Written or Seen this kind of Letter before?



I remember those days when I used to see some heads clustered at one of the desks at the back of the classroom… (sure the girls did theirs at home or somewhere outside the classroom)
(Don’t mind the ENGLISH…)

“ Dear …,
I am written you this letter bcos I canot sleep again since I set my wondring hansom eyes on you. Truth… I swear, I canot lie. I canot sleep yesterday’s night. Even thogh I canot eat. My father ask me what happen. My mother ask me why you cant eat? I lie. I said, I have headache. I know I was sicking of LOVE but I canot tell anybody. Who can help me now? When I came to school this morning, when I saw you, my heartbreak. Sorry. Because I am afraid so that I will not have heartattack, infact I canot understand how am feeling again. I told my frends and they advice me to right this letter to you. So now we are writing it together. I love you … You are very fine girl. You are the only cockroach in my cupboard. You are the only sugar in my tea. You are the only cloth in my hanger. I like your shape. You are my friend I don’t see I dont sleep. (ore kori kosun lo so yen o! lolz) As I was telling you before this my friend shake my hand because of I am having headache now because of you. Please help me I want us to be loving ourself. Please, like me and let me like you too. Infact, I like you very much now. Let us be boyfriend and girlfriend. I dont want people to know so I will send my friend to give you this letter. Please, fine girl read it very well and understand. Don’t forget anything inside. And let us meet at the mango tree at the back of the school after assembly ground. Please put me in your mind and love me. Thank you … Before I drop my golden pen, I say that I love you, fine girl. Please, kiss me when you come and meet me. I will wait for you. Thank you that you read my letter. I believe you enjoyed my letter very well. Here I drop my golden pen which my pastor gave me from Jerusalem. And I rest my case.            Yours sincerly …”

(Lolzzzz!)
I think they call this “LOVE LETTER”. Isn’t it? You must have written something like this before too! (winks) May be with “Brighter” grammar. Lolz! Did it work for you? Don’t even try to lie, else you’ll develop a LONG NOSE! Lolz!
… joy to your hearts!  - ‘Nido

"... so he started crying and screaming, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! ..."

On a Thursday morning, about a month ago, I witnessed a scene at a very busy bus terminal, which I’d like to share with you here. It was a crowd surrounding a woman whose hands were cuffed so out of curiosity I was compelled to ask questions. She had been caught with a child she had successfully kidnapped from a holiday school, usually called “lesson” (the child, about 4years old was wearing a mufti). But as God would have it, while she was sneaking away, the boy suddenly saw a woman she recognized, probably his mother so he started crying and screaming “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!” In a nutshell, that was how the kidnapper was caught. I’m sure she’s somewhere now paying her debt… Thank God the baby could talk, else, you know the possible results. About 3 weeks later again, I heard a little boy was missing in another school, after closing hours… Are “THEY” at it again?
I think teachers need to be more vigilant, parents, neighbours too… everybody.  PLEASE, TELL SOMEBODY TO TELL ANOTHER. Thanks. - ‘Nido
