Why I Love My Blocks
Dear Mom and Dad,
I love you very much. I want to tell you a secret.
I do not want to play on your phone. I want to play with my wooden blocks.
Blocks are much more fun than a screen. My blocks can make a big, tall tower.
They can make a long bridge for my cars. The phone is too small for my toys.
The phone screen hurts my eyes. The blocks are warm and smooth in my hands.
If my tower falls, it makes a loud crash! We can laugh and build it up again.
A phone does not make a real crash. A phone is just a flat screen.
Please, can we build a giant castle today? It will be so much fun to do together.
Love, Sam
