Mother's Lament

Dear Tom:

Your father and I have been
reading the newspaper since your
election and quite frankly we're
worried. You shouldn't be so rude
to people because you'll only get in
trouble. I know you have told me
that Bill Fryer is a nice boy, but
after reading some of the things he
has written I have my doubts,
although I admit he is an improvement
over Bob Cullen.

Please study hard and phone us
at least once a week.

Your Loving Mother
