Last week I mist the bus. My Father wrote (on the computer) this late note:
שאלתיאל ציון התקשה לקום הבוקר ועל כן הוא החמיץ את ההסעה ואיחר לבית הספר and printed it out on a paper. When we were getting into the car we saw a friend of ours. They asked if we need a ride to school and we said "yes". My father gave us (me and my big brother) our late notes and let us leave to school. We got to the school and left the car and went to class. When we got to class the teacher asked me: " why was I late?"
I did not answer but I gave him my late note. He read it and said: "in the future I will want the late note to be written by hand". I said ok. And I think I know why, because if the note is printed it could be writtin by the kid and not the parrent.

Dear Shaltiel,
I just read and enjoyed your last three posts. Here are some comments: 1. It is so beautiful to see two brothers learning together. The two of you are so smart and creative that it must be an especially successful chavrutah!
2. Helping your classmate create an e-mail account is both impressive and a real mitzvah! 3. You are correct about why the teacher wanted the notes written by hand. But he should recognize Abba's elegant style anyway!
Love,
Zayde
From your stories,we have decided that you have the starting skills of a linguist (someone who knows several languages) and a computer scientist, and certainly a writer, etc. etc. Now from this story, we see that you have a lot of common sense and that is valuable whatever your profession.
Why? Because of your last sentence -- figuring out why it is important to write a "late note" by hand. Another suggestion would be to put the parent's signature at the end of the printed note, making it official.
The only reason that your teacher said that, was because there must have been a few students that have already fooled him. Once he gets to know you and Y.A., he will not have any doubts about your character. On the other hand, I am sure that he would prefer everyone in the class to follow his rules.
Your title for this story was a great one because it was almost a mystery. We thought it concerned a note that arrived too late. And the question was why?
More love,
Grandpa and Grandma
I put it in the tittle box because it seemed like a good tittle.

Dear Shaltiel,
Four of the best words in this blog are,"I did not answer..." We felt that we were standing right next to you in the classroom with that detail!
You have an excellent memory! How did you remember every word of the late note?
You also translate Hebrew into English well! How did you know how to say the teacher's reply in English?
Love,
Bubbe
Dear Shaltiel, Hi. I just read some of your last posts. That story about getting Chen Shmuel out of the bedroom was a really good one. You are really a hero. I also think you're right about the teacher wanting the note handwritten. though you could probably write one just as well. Good luck with the chevruta. It sounds neat. Love, Savta
1] I did not Remember the late note, my father just sent me it.
2] I just know how to say Hebrew in englesh (not so mach).
Dear Shaltiel, I just finished reading your last few posts. I am very impressed with your natural curiosity, creativity, intelligence, but most important your respect for your teachers and your kindness towards your friends. I wish you a great new year and I am anxious to see how your year progresses, and I will continute to read your blog whenever I get a chance.
