Hi sweetie,
The wind was too strong for you, huh? The window stayed closed a day but there was a high wind yesterday and the window went open again. The other big downer was that I missed the bag of quarters?it was gone from the hutch and I am pretty sure Billy took it but can?t be positive because I didn?t see. Well, I talked to all three of the kids about how hurt I felt and how this was a betrayal of my trust. Billy didn?t quite ?get it? at first. He thought it had to do with me needing the money and when I said it wasn?t that, he said, ?oh because it was a waste of your time?? I think that guess was based on how many months I?d been saving the quarters and I told him NO it?s not that either ? it has to do with a violation of my trust. I didn?t expect one of my own kids to steal from me! I said I wanted the money back ? and magically they turned up on the floor by Kristin?s side of the bed. She found them and was in a panic, afraid I?d blame her. Well, I don?t KNOW what to think.
There is something else though. Remember the porn magazines and books you had in your drawer? They?re gone. All of them. And I kind of think Billy took them, too. I mentioned them to him after school and he gave me a noncommittal look and I said I?d like for them to reappear in the bathroom, where I found the quarters.
He was surprised. ?You found the quarters in the bathroom??
I?d deliberately lied. ?Yes,? I answered and he said he thought they would have been returned to the hutch.
Who knows?
Teddy hasn?t written since Friday. In a way, I am very relieved. I wrote to him on Saturday and haven?t written to find out what?s up.
Love you,
Me
