Dear Groucho:

I'm a little scared of Mom's monster, even though it's not very big and she doesn't use it much. ( ) Don Juan told me that one time he went up to the monster when it was quiet and bopped it on the nose... and it didn't do anything! He doesn't like it because the noise disturbs his sleep, but he says it's nothing to be afraid of. It won't even pick up our hair. Grandmom who lives far away sent Mom a special yellow thing to pick up hair which is very quiet. Plus, Mom has to get down on the floor to use it, and it's much easier to distract her there so she'll pay attention to us.

Love,

Zerlina Gattobello
