A Letter to the Editor

Dear Dad,

I would like to get a cell phone.  I do not care what kind it is at all.  I am going into 6th grade next year.  Although I will NOT be going downtown and to the mall with just my friends, I might be going to a lot of friends houses.  Well, actually, I probably will be.  Plus I will be needing rides home from the Sports Center after dance and school and who knows if I may be joining any new activities.  I really think I am a very responsible person.  I am not asking for texting right now and don’t need to have it for a while after I get it if you guys think that is too much.  You can have my phone at night for awhile after I get one.  I don’t think that it is fair that just because #4 got one in 7th grade that I should have to too.  I really do think that I am responsible.  I won’t do stupid things with my phone and think that I am grown up and mature enough to have a phone next year.  Thank you for the time you have taken to listen to this speech.  I hope this gives you lots of inspiration when you choose to make your decision.  Please take your time.
