Dear Jip,

I am away for two days and I have heard you swapped your brand new Bionicle super beast for a little teeny weeny bionicle thingie with your classmate Liam yesterday. You stated that you decided you really only like the real Bionicles and not the Bionicle animals, and Liam wanted to swap, so it's okay. Although I can appreciate that you value friendship more than material goods, I do feel this does not do justice to the 2,5 hrs! I spent putting the creature together on Sunday. The fact that you called me the best mama in the world at the time, only went a little way to compensate the frustation of taking that long to follow instructions meant for 8 year! olds. Anyway, I understand you discussed with your papa the need to get the super beast back, so I do hope to see the ugly thing next to your bed when I return. See you tomorrow. Mama xxx
