DEAR AUNT PATTY:
I have nothing to do but write you.
Nothing to say but to say it. So I
decided to take a piece of chalk,
some ink, and type you this letter in
pencil.
I do not live where I used to
because I moved to where I live
now. If you come to visit me just
ask anyone where I live because
nobody knows. I am so sorry we are
so far together. My Aunt Mary died
last week and is doing fine. I hope
you feel the same. My cousin, Dot,
has the mumps and is having a
swell time. She is at death’s door
and the doctor is trying to pull her
through. Dad was feeling a little
tipsy today when he came in last
night. While doing the split on a
banana peel he slipped and killed
himself. He left a pair of suspenders
to support the family. Joan got her
tongue twisted on a noodle last night
and died last week.
I am sending you a coat in the
mail. I took the buttons off to make
it lighter and put them in the
pockets.
I'd send you the ten dollars I owe
you but I forgot about it until after I
sealed this letter. When you answer
my letter write slowly because I
can’t read fast.
IM Crazy
P.S. If you got this letter let me

DEAR CRAZY:
I’m crazy 2. But, r u 4 real?
DEAR AUNT PATTY:
I have been friends with a partic-
ular person for over two years.
About five months ago, her mother
suddenly died. I telephoned her to
tell her I was sorry. 1 also sent her
a card, made several dishes of food
for the family, and my husband was
a pall bearer. I also took off work to
attend the funeral.
Unfortunately, my dear father
died recently. This “friend” did not
call, send a card, or anything. I am
really hurt. Do you think I should
feel justified dropping her as a
“friend”’?
HURTING
DEAR HURTING:
Unfortunately, some people just
do not know how to express sympa-
thy to others. If you feel your
friendship is not worth continuing
because you feel used, then put her
on your list of casual friends and
remove her from your special list.
Sometimes it takes a personal trag-
edy to find out just who our true
friends are.

VEGETABLE LOVER
DEAR V .L.:
I hope to hear from some of our
readers with a recipe for you. Can
anyone help our vegetable lover?
DEAR AUNT PATTY:
I went to an amusement park
recently with my son and his base-
ball team. One of the fathers
attended with his son, but said his
wife could not come because of ‘a
toothache. At the park this father
became friendly with another kid’s
aunt. Actually they seemed very
friendly, if you know what I mean! I
was wondering if you think I should
mention the teasing, hugs and love
pats to the absent mother. I feel
guilty knowing what I do and not
mentioning it to her. What should I
do?
SEEING IS BELIEVING
DEAR SEEING:
Keep your mouth shut and don’t
mention a word about any of it to
anyone. It sounds like that mother
has enough to worry about without
others adding fuel to the fire.
