Dear Mom,

(This is most specifically for my mom, but if you happen to also be a mother and were slightly upset by the fact that I fell asleep in a public park… by myself… in the city… at dusk… read on)  (if you did not know that I fell asleep asleep in said location, you should probably click HERE)

I promise I did not mean to fall asleep in the park by myself in the city at dusk. I realize that it put me in danger and… believe me… I am as relieved as you are that I was not attacked (a near-duck-attack does not count), snatched, robbed or abducted. It was 100% accident and I promise not to do it again.

I also think you should know that I have not eaten any Green Apple Pops without supervision recently.

Love always, Paula.

p.s. I attached a picture of a baby eating chocolate cake. I figured this would make you smile and not so worried about me.
