Are Sisters a Good Idea?

Yesterday’s corner time: 3 Minutes.

Yesterday, I received an email from my new friend, Salvador. He lives in Peru, which I think is somewhere nearby. He was asking for some advice on sisters.

Hola Matthew,

My Dad has told me how good your Blog is, so I thought I’d have a look myself.

I think we could make quite a team.

I too am a victim of Gina ‘Hugo Chavez’ Ford but luckily Mum & Dad left the evil book in England, so I think I’m in the clear for now.

Life is fun here, lots of dressing up and going toilet in the street - not me of course, that’s just the locals. In fact ‘Life in the Corner’ can be quite smelly if the corner in question is on the street.

Tell your Dad your Hamster was lucky to have such a dignified finale, here the Guinea Pigs get fried then popped on a plate with some boiled potatoes - not nice.

I’m actually after a bit of advice, my Mum says a little sister would be nice for me whereas my Dad says that I’m ‘enough’. From your blog, it sounds like you’re an ‘enough’ chap too - please confirm.

Anyway, I’d better go - Mengo and Papayo to shout at.

Saludos,

Salvador.

Hi Salvador,

If you want to try having a sister, you can have mine.

This morning, I tagged Becca with your address and covered her with 1st class stamps but unfortunately, I was apprehended on the way to the post box.

My Dad lectured me about abusing my sister and also about the mail timetable, because apparently, there's no post on a Sunday. He also debated whether 20 x 1st class stamps would be enough to get Becca to Peru. She's a big girl.

My parents seem very fond of Becca, which I find hard to believe. They hope that when she's older, that we'll play together so that they can put their feet up or perhaps, leave the country.

I'd recommend that you run your parents ragged - that should help dispel any notions of a sibling.

Also, if you see a stork - shoot it.

Matthew.

P.S. Have you met Paddington Bear - I believe that he’s from your neck of the woods?
