Letters to the Editor 12/1

Dear Slant,

I can’t tell you how helpful your holiday recipe guide was! I especially like that you went out of your way to only include recipes that didn’t involve any actual cooking.
When I was first assigned to bring mashed potatoes to our family’s Thanksgiving celebration, I was terrified. But your simple instructions of “Go to KFC… Buy mashed potatoes,” were so easy to understand that I felt like Emeril Lagasse that night.
I got so many compliments on those potatoes, and hardly anyone believed that they only took five minutes to make. Thanks, Slant.

Sincerely,

Dear Slant,

My goodness, Slant, is that you? You certainly have grown in the past… well how long has it been? I guess I would have seen you at Easter. So what is that, six months? Wow, six months and you’ve just shot up! How tall are you now?
Oh and where is that little girlfriend of yours? You know when your mother called me and told me about your little girlfriend we were all so excited. And relieved. Not that we ever thought that… well I mean you know what I’m saying right? You just went all through high school without even one girlfriend so we were all getting a little worried.
But that’s all behind us now, isn’t it! Now where is she?

Come here and give me a kiss,
Your Aunt,
