Dear Jesus,

All I want is a Nintendo DS.  I could do anything if I had a DS.  I’m not telling anyone, just you.  Can you get me one?  It’s my birthday soon – you could get it for that – that’d be a good present!

Thank you, Jesus.

Love,  Shyam

Dear Jesus,

Have you seen a Nintendo DS in Heaven?  Is there one free? I could have it. My Birthday is soon. 

Thank you, Jesus.

Love Shyam

Dear Jesus,

Did you get Evan his DS?  It’s a nice one.  He let me see it but not touch it – in case I get a finger mark on it….but I wouldn’t.  He can play really good games – he was racing with Mario – I bet I could win if I had a DS.  Did you look in Heaven?  Evan was 6 last week – do you have to be 6 to get one?  I’m nearly 6.  A black one would be cool.  I’d be so good – Amma and Appa would be happy if I had one because I’d be soooo good. Rishika mightn’t though – she could share mine sometimes.  Have you two in Heaven?

Thank you, Jesus.

Love Shyam

Dear Jesus

Will you tell Amma and Appa that a book is not as good as a DS?  I like books – I really like Horrid Henry – but he’s not as fast as Mario – Mario doesn’t pick his nose though – they’re both good – but a DS is better for a 6 year old and I’ll be 6 in 2 sleeps – just 2!  I’m getting a football man cake…..or a Bart cake – with candles  – and a badge – and a party – just for me. Thank you for making my birthday, Jesus.  You could come if you’d like and you could bring a spare DS from Heaven – it could be any colour – but not pink – that’s a girl’s colour – Rishika likes pink.  If the only spare DS in Heaven is a pink one then don’t bring it – I’ll wait til you find a black one – or another one – just not pink.  If you have two – bring the pink one as well, Rishika can have that but if the only one you have is pink, then don’t.  Rishika wouldn’t know how to play it and she would feel odd.
