Aw. :( Poor kid. Laura Bush is class through and through to do this.
great story and a great post....thanks
What a sweet story! (Other families with kids probably can't afford to live in Castro Valley ...)
Good for Mrs. Bush. A person who learns to love books doesn't ever have to suffer from loneliness.
TaRAYzaaa would have told her to go naked for a while. Lauara Bush is just soooo classy.
That little girl will never forget the thoughtfulness of our First Lady.
This touching story moved me to tears. Thanks for posting it!
The Bushes are like that. Great for Pari!
Any stories like this from Hillary?
I imagine reading something like this:
"...Jeanette was torn between having a baby and giving it up for adoption but the 16 yr old was confused. Her parmiscuos lifestyle interupted her life as a teen.
She wrote First Lady Hillary Clinton and was suprised to find a few weeks later a reply to her letter in a manilla envelope. The message said, 'Abort it. Nothing empowers a woman more when they have the legal right to kill children they create out of sexual intrigue. You go girl. Watch Oprah.'"
That's class. What a heart-warming story from my home town!
Great Post! Do you have access to the list of books that Mrs. Bush recommended?
You go! Laura!
What would the Kerry White House have sent back? An explanation of how Pari should be more tolerant of her family's size because "families come in all sizes, shapes, colors, gender-makeups, and varieties" and how she should be proud of their efforts to have a small family so as not to "contribute to pollution and wildlife encroachment caused by humans." They would have gone on to tell her that she should overcome her lonliness by adopting a whale and joining the Peace Corps.
