Dear Jake:
For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been on your team. I handled the 9 months, 20 ultrasounds, and 6 potentially serious problems. You were my baby, and whatever issues we had to deal with once your were born, I was ready to support you. I was surprised to hold a heathly baby in my arms and even more surprised to be holding a redhead. In all of those tests, red hair was never mentioned.
I think your dad left your team a year ago or so. He was much quicker to see your antics. I have defended our team , the "But" team. But, Jake is just a baby. But, it isn't his fault he had a temper- it's the hair. But, he is just surviving the jungle he lives in. Over the last few months you have been adding straw to the camel's back. This week when you dumped your bowl of cereal and milk all over the counter and laughed then 15 minutes later shattered my favorite mixing bowl on the floor; you did it, you broke the camel's back.
I have changed teams and it is in your best interest to change teams too. It is time you joined the rest of us on the "Consequences for Actions" team. I do love you!
Your Mother

I LOVED THIS! What a fun idea. Now it will be great when he as a son and he gets some paybacks - and it will have the blog to look back and know his payment was due.
Lis, you should write a book! I love reading your blog. You are a very talented writer. I love this letter to Jake. Little stinker!
Miss you!
Great post! So sad to hear about your bowl. I had a mug that I loved and Elijah got onto the dining room table and accidentally kicked it on the floor and it broke. I think I would have further lost it (I lost quite a bit) if he would have laughed about it. Hopefully he switches teams soon.
I love this! Best of luck on your new endeavor. Thanks for the laugh!
