Dear Sara (age 6 or 7), 007. Quit thinking that any time someone knocks on the front door, it's the Beach Boys! Even though your Dad's spaghetti is the best, they are not coming to Rolla, MO and certainly not to your house! Also, you will not be able to perform with Cindy Woods and Jane Oeffner wearing the red and white striped dresses (which used to be your older sisters') singing Beach Boys songs, dubbing yourselves "The Beach Girls." Sorry to burst your bubble! Go back to playing Barbies instead! -Sara, age 50 |
