This was also written on the back of a cardboard advent calendar, but it’s written in John’s I-just-learned-cursive loopy script along with I-just-learned-this-word spelling and grammar. I think it’s cute just because it’s John pre-internet, and I know that he and it go way back.
Isn’t it funny knowing that someday I’ll be quoting myself or my family from blog posts? I mean, not in the way we do it today with all of this reblogging stuff, but in the way that it’s been 18 years and the blog will soon be pre-something-else, another advent calendar. Speaking of:
