Gabe has a thing with stamps. The first time he saw my stamp collection, he was so amazed. Perhaps because of the beautiful pictures of the many things printed on such small pieces of paper.
Once when we found a mail still has a stamp on its envelope, he even cried asking to peel off the stamp from the envelope, and put it in his little stamp book.
“Dad, what are these stamps for?”
“For sending letters.. say you want to write a letter to your far away cousin, you can put the stamp on the envelope so the postman would deliver it. The stamp works a bit like money.”
“Can we use the peeled stamps to send our letter?”
“No I don’t think so, son.. they’re already stamped. We can only use new stamps to send letters, or use the old ones which haven’t been stamped from the post office..”
“Dad, let’s get some stamps and send letters!”
“Hey, that’s a good idea.. not many are sending letters through post office.. nowadays people can send text messages or e-mail instead of old-fashioned letter.”
Well, if you share the same idea, why don’t we exchange letters with Gabe? He’d be thrilled and I can assure you he’ll reply back.
Do let us know and I’ll give you the mailing address. :-)
