Your Assignment # 49, December 2004
Ho, Ho, Ho!
For the forty-ninth Your Assignment for Kids contest, we
asked you to create a holiday wish list for your favorite book
character.
The Winner
Dear Mother and Father,
Here's my wish list for the long century ahead of me:
1. Down comforter—two words: 100 winters.
2. Listerine—if a prince WILL kiss me after a century, might as
well make a good first impression, eh?
3. Plush pillow—to rest my golden locks on. Simple as that.
4. Spinning lessons—if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
5. Thimble—for most obvious reasons.
Yours truly,
Sleeping Beauty

Honorable Mentions
Dear Santa,
About our Christmas wish list, we need these items for
our latest investigation. Our client is only 8 years old
and insists on complete secrecy. Here's our list:
• night-vision binoculars
• motion detector
• reindeer footprint I.D. kit
• cookie-crumb detector.
We've been extra good this year, so please stop at our
house first on Christmas Eve.
Sincerely,
Frank and Joe Hardy

Dear Mrs. Claus,
Hi it's Rapunzel. Please tell Mr. Claus I need a new
hairbrush to tame my long, curly, golden locks. I broke
the last one. I need the Princess Style-Bot 3000. Not
the one that makes knots. Oh, I also need Bed Head hair
spray and pink princess shimmery lipstick.
Merry Christmas,
Rapunzel

What Zigzag Wants
Dear Mom and Dad,
This is what I want for Hanukah:
1. I want some new clothes. All I wear is orange, dirty,
disgusting jumpsuits.
2. I want a new bed. All I lay on is a low, small, thin
cot.
3. I want an air conditioner. Every day I dig holes in
the hot, burning sand.
4. I want some shoes. All I wear is old rotten sandy
sneakers.
Your son,
Zigzag (From Holes)

Dear Santa,
I, Cinderella, would like glass cleaner from you for
Christmas this year. When Prince Charming came to pick
me up for the ball, we had to walk quite a distance to
the big pumpkin. While wearing my glass shoes, I
accidentally scuffed them, leaving a gruesome mark. If
you come down my chimney and place the glass cleaner
under my tree, you'll make me the happiest princess in
the world.
Love,
Cinderella
