And I have a lot of toys. And dresses. And, daddy has a big wrench.
How are you? You're good? Great! And, um, I wanted to tell you shuplasch, schoot, scoop she gosh (etc.) Oh! I know what I should tell. You have a lot of shupp gashy gash.

I should explain some of Maiya's letter:
Lately she's into sounding out words, because she wants to know how to sound out letters so she can write the words. The other day she wrote UToB, for YouTube, Yes, that's our internet girl. She was looking at a tiny little wrench sitting on the desk when she refers to Tony having a big wrench. When she was doing the shupp gashy gash stuff, it went on for a long time. I could only type so fast. I look at it as her own kind of yiddish. The sticker on her nose is referring to a photo where she is sitting on the toilet on election day with an "I voted" sticker on her nose (Obama was not on the sticker). The catch me if you can is referring to a drawing that was on the desk that tony did of him chasing her on his bike, and that's her quote in the photo. she also told me his quote, but as i said, i can only type so fast. Also, when she was dictating the letter, she was on my lap, but my foot fell asleep so i told her to get off. she went over to sit on tony's back on the bed and told him that she liked him, but that she liked me best. good thing he doesn't get bothered by those kinds of statements. The last line, "I hope you feel happy and glad for me" was an after thought. I asked her if she wanted me to make it the P.S., but I don't think she understood, so she didn't answer. Anyways, if it sounds stream of consciousness and nonstop, it's because it was.
