Maryn,
Today we went to get donuts for your birthday like we have done for the last three years. As usual, as you have done since you were three you ordered your own donuts. The employee was very impressed with your politeness and ability to order. He said he has 13 year olds who do not know how to order for themselves.
Both of you girls have been ordering your food since you could talk. We forced you to do this to learn to be responsible for yourself and to learn to speak to others. You both do a great job and I hope this has a lasting effect on you.
