You WHAT???

Question:

I just wanted to say I love the Alice books so much I would do ANYTHING
to be just like her. She is so cool!! Well, you know how Alice doesn’t
have a mother? Of course you do, you wrote her. Anyway, I think its so
cool to not have a mom just like her. In fact, I JUST KILLED MY MOTHER
TO BE LIKE ALICE. Thank you so much for writing these books and giving
me a role model like Alice. Keep on writing forever!!!! Maybe her dad
could die in the next book? Mine is being really annoying.

Having no mother does not make you problem-free, as you know if you’ve read all the Alice books.  But I’m glad you’re enjoying them.  Please tell me you gave your mom a hug tonight.
