Out of the mouths of 4th graders

"Dear Mr. V______,
This is B____. I am elerget to milk, and in Mr P's class we're doing some work on gallons, qorts, pints and cups. We're paying 30c for our milk and orange juice. The freaken aconamy is already bad enuf. What about us who are going to be rich and famos ya no?"

"Now, one intelligent person in this very fine classroom of Mr. P (also very good looking), took the time to notice our milk is half a pint. That's ONE CUP! I mean, they try to trick us by saying it's half a pint. But we're on to you V___. There's a storm comin, there's a storm comin. And unless you do something about it, you're goin down."

"I think chocolate milk is old. Let's have at least strawberry milk. And you can get 1 gallon for 2.00 at Smith's."

"If you do not lower the price, there will a perent or two who will call. I mean 30. Nobody can pay!"

"We wold like to get milk back. Everybody loves it. Because it is a very good milk and plus it halps are musols and the milk is so dlishis."

"This is going to get nasty if you don't lower the milk prices. I mean 30 cents come on how do you expect us to pay 30 cents for a cup cup I mean a cup of milk. Don't lie we are on you like a parona on a bird."

"You are mucking us pay $500000 for milk. The end. You have 5 minutes."
