Dear Elizabeth,

Do you remember how Mom gave us each a white sweater for Christmas last year? Well,I went to wear mine yesterday, and it had a stain on the front of it! I know I didn’t do that. I think YOU stained YOUR shirt and then swapped it with mine, thinking I wouldn’t notice. Is that what happened?
