Suzanne over at Mother in Chief has sent me on a stroll down memory lane. While poking around her mom's attic, she recently came across a box of love notes from her junior high and high school days. Go check out the post -- she includes the exact text in all its typo-filled glory. It's wonderful and hysterical.

But back to parents and love letters.

Did your mom ever find a love letter a school sweetie gave you? Mine did and even though it was the most innocent note ever, I was mortified. I was probably in seventh or eighth grade and the letter just said something like, "Will you go with me?" along with the requisite hearts.

Suzanne's post talks about how her old letters were perfectly folded for a quick slip into her school locker, a detail that I just loved (I wonder if kid's even write love letters these days or is it all about texting).

Have you found love letters your kid has received? Did you read them?
