Thank you, Aunty Sange!

Dear Aunty Sange,

We wanted to write you a letter to say thank you for the very, very yummy dinner you made for us tonight.

We were really excited when Mummy said you were coming around, because we thought James and Lauren were coming for dinner. Instead, it was just boring old Mum and Dad. And messy Maisie.

Mummy was a bit woolly-headed when you arrived, because she had just taken some of her magic lollies. Daddy won't let us eat Mummy's special white lollies. He puts them way up high so we can't reach them. We reminded Daddy that it's nice to share, but he still wouldn't let us have them.

After you had gone home, Mummy lay down on the couch and closed her eyes. We made sure she was ok by taking it in turns to pat her, peek under her eyelids and whisper in her ears. After a while, Daddy made us get in the bath. He kept muttering things like, "Leave your poor mother alone." She's not poor. We opened her purse and found lots of little silver coins in it. We liked them.

While we were in the bath and Mummy was resting, Daddy put your lovely dinner in the oven and warmed it up. Ernie, Bella, Daisy and Archie all tried to make Daddy give them some. They said it smelled delicious! Daddy put them all outside.

We all sat up at the table together for our tea. Mummy hadn't eaten anything since breakfast time, but she really enjoyed your dinner. Daddy smiled a lot. Jack had two helpings, and asked for a third. Phoebe ate her whole dinner in five minutes flat - a land speed record for her! And Maisie ate the lot, without even keeping some to rub in her hair. She banged her spoon in the empty bowl and wanted more!

Apart from the fact that your shepherd's pie and salad were scrumdidiliumptious, what you did for our mum and dad today was really, really kind. Daddy has been so busy while Mummy has been sick. It was so nice to have them sit with us tonight and eat a relaxed meal. And it was an everyday food too! It takes a special friend to do something like that, and we hope you know how much it was appreciated.

Mummy said to tell you, that if you want to bring Lauren and James over for a play in a week or so, she'll make something yummy for afternoon tea. It won't come close to your gourmet dinner, but the love will be there!!

Thank you, Aunty Sange. We love you!

Lots of love from Jack, Phoebe and Maisie Mouse (and a very, very grateful Mummy and Daddy) xxxxxx
