Write to Memaw
Sign yourself the way the parish does — "Nervous Past the Landing," "Fed Up on Bayou Chevreuil." No real names needed. Memaw knows who you are anyway.
Letters may be edited for length, spelling, and things Memaw says you should not have put in writing.
Your letter is in the mailbag. Memaw has, of course, already read it. Watch the column, cher.
NOTICE FROM THE EDITOR: Memaw has already typeset her answer for next week's letter. It says, in full, "No, and don't you dare." Please write in so we know what it is answering.
~ Memaw reads every letter, including the ones you decided not to send. ~
