милая бабушка'.
пишу тебе потому, что не могу больше так жить.
Все только и стараются сделать мою жизнь невыносимой. Я ничего не могу держать в секрете потому, что мой брат Андрей (а ты всегда защищаешь его!) вечно подслушивает мои телефонные разговоры, машка, твоя любимая внучка, постоянно читает мои письма, кроме того, мама все время ворчит, что я не слежу за порядком в моей комнате. А когда я о чем-нибудь прошу папу, то в ответ всегда слышу: "Отстань*” А хуже всего то, что наша учительница английского языка задала домой написать письмо, используя слово "keep" десять раз. я целых два часа старался сделать это, но так и не смог.
С любовью, твой внук вася
