Carolyn's Critters

Dear Mom,
Who exactly is the Dumbass? 
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Ouf, you heard me arguing with the TV again.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
You’ve been yelling at the newscast a lot lately. It’s alarming.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I wouldn’t call it yelling… more like commenting.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Sort of yelling.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Commenting emphatically
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Quietly yelling.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Fair enough
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
It’s loud enough that we can all hear you. It’s alarming.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I’m sorry. I’ll try to tone it down.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Do the people inside the TV hear you?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
No of course not.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Is the guy behind the desk the Dumbass?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
No, it’s the folks he’s talking about.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
We don’t understand why you don’t just turn off the TV and curl up on the sofa. Then you wouldn’t be annoyed by what he’s saying.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Sorry, it just makes me feel better to hurl insults at the news.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
They should listen to you. You are smart.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Thank you!!! They should listen to me.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Though, how smart is it to yell at people who can’t hear you?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Ouf, everyone’s a critic.
Love, Carolyn
