Naomi had her kindergarten graduation a few weeks ago. Summer was home and able to go with me. For part of the graduation, the parents read a letter to their child and, of course, I had waited until the last minute to write it. I ended up dictating it to Summer, while I barreled down the freeway in the tail end of rush hour traffic. When someone wouldn't let me into the carpool lane, I uttered an exclamation of disgust, which Summer helpfully included in the letter. See if you can find it. Summer also had fun with spelling while she took down what I was saying and I have retained her creativity below.
Here it is -
Dear Naomi,

That hilarious! Did she wonder why there were "curses" in her letter ;)
Thankfully, I had the presence of mind to skip that part when I read it out loud, but it would have made kindergarten graduation more interesting if I had read the whole thing :)
