Dear Daddy,

I know you guys want me to be responsible, and I think taking care of a baby red panda would help me to be responsible. Being responsible means taking care of things well, and I promise I will take care of it well.  I will feed it, bath it, clean up after it, and take it outside when it needs to go potty. It won’t be any extra work for you.  Taking care of a baby red panda will help me appreciate what you do for me.  I’ll use all of my own money to help buy it.  It would be a lot of fun buying a baby red panda, don’t you think so? It would make me feel happier than having the biggest Lego set in the world.  May I please have a baby red panda?

Your Hopeful and Thankful Son,
Nathan
