Dear Mom,

I am positive, Mom, that I should get a cell phone with a full keyboard. You know that I am very responsible and I won't loose it or break it. Of course I do really good in school. Plus I won't even let it get taken away in school; I won't even have it in class.I really positively absolutely want a cell phone!!!!!!

I know you think that I am too young for a cell phone, however, as you can see I am now in middle school and independent enough to have one, you can always depend and trust me. I understand that you are wondering who I would need to call and why, well when K'Lei, my annoying sister, goes to high school next year you know I will still be at Goddard then, who is going to pick me up? I also know that I can use the house phone anytime I want and I agree I rarely use the house phone, but as I am aging I will be at different places at different times and if there is an emergency then I could whip out my cell phone like that and call to get help, oh wait a second that's right I don't have a cell phone. I want one as bad as a wave can't resist to crash on a warm sandy beach, that's how bad I want one.

Thanks for keeping a cell phone in mind. Remember I am in middle school, independent, and trustworthy. Also I will need someone to pick me up when K'Lei goes to high school. But most importantly it's for emergencies when I'm not home. Don't you just want to see my little face light up with joy when I get a cell phone.

With all my **LOVE** in the **WORLD!** your **FAVORITE** daughter, Maya DeLauro

The awesomely awesome phone that has a full keyboard that I want is a blue Env3. It looks something like this.
