick depends on it. Take the helicopter if you must. Just one more thing, darling--call Marcel at the travel agency. Tell him it is imperative that we get Gateshead for the 20th. Really, our soiree will not survive without the tiered gardens. Dearest--thank you ever so much. I do hate to pile on such a list on your day off, but life must go on--musn't it?
With Tenderest of Regards,
Charlotte."
Tell me, wasn't I meant to live the life of a filthy rich socialite? What happened?

baaahahaha! Brooke you are the best!
And hello? you ARE upper crust.
Cant wait for Baby C.!
That is so funny. I am glad your mom kept that so you could eventually one day share with all of those who are missing you very much.
That's hilarious! I'm sure it's all to come... :)
Oh that's beautiful. A girl can dream can't she?
are you kidding me? what in the world little girl has a vocabulary like that? how old were you when you wrote that, 18? it was very well written as well as entertaining.
Brooke-if you were upper crust then we wouldn't be friends-in fact, you would probably be referring to me as "Cook"
you could have very well been named "charlotte" my dear. i only just realized the "larson" 801 number on my caller id was probably you. are you still in UT? helena told me you had gone to CO. call me if you can and I promise to pick up or call you back.
I always knew you came from a time machine from a different era.
Now I want to know how you are and about the move and when is the baby coming, etc.!!!
Hilarious...you have to tell how old you were when you wrote that! What an amazing imagination and vocabulary, thanks so much for sharing it!
simply brilliant my dear!
as i said before, simply brilliant!
(sorry, was logged in as my mother.)
