Dear Jill,
Laura keeps throwing her trash in my garbage.
Can you please speak to her about this.
Yesterday, I smelled banana the entire afternoon thanks to her gross banana peel.
Thanks,
Ally

PS I have CC’d Laura and have spoken to her several times, yet she continues to bring her trash my way.

In my defense, today’s trash was technically her’s. It was a coffee that she “forgot” she ordered from Barry. I just drank it for her.

Now children. If you don’t behave, I’m going to give you a letter. You must learn to respect each other’s space.

And Laura, all food garbage should go into that great big garbage can you purchased for us that resides in the kitchen. Keep your smelly garbage in there.

Now kiss and make up.

OK Mommy.

I’m sorry, Ally. I won’t use your trash can any more.

Kiss Kiss.
