Hi! So this is Auggie's letter to Ava. Let's just pretend he can write eloquently even though he's this many (holds up five fingers). Even though Ava's attitude is insufferable, I ship them because they genuinely care about each other (their "wedding" was adorable). If you ship them too, let me know and leave another suggestion for a love letter. Hope you like it!


Dear Ava Morgenstern,

Now that we are husband and wife, I want to you to know how much I love you. I love you more than chocolate cake, rollercoasters, and Mr. Googly. I love you more than pirates and aliens and tater tots. I love you even more Mommy loves Daddy (and they love each other a lot).

My mommy says you're a brat. My daddy says you're spoiled. My sister didn't say anything about you but I'm sure she won't like you. But even though my mommy throws you out and my daddy's too scared to say anything about it, I still love you. Riley says I'm too young to know what love means but what does she know? She only had one boyfriend and I don't know what happened to him. Love is when two people meet and fall for each other and live together forever and ever. It's just like what my mommy and daddy did. And I know we will grow up and have kids and tell them about how we fell in love and live happily ever after.

Ava, my mommy thinks you're mean and selfish and she can't stand you or your mommy. She's kinda right about the selfish thing but I still love you. I like a girl who can say anything she wants and not apologize for taking stuff. Girls who are nice and polite are great but they are boring and no fun. You are fun and crazy and brave. I like it.

Emma Weathersbee means nothing to me. She's just a friend. I would rather kiss the subway floor than to kiss her. She doesn't understand me the way you do. She does everything I tell her and that's annoying. I would rather do that you want. Plus, she doesn't like getting dirty. You love getting dirty. You're the only girl in first grade that doesn't use manners and I like that.

We have a lot in common. We both like cheese and Mr. Googly and board games. We both hate manners and grace and sweet stuff. And we both know we would do anything for each other. I would die if we were broken up. I hate it when I make you feel unhappy. I love it when you smile. We're just like my mommy and daddy. I don't know why my mommy doesn't like you. Because to me, you're perfect just the way you are.

Love, Auggie Doggie Matthews


Aren't they just adorable? And for the next letter, you know who it is. It'll be pointless to leave a clue. See you next time!
