Child's Letter
Dear Mom and Dad:
I hope that you won't get mad at me for writing this letter, but you always told me never to keep anything back that ought to be brought out into the open. So here goes.
Remember the other day when my team was playing and both of you were sitting and watching? Well, I hope that you won't get mad at me, but you kind of embarrassed me. Remember when I went after the fly ball near the outfield fence and tripped and fell? I could hear you yelling at me for being so clumsy. I sure was embarrassed - a little because I tripped, but a lot because you were yelling.
Then do you remember yelling at me the next inning when I was up to bat? The coach gave me the bunt signal so Terry could steal, but all you did was yell about why I was bunting instead of hitting. At least Terry got to second safely.
You shouldn't have jumped all over the coach for pulling me off the field. He is a good coach, and a good person, and he knows what he's doing. Besides he is just a volunteer giving up his time to help us be better. I can tell he loves baseball.
And then neither of you spoke to me the whole way home. I guess you were pretty mad at me for not catching that fly ball. I tried, but I guess I'm not much of an outfielder. I do love baseball. It's lots of fun being with my friends and learning how to compete. It is a great sport, but how can I learn if you don't show me a good example? And anyhow, I thought I was playing baseball for fun, to have a good time, and to learn good sportsmanship. I didn't know that you were going to get so upset because I wasn't the star.

Your son/daughter,

Chris
