Dear Mama,
I'm so sorry. I bought myself a rather expensive rubber shoes. But they are on sale, Mama... 50% off! I hope I am not being selfish, Mama. It's the first time I bought myself a 'real' rubber shoes. You know I always buy myself those cheap unheard brands of shoes, which I have to repair every 3 months or so. Besides, Ralph, Edgar and I almost have the same shoe size, so it's not really just for me. They can wear it too, Mama. So, it's not really that to much of self-indulgence. I promise to buy them 'real' shoes too next time, Mama. I'm really sorry.
Take care of yourself, Mama. I miss you.
I love you.
Daddy
