Dear TatDear TatDear Tat

 

Dear Tat,

People think I'm weird because I think being weird is cool. But it isn't, is it?

Confused

Dear Confused,

I think that people are weird at times when they don't want to be bored or just want to have fun. But it gets kind of bugging when people overdo it. Being weird is pretty cool, but I guess it has to do with the way you're acting weird.

Tat

Dear Tat,

I have a really bad allergy to turkey. I hate goose! Thanksgiving is coming up soon and I'm hungry for meat. What should I do?

Allergic

Dear Allergic,

Maybe if you want to celebrate Thanksgiving and you're really hungry for meat, why not try a big King salmon?

Tat

Dear Tat,

I get so bugged by people misunderstanding. I mean, no matter how much you explain, it never seems to work. What can I do?

Bugged 3

Dear Bugged 3,

Maybe if you speak a foreign language to the people who don't understand you, they will understand you better.

Tat

Dear Tat,

Someone stole my mariner coil!!! What shall I do?

Mariner Man

Dear Mariner Man,

Well, maybe you could check around for it, or ask someone to buy you a brand spankin' new one.

Tat

 

Dear Tat,

I'm in love with someone. But, I'm really not sure if she understands the way I feel about her. What shall I do?

Misunderstood

Dear Misunderstood,

You should either try to make her understand or fall in love with somebody else.

Tat

Dear Tat,

I have a math problem. What does 2+2 equal?

Stunned

Dear Stunned,

Four, but you should go back to the first grade to relearn your math or find a Allergic 1st grader to help you.

Tat

Dear Tat,

I have many friends who can't keep secrets. I need to share my problems with someone I can trust. What can I do?

Secretive

Dear Secretive,

Every person has at least one friend they can trust, and you must have a friend you can trust too. Find that person and only trust him or her with your closest secrets.

Tat

Dear Tat,

I've got a problem with a certain student. He can't concentrate. What do I do?

Teach

Dear Teach,

You should talk with the counselor.

Tat
