EXCERPTS FROM MY MOTHER'S EDITORIAL NOTES ON MY LETTERS TO SANTA, 1987-2000. »
1987
Jen,
I think there’s some good stuff here. It’s too bad that it’s buried under a pile of holiday clichés and trite generalizations. You’ve been a “good girl?” What is the reader supposed to gather from that? Is that the author’s subjective opinion about her behavior over the past twelve months, or rather a more objective assessment based on society’s standards of what qualifies as a “good girl?” A little clarification would go a long way and most likely garner better results for what the author is trying to get, which, at the most superficial of levels, is apparently a Teddy Ruxpin doll.
With love,
MomPS. All your “J’s” are backwards.
