Letter to Mother Cow

Dear Mother Cow,

I am writing a personal note to you to sincerely and humbly ask for forgiveness because I have sinned. In my 29 years of existence not only have I abstained from consuming beef and enjoying leather products, but I have always made sure I gratefully drank (and did not waste) every drop of milk that came my way.

But yesterday I came across an evil, evil store called HIDESIGN and I saw this brown camel cowhide handbag that actually called out to me. It beckoned to me – invitingly, only at Rs$3,850 (ridiculously at $88 CAD) and told me how great it would look draped on my shoulders….Who can pass it up?!?! Certainly not a mere mortal like me! So I caved, I was weak, what could I do? I’m sure that even if you saw it, you’d want it - ok no, scratch that thought – I’m sorry!

But back to the forgiveness – I’m asking you forgiveness for my past action and for my future actions – because I am going back to get a matching wallet, key chain, coin purse…I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I really hope you and your fellow co-mother cows will understand. A girl’s gotta have what a girl’s gotta have. And deep down inside (deep, deep down) I want you to know that I’m still a good Hindu girl (with a little bit of leather swag in her closet).

Sincerely,
Lots of Love & Hugs,
Sonia
