Dear Grandma, (I am writing this for my English assignment, but also because I want to.) Thank you for teaching me to sew. I complained the whole time, and I am sorry. Yesterday a button came off my jacket at school, and I sewed it back on in the library while everyone watched. A girl asked me to teach her. I think that is the first time anyone asked me to teach them something. Love, Ezra.
Dear Ezra, Your letter arrived on a rainy day, which made it even better. You complained, yes — like a cat in a bathtub — but you never quit, and that is the part I remember. My own grandmother taught me with a needle bent from years of use. I still have it. When you visit, it is yours. Teach the girl well. Love, Grandma.
