Aunty's letter
Dear Sanju baba,
I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live
where we did when you left home. Your Pa read in the newspaper that most
accidents happen within 20 minutes of your home, so we moved. I won't be able
to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house
numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address.
This place is really nice. I even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it
works so well, though, Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the
chain, we haven't seen it since.
The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first
time for three days and the second time for fourdays.
About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle said it would be too
heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them
in the pockets.
Bablu locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried
because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is
yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your
brother.
Uncle Rakesh fell into a swimming pool last week. Some men tried to pull
him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated; he burned for
three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Bablu was
driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends
were in the back, they drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. I
am now closing this letter and will share more good news with you again next
time.
Your Favorite Aunt,
P.S...If this letter does not reach you, please let me know, I will send
u another.
