I cleaned out Quinn’s backpack over the weekend. It was full of papers from the past few weeks and art projects and such. Teachers were gratefully filling up backpacks around the country, decluttering their space for the New Year.

Inside the backpack I found this letter to Santa. It’s a sad state of affairs when your kid’s Dear Santa letter says “I will be good” next to “I did not get a kidney.” And no, I didn’t tell her to write this. I would have at least had her use proper grammar and spelling.
