Goodbye, Sorry for My Faults, and Thanks for the Lessons
By Val Muller
Dear Susan,
You admonished me again this morning, and when I asked, “What’s wrong?”, you said “It’s fine.” My time on this sphere has taught me that homosapiens do not say what they mean. My list of faults includes not loading the dishwasher properly, choosing the wrong gift for the day of amorous celebrations, and not reading your mind. Telepathy is not one of my species’ attributes. You said once, “It’s like you’re from a different planet.” Indeed, Susan, you are correct, and it’s time I return. Thank you for the lessons. I will report them to my superiors.
Fred

LOL feels like a fun take on the saying about "Men are from Mars". Loved it.
