Reading and writing

Rachel writes her name very well these days -- it's recognizable, if a little shaky, like that of a WWII vet in his 80s or so -- and the other day she showed me something she was very proud of. She told me she had taken a thank-you note that one of her little friends had given her after Rachel attended her birthday party and written a message to me.

"It says, 'thank you for the cake you made for my birthday!'" Rachel said proudly.

What it really said was:

THETHLA[BDAE
LEUMEEI

RACHEL

It's probably a new alphabet she has developed. Modern hieroglyphic, perhaps?
