Fabulous Five

Tweet

Daddy burnt his leg a week or so ago.

So this is me showing my empathy for him and wearing a bandage in his honor. As you can see, I'm blue-blooded.

Actually, it has nothing to do with empathy. I'm just upset because he won't let me put my Barney DVD into his computer. I don't get it. It's not like he's doing anything exciting on it.

So I am writing a letter to Barney in hopes that Barney will intervene on my behalf.

Problem: I only got three pennies to pay for postage, which means the letter's not gonna get far. (My allowance sucks. Maybe Barney will help with that, too.) Please help! It's imperative that I get this letter to Barney!
