Me to Jarod
Hello Jarod,
Well what a nice email. I can believe all your wonderful achievements. That is amazing. Goodness me, what else are you going to achieve this year? I hope the cabinet's Jarod shelf is big enough to hold all the bling.
(note I did not say "I can't believe...")
I thought Uncle Nathan might like to see what you did so I forwarded your email to him. I hope he shows Jackson.
Josiah will be keen to emulate your achievements. (If you don't know what "emulate" means, ask Kayleigh, but please don't try to emulate her!!!!!!!). So I forwarded the email to Auntie Mon too.
Seven exclamation marks is the best!
Love, Grandad.
Jarod to me
