Hstish
FOUND by Eric Moore in New England
This is a different kind of found note that isn't the typical stranger found note. My mom recently got into a "cooped in the house New England winter cleaning fit." Cleaning out old college, elementary school, and Hebrew school books that none of us really need anymore she found a note proving what a "jerk" I was/am. What made this funny for us is that none of us can remember the context, making it just as anonymous as a random found note found outside our home. Like a stranger's found note, we had to ask ourselves what the situation was that lead to the note. "Hstish" is our favorite - love it for so many reasons. a: How did she write this if I was holding her hostage? b: Why did she put it in a book? Like a message in a bottle to hopefully one day be discovered by my parents? c: What was I doing to her? Still have no clue what was going on here. The note is over 12 years old.

This makes me laugh every time I see it. Totally cute, the way she spelled hostage, and anyone who's ever been held "hstish" by an older sibling can truly relate!! Obviously Kate wasn't damaged, she's still speaking to Eric!

I love this. The first time I saw it I was in a really bad mood and it made me smile. It reminds me that people are wonderful... which is kind of the opposite of what shes talking about.
