Let’s get some things straight here. I decided to let you foster me, it’s not the other way around. Just tellin’ you like it is. Consider me the senior member of this household and show me some respect.
My home. My rules.
1. I wish to continue to be dressed in the fashion of a respectable statesman, visiting sights with natural beauty and walked with proper deference (you behind me).
2. This bedding question you keep discussing requires your realization that I am the one dictating when to warm the sheets for me. You only have a few jobs and I wish to stress that it is imperative that this be done properly. Don’t make me have to stir the sheets.
3. Lastly: listen and believe you me…I am not just saying this because I am your grand-father figure. You are the nicest, the prettiest and the smartest woman in this state. If you don’t believe me, just go look in the mirror. Don’t you ever forget that you are related to me and that means you come from royalty. Anyone that needs to be reminded of this can answer to me.
With all this said, please know, my dear one, that you are my number one most special two-legged. (Just don’t tell your sister.)
Love,
Hennessi
