Dear Laura,
Are you my mother?
- Bart the Bird
Dear Bart the Bird,
It is with mixed feelings that I reach out to you, Bart, my dear long lost son! Even in the joy of our reuniting, I must begin by bringing you sad news of your birth father, a Bird Norn. He had an argument with a Jumbo Jet COB and lost. When I was much younger, we had a whirlwind romance, (spurred, no doubt, by the fact I lived near a Starseed Tree). I want you to know that I loved your father very, very much and that I am very sad that I couldn't be there for you as you've grown up. It was shortly after I had laid the egg that would later become you, that I ill-advisedly got into a mover which took me away from you... and then I found some cheese to flib. Somehow, minutes passed, and by the time I thought to return, you were long gone. Not even any shards of eggshell remained to mark the place where my egg, my baby had been. You have always been in my thoughts, but with some trepidation. I often wondered about how much you are like your father, who I still miss very much. Despite this, he is still gone forever, and I must not lose this chance to have a relationship with my son because I still love his father.
