Times Are Tough All Over
I’m addicted to Found Magazine, so I tend to keep stuff like this I find blowing down the street. This letter tells a pretty great story with a dramatic punchline…seems the guy writing the letter feels pretty guilty about the real reason he’s writing Gramps and Granny. And since I found it out on the street in Illinois, and not in Indiana, I’d like to think he didn’t end up sending this version of his pity party invitation. No one likes a spineless grandson. Though, for the record, I do hope Grandma isn’t flooding. No one benefits from that.
The letter’s pretty beat up, and my cat ate part of it (she chews shit up. She ate my paycheck once) but here’s what it says:
Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
Just thought I’d drop you a line. I purchased doubles in hopes these pictures turned out good—well they did! Hope you enjoy them. I spoke to Sarah last night and she needed me to watch BOTH kids this weekend! So I will definitely get some birthday ideas from them. I think it’s gonna be rainy, SO board games will be fun. I see Northern Indiana is flooding, hope your not. Rent might be hard due to having the kids now for two weekends in a row. My landlord name is John at Bally Apartments. Thank you so much! Love, G.
Happy Friday, and call your grandparents. You know, for the right reasons.

I like how this guy started writing his letter in pen, but then switched to black Sharpie to enhance the tone of desperation. “Seriously Gramps, this is the last writing utensil I have in the house! Need money bad … gotta boil apple cores and make soup for the kids this weekend.”
