A letter from John Steinbeck to Marilyn Monroe

@Lostpoet How many boys at that age can write like this? Heck, I can't write like this!

@DrWatson When I was in the second grade my teacher made the class bring in their parents signatures saying that we can watch a certain Disney film in class. 🤦🏼‍♂️I forgot to ask my parents, so I signed my mom's name on to the permission slip and after the teacher collected all of them up i saw her go back to her desk and casually check through them, but then she stopped suddenly, and walked back over to my desk with one of the permission slips in her hand and placed it on my table. I was a bit puzzled, then she knelt down next to my ear and said, " People generally sign their names in cursive and they use their full name not just the first name. " She giggled, and then walked over to the tv monitor and turned it on.


😏Kids do stupid things when they want something.

@Lostpoet And I am sure that a fake letter from little Jon would have been as convincing as your printed signature on that form! 😄

@DrWatson Do you think Steinbeck made up a little Jon just to get Monroe's signature?

@Lostpoet No. It sounds as if they knew each other, and he seems far from being star struck. What he says about body functions is hilarious.

And Jon is real. He was interviewed about this. See my other responses here.

@DrWatson You know I only read my own stuff.
