Dear Christina

I'm sure you love your daughter and want to protect her from scorn. Really, I am. Is that why you broadcast her name and her catastrophe award for most excuses on homework assignments accross the entire world? You claim she was embarrassed by the award, and because every one laughed at her. I'm sure they did. She deserved it apparently, but instead of letting it end there, you made sure the world knows her shame and can laugh at her as well. Maybe she will learn a lesson from this, you have not. Maybe she will learn to get assignments in on time. Did her precious little ego get bruised. Wah! too bad! Egos get bruised all the time. Its part of life. If you didn't want her to be embarrassed, there are a number of options you could have selected. One was an abortion. I don't favor abortions, in fact I oppose them strongly. You might just be a case though where an abortion would be the correct answer. go talk to your mom, Cassandra's grandmother, and see if she could ram a coat hanger through your ear, its never too late for that. Call it a retroactive late term abortion, very late term. The second option would be to home school her so you are in control. I know that's not an option for you, she is already light years ahead of you because you are a dolt. Option three, the one I recommend, is stay in contact with her teachers. Visit her class room at least one every two weeks, ask how she is doing and whether she is getting assignments in on time. Yannow, you might just learn a thing or three about your daughter, and years down the road, it might keep her from making serious mistakes such as spreading her legs too soon, or for the wrong guy. or using drugs, or other bad choices she could make. It would almost be worth it to make a trip to Tucson just to stop in and laugh in your face. I won't waste the gas though.
