Yeah, I've always had a weakness for ol' Cal.

During his Calvin and Hobbes phase, DS took to writing notes to me and DW saying "Dear (Mom/Dad): I hate you, drop dead!" Of course this is verbatim from a valentine that Calvin gives Susie, and we took it in the same spirit. Needless to say, however, we tend to select these notes out of the portfolio we present during school interviews.

Unfortunately, this mode of self expression was not well-received by his age-level playmates, and so, ultimately, we were compelled to keep these books away from him.
