I was 12 and eating all the time. My mom thought I had the munchies. It was a growth spurt. And the bracelet thing parents thought was a dangerous pandemic, actually only happened at one school, with a small group of kids. And the "How to spot a tagger" post a couple days ago... besides that small rant, HILARIOUS. I love it when adults think kids are on drugs because they (the adults) don't understand something.

Isn't there such a thing as privacy awareness in the US? What really upsets me about this case is that the lady is shamelessly snooping on her godson's correspondence.

The camel toad example seems authentic, although, I myself have sent in fake stories to advice columns...so it could be fake... None of mine ever got published btw. That last comment was gold.

I'm not sure how you think that kids don't drink tea. Why he would be writing it would be the question I would ask. While it's not impossible for them to be actually sending letters, it's more strange that he didn't just email, call, or text page.

It's just a little too perfect for the letter writer not to be in on the gag. It may have been that she didn't know what a "camel toe" was, found out, thought it was funny, and then decided to write in anyway. The spilled iced tea detail gives it away. A liar often provides a little too much detail. Why would a kid be drinking iced tea anyway? And how would she know exactly what had been spilled? It's not as funny if you don't believe the letter writer is really seeking an explanation, but like the Snopes entry says, it's just a little too perfect.
