How to Make Someone's Day

  WARNING: THIS POST IS VERY LONG. PLEASE READ IT ANYWAY...
  As you all know, e-mailing, texting, and calling has completely blocked out communication by mail. I mean, if you wanna let someone know something really important, you're gonna call them. If you just wanna say hi, your gonna text them right away. I'm not sure what the appropriate occasion to e-mail is... maybe to let them know you're having a birthday party and it didn't feel right texting all your friends' moms or something like that. Whichever way you choose, you're not using post mail. SO, here's something you want to do to make someone's day.

!. choose a friend or family member you want to send a card to. Maybe just someone who needs some cheering up, or just a friend you think will laugh when they see this.

@. start off with a blank card of your choice, and get ready with pens and pencils and coloring thingamabobbers and all that jazz.

#. open the card whatever way, horizontal or diagonal, and take a loose piece of paper, and just glue or tape the top to the top of the right page.

$. now you're ready to begin. Write a short paragraph that pretty-much says, "Dear Bob, I'm writing to you from Your Name enterprises and the connection wasn't very good so I've decided to mail you a letter instead of, (what's it called?) Oh, yes, texting you..."
Be creative. Your goal is to make this person laugh, but don't stress over this one paragraph, it's just the opening.


%. once you've finished, go to the next page and at the top write something like, "This next page contains highly classified information, so if you can guess this password, you're free to look."
Then you can write a hint if you want, or you can leave some letters there like, "B_NA_AS"----(BANANAS) and try to make it obvious like an inside joke or just something they would know.

^. Now this next page is totally yours. Write about your last adventure to Jupiter. Write about how a giant slug tried to eat you when you were stranded on an island alone for days. Or, if you really want to, write a totally formal letter, but throw in something totally random at the end, just to get a smile. (:

&.  now don't forget to end with Sincerely, or with love.....I'm just kidding, you can end this with, "Well, the president's here, better get the door, Goodbye." for all i care. make sure the reader realizes this is from your head not some blog you found....... but that doesn't matter! Because this is about Bob and you, not me.

*. alright, you're ready to send. You've CHECKED YOUR SPELLING, and all the important things like, CHECKING YOUR SPELLING, are taken care of, right?
Right. Now after you've put this in an envelope, written the address of the person you've sending it to, written your return address, put a postage stamp on, and put it in the mail box, (no, not your mail box) those big blue mail boxes...? Ring a bell? Right, yes, and you've already sent it,
REPEAT AFTER ME: I WILL NOT,
____________________________
CALL WHOEVER I SENT A LETTER TO,
_______________________________
AND SAY, 
________
"DID YOU GET MY LETTER?!?"
__________________________
BECAUSE THAT,
_____________
WOULD PROBABLY,
_______________
NOT BE,
_______
VERY,
_____
SMART.
______

Good. Just making sure we're clear.

Well, that's all I've got for you today. Make sure you leave a comment and let me know how all this went!

Thanks for reading! Bye!
