Average Boy Answers Your Questions!
Dear Average Boy,
Have you ever tried sledding? Our driveway should be marked with a skull and crossbones! On an average “sledding trip,” I: 1) Almost crash into a tree; 2) Do crash into a tree; 3) Almost crash into a briar bush; 4) Almost crash into the deepest spot in the ditch; and 5) On the way up the hill, I keep tripping over the sled I’m carrying and slipping back down.
Signed,
Sarah
Dear Sarah,
Wow, sledding in your neighborhood sounds dangerous! Why do your parents have a briar bush and a deep spot in the ditch next to your driveway? This seems strange to me. Maybe you should stop sledding and start being nicer to your parents.
To answer your question: Yes, I have been sledding. Every time I fell when I was skiing, I started sledding! Well, I didn’t actually have a sled, but I was doing the same things you do when you sled: sliding downward and hitting things. Thanks for the e-mail. Now go hug your parents and tell them you love them.
Your Friend and Mine,
Average Boy
