"Hello Mother, Hello Father"
Dear Mom and Dad,
Yesterday we spent all morning looking at the kidneys of our cadaver. Based on their condition, the guy must have been a real drinker. That’s what Alexie said, he’s my friend from England. He’s got a colostomy bag so he can make fun of anything. He calls our cadaver Big Jim Watkins. We’re not really supposed to give the bodies names or say bad things about them. They already sent one girl home for crossing Big Jim’s legs when our counselor wasn’t watching. She said, Don’t look, he‘s shy. It was pretty funny, but I didn’t laugh. I remember what you told me about respect for the dead and science and med school.
Thanks again for the gummy worms. I traded them with Alexie for some of his biscuits. That’s what they call cookies.
Love,
Pete (Your Little Coroner)
