From the "mother may I" section:
Dear Mother,
For many years I?ve slept in my comfortable pajamas--they zip from head to toe and are made of the softest red flannel. They were lovingly made for me on my nineteenth birthday by my dearly departed grandmother. Unfortunately, I?ve been suffering from some nightmare-induced cold sweats which have disintegrated the delicate fabric. I know my mother (wife) loves snuggling up to me when I?m wearing these P.J.s. I have to say I?ll miss our nights of hot chocolate and bible verse recitations in bed. Mother may I...buy a new pair of pajamas?
Sincerely,
M.P. in D.C.
