Day 255 (111) – Letter of the Law

To follow up the sexy model picture my brother found, he also unearthed a letter that I wrote back in 1999.  I think the letter proves I was quite the funny bugger even when I was a mere 14 years old (and 3 days away from my 15th birthday).  It’s a shame that I wasn’t trying to be funny though…

The image below is to show the authenticity of the letter (you can click it to enlarge it), but I’ve also transcribed it to make it easier to read.

The transcription:

Mom -                                                                           2/8/99

Sorry to greet your night of country line dancing like this, but your middle son decided to spit on me for no reason.  Of course this was after a night of him starting stupid things for no reason.  He was at the top of the steps, and I was trying to go down stairs to get ready for tomorrow morning.  David decided to be “funny” and act like he was going to spit on me.  He spit, and it hit the ground, so I thought it would be safe to walk under him.  Apparently, David wanted to be even “funnier” so he spit again, this time hitting me in the head.  I could have solved it on my own, but then I would get in trouble for spitting on him, so I decided to let you handle it.  But of course, no offense, but I might end up spitting on him just for the sake of justice.  Good night, sorry to bother you.

Love,
Drew Tarvin

I particularly enjoy the “for the sake of justice” line – man I was quite the child wasn’t I?
