Last Minute Very Important Letter to Santa

by Roscoe the Bratty Kid, Guest Blogger.

  Dear Santa,

  Hi Santa, how are you?  I hope you are doing good. 
I'm writing this because some people said I was bad but the truth was I wasn't being bad!!!
Remember when I got busted for setting the beanbag monkey on fire?  It wasn't on purpose.  I put him on the stove but I forgot about him being on the stove and then I played with the knobs and that's how he got on fire but it was a 100% accident.  Also my mom said a bad word when she caught me so maybe you could put her on the Naughty List.
Then at school I just happened to be sitting on the bench and there just happened to be an old pencil I found so I drew a robot on the wall but I thought it was okay because you can erase pencil.  The teacher didn't think it was okay.  So if she told you I was bad, then she told you a lie!  Maybe she should be on the Naughty List too.
That was the same day I got in trouble for shoving Rex, but I only shoved him because he kept going "Rosco bo-bosco bananna fana fo-fosco- me-mi-mo mosco! Roscoe" all day and he wouldn't stop. 
Also yesterday I got in trouble for singing "Baby, baby, soak your head in the gravy" to Rex.    I was just trying to be funny but he got mad and told on me.  That's why I got timed out.
I think Rex belongs on the Naughty List too.
So now you know the truth..  Also I did some good things this week.  I ate my broccoli and chewed with my mouth closed and I took my vitamins instead of hiding them in my old shoes.   So please put me on your good list.
Your biggest fan,
Roscoe.

p.s. Never mind about putting Rex on the Naughty List because he gets a bunch of candy for Christmas and his mom makes him share when I come over.

I love the way you draw Roscoe's mouth (bill).

Thanks, Linda. When I was in my teens I found cartoon duckbills tough to draw. I remember copying the beak of a Donald Ducklike character in a book I had, until I "mastered" it.

Thanks Pile Girl.
