We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
My take: Some poor kid keeps forgetting his stuff (for school?) and his mom is tired of bringing it to him.
Help him get over that problem mom! Make a check list.
I, for one, feel sorry for this poor kid. He's obviously been taught Christian values: "I'll ask God to help me stop" and "Please forgive me 70x7" This poor kid. He sounds desperate with those phrases. I hope that his mom forgave him.
Scary mum.
Aw c'mon! 'I can't really help it' -- why not? Pull yourself together, Eric! This is called 'learned helplessness' (or 'wooden leg' -- read your Eric Berne). Course you can help it. Learn to take responsibility for your own stuff. Or stop smokin' dat shit.
I read this and it made me really sad for some reason. A good find though.
What's "70 x 7" mean? And what's that scribble under Eric's name at the bottom? I feel bad for him, too. Sounds like he grew up in a psycho-religious household.
"Then Peter came up to him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? As many as seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you seven times but seventy times seven.”
Poor brainwashed Eric.
I think the scribble is just a scribble.
Now see, my first thought was that that this was some religious zealot Mom too. But then I know some kids like this whose families are religious, but not fanatically and I envision the Mom (pardon the pun) blessing the child out for forgeting something repeatedly as he is getting ready for school. The contrite child is trying really hard to get on Mom's good side and knows that she is a sucker for scripture. So he hastily scribbles a note for her while he gets ready for school. She reads it, tears up and feels horrible for yelling at him and bakes him cookies while he's at school. He comes home she hugs him and apologizes and he snickers to himself for getting away with it... again. :o)
Then again, maybe I just watched too many sitcoms in the 80's.
Oops, sorry for all the typos, I hit send too soon.
So T, 'She reads it, tears up' and then somehow it got stuck together again and sent in in one piece...? :)
Tears as in from your eyes when you cry. And I think the scribble could be a signature. You gotta sign your notes to your mom!
I think it's a kid who keeps leaving his medication at home. Poor guy.
What does that last name say?
It looks like my brother's...
Found in a bush by your house? Did Eric lose this note, too, on TOP of everything else? Where is your God now, Eric?
Note to Shi$%y parents: Please stop telling your kids to pray to God for better organizational skills. God can't help them, but u can. It is jamming up God's airwaves and preventing Him from helping all the africans dying from AIDS!!
Aww. I like Eric.He probably did poorly in school because his mind was preoccupied with things that actually interested him, and has since gone on to do some really cool shit with his life.
poor kid must be scared to death, he is really pushing the God card!!!
This guy is 45, and too old to be wearing a bookpack. God will not forgive him, and neither will his Mom.
