A JOKE

Recently, I have read a joke. I think it’s very interesting. Now I try to translate it into English, and shard it with you. Hope you like it. (It’s about a letter from a father.)

Hello my dear son,
I wrote this letter slowly, because I know you’ll read it slowly too. The first thing I want to tell you that I have moved, but I use the old address all the same- I took the doorplate of the old address with me.
This week there was twice rain. The first time lasted 3 days, and the second time lasted 4 days. Yesterday, I went to buy some pizza. The shop assistant asked me how many pieces I want to cut, 8 pieces or 12 pieces? I said, “8 pieces is enough. 12pieces is too excessive to eat for me.”
I sent a new coat to you by mail. I’m afraid the coat is overweight, so I cut the fastener off, and put them into the pocket.
Your sister will give birth to a baby next week. I don’t the baby is a boy or a girl, so I don’t know you should be a aunt or a uncle.
At last, I thought sent some money to you, but the envelope have sealed.

Best wishes,
Your father xxx
