Yesterday a letter arrived in the post.
Addressed to my husband and I, it was from the 6yo…
We knew that his class had been working on persuasive letters. We weren’t expecting one to arrive in the mail!
I opened it and it made me laugh out loud. Suffice to say, he won’t be getting what he asked for, but he will be getting lots of points for his persuasive reasoning!
I’m all for quiet time, bless him, but I’m still not getting him a hamster (or a hampster)!
[Update 8 June 2015: I am revisiting this old post for the From the Mouths of Babes linky, from the lovely Louise of Little Hearts Big Love. It still makes me chuckle; and now (just shy of his ninth birthday) his persuasive reasoning has only improved! It turned out to be the first in a series of letters… I’ll be back next week to share the second one!]
I love it! Bless him, that would nearly make me get him a hampster. Nearly ;) Thanks for joining in!
Indeed, nearly, but not quite – I would so end up feeding and cleaning it! Glad to join in the link, really enjoyed the other posts, will try and get back next week :)
Ahh bless him, he’s asked so nicely as well!!
Hmm, still not getting one :)
I just loved this! Wanted to comment from my phone but couldn’t (as usual!). I think I would be seriously persuaded by this letter! Love the mention of you having quiet time, made me chuckle – clever little man :-) ps thanks for the mention x
It was the quiet time that, almost, got me :) And you’re very welcome for the mention xx
Brilliant letter! And he writes so well, I can’t imagine how it must have felt to get a letter from him in the post, how lovely! Are you still sure you’re not convinced enough to get him one??
He almost, but not quite, convinced me – it would definitely be me that ended up looking after it :) Seeing his writing on the envelope was brilliant!
How sweet! Kitty has been asking for a baby guineapig for a month now- I’m starting to feel myself giving in!
Yeah, we’re wavering… We’ll see :) Thanks for reading!
Aww thats is so cute – did you cave? :)
Not yet… But I have to admit that we are thinking about it…!
Ah that’s lovely! Nice try :) I’m looking forward to mine being able to write!
Thanks! I’m still trying to stand strong (I just know it would be me that ended up feeding/cleaning it) but I have to say that we are starting to consider it… thanks for reading xx
Haha, this is brilliant! I love that you got it in the post, and I LOVE that he mentions quiet time – he definitely knows how to be persuasive doesn’t he?! xx #ftmob
He really does! He can be quite the negotiator :)
Love it! The bit about the ‘qiete time’ for you was inspired! xx
Wasn’t it though? He knows me well!
Oh bless him, that is a very persuasive letter and love “hampster” for hamster. He must be quite hard to resist sometimes if his persuasive skills have since improved! Thank you for sharing with #ftmob :-)
He is very hard to resist :)
