Dear Journal:

This is me, again, Double D. I want to give you an update on Eddy. My feelings about his inexplicable selfishness have changed after he eventually apologized for the way he acted the day he had Ed steal Sarah's money.

Another day I failed to mention and want to talk to you about is when he used Rolf's sea cucumber balls for karate lessons. There was a big feud between those two and me as I tried to apologize for Eddy by giving Rolf a potted plant, which turned out to be the "potted plant of ridicule." Then you remember the duel Eddy and Rolf had.

That was one preposterous incident, and while I can't blame Eddy for defending himself, Rolf's behavior was ludicrous and inexcusable. Couldn't he just put aside his tradition for others? I could not believe my eyes when he dug himself in the ground and grieved in there. Talk about lack of maturity!

I've been to Sapporo, Japan before. The Japanese consider it rude to walk and eat at the same time I just learned. I ate a candy bar and walked at the same time. The natives who were walking pretended they didn't notice. Compared to Rolf's actions, they were very professional about my miscue and it would be very nice if the entire world and all the different cultures would be like that.

Let's get back to Eddy. His behavior has very much improved since the money stealing. The time when he refused to get the Chunky Puffed-by-a-monster- named-Ed kids down from the wall and allowed monster Ed to continue his uncontrollable destruction wasn't as angering to me as the other times.

I'm glad that I don't have to resort to drastic measures with him. We're all getting along well again and this is good.

By the way, this will be the last time I'll write to you in a while. My family and I are taking a week-long vacation to Switzerland. My father has always wanted to go there and we'll finally be able to go. I'll miss talking to you and I hope Eddy will continue his good behavior.

Sincerely,

Edd, A.K.A., Double D
