Kids Write the Darndest Hate Mail of the Day: John’s 8-year-old daughter was unhappy that their Saturday trip to the beach was delayed due to John’s preference for the end of a football game, so she wrote him this nastygram later that night.

John says: “The tragedy of it all, combined with the warning — and offset by the pretty border and the flower — really make for a lovely package.”

Hey John: Get. Out. Now.
