Dear Courteney


Dear Courteney,

Hi! Its you…! Well its you when you were 8!

I see you haven’t grown much…

At least not taller..

Whatcha doin??

Im writing you a letter with my pretty pink crayon

Hey do you remember when Katie came over and we colored a pretty princess on the wall?

Mom was mad!

She took my crayons away for a whole month!

So have you kissed a boy yet?

Gross

Have you kissed a girl yet?

Grosser

I remember that time when Billy bought me that valentine with the BIG heart on it and I threw it away because it had boy coodies all over it

Do you still have that stash of boogers in the corner of the closet?

What color are they?

Is it bigger?

I wonder what 10 years of boogers looks like!

Does mom let you ride in the front seat yet?

I hope you’re not still stuck in the booster seat in the back of the car

In the future do they have hovercars?

I hope they do! That’d be cool!
