we both got a good laugh out of this!

AN IRISH MOTHER WRITING TO HER SON IN ENGLAND

Dear Son,

This is your dear old mother writing to you. I have a lot of interesting news since you left. It's wet but it isn't as wet as when it was real wet. I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast.
Excuse the writing� I had an accident - burnt my fingers in boiling water - my own fault - should have felt the water before I put my finger in it. I'm feeling better since you went away. Went to see my doctor and got a wonderful medicine for my deafness. I took a dose on Friday night. It was so good I heard from your Uncle Hughie in Australia on Saturday morning. I feel 25 years younger and your father is delighted. Your brother Ernie came in crying from school this evening because all his pals got new clothes. We can't afford to buy him a new outfit se we are going to buy him anew hat and let him look out the window.

We had a row with the electric light company. It ended in a draw. We got no light, and they got no money. It is very dark but not as dark as when it was real dark. We are hard up son. Send us a few quid - it will only cost you seven pence.

Your father met the landlord at the dogs the other night. He asked last for last week's rent. Your father said to forget last week's rent and to worry about this week's. It was running in the third race.

Our neighbours the Browns started to keep pigs. We only got the wind of it this morning.. Friday night was wet. We went to bed early. Mrs Hawking got her appendix out and a new kitchen sink in. The cat had kittens in your father's hat. I put them in a box because they grew up round-shouldered. The undertaker called and said that if the last instalment isn't paid on your mother-in-law, up she'll come. Your father has worms and has gone fishing.

We heard that Annie passed away, your old Granny died and Fanny married a butcher, so now you have no Annie, no Granny and no Fanny.

Your father has a good job, his first in 10 years. We are a great deal better off than we were. Your father gets 10 pounds every Thursday night so we thought we could do a bit of fixing up. We bought one of these new fangled things they call bathrooms. You hear tell of them in some houses. It is put in by a man they call a plumber. On one side of the room is a long thing that you used to feed the pigs in before you went away. We jump into that and wash all over. Just near that is a small one, they call it a sink. That is for light washing such as face and hands. Ah! but over in the corner is the nicest contraption of all. You put one foot in and wash it clean then pull a little chain and get fresh water for the other foot. Two covers came with it and hadn't any use for them in the bathroom so I am using one of them as a breadboard and the other one has a round hole in it. We framed your grandfather's picture in it. They are awfully nice people to deal with. They sent us a big roll of writing paper with it; this is what I am using now son, to write to you.

Take care of yourself,
Your dear old Mam.
