Jununbabam, you may be wondering why I would write you a letter knowing so well I won't be able to mail it to you.

It's been two months since the roads closed off due to snow.
Or at least, that's what Mum says.
A lot has happened since then.
Sla has been wondering if you had a chance to buy her hula hoop.

She even started to tell Hovind that you love him more than us because you'll buy her and only her the hula hoop.
She loves to mess with Hovind the most because, as Sla says, you love Hovind more than us.

Craving sour means it's a girl, and sweet means it's a boy, even though Zainab auntie said it's scientifically not supported.
