This is the email I just sent to my 1st graders Teacher. I never thought that I would be asking these questions about a rabbit.

Hi,

Madeline is very excited about her bunny being a contestant in a race against a tortoise. She doesn't seem to know many useful details so I am hoping that you can clear some things up for me.

Is this real?

Is there going to be a live tortoise to race Slippers?

Will this be an indoor race?

Is there a date and time set for the race?

If you really want me to bring Slippers to school I can. It isn't a problem.
