Katie in Scotland says she found this note “stuck to a wall at about knee-height, right above a very sad-looking deflated palm tree and a bunch of deflated inflatable bananas.” Unfortunately, Katie says, “i have no idea what the back story is…but I would love to, especially as the note writer seems to be a fair bit older than 8 or 11.”

Everybody knows that mature, responsible adults play tit for tat with children. It totally looks cool when you stoop down to their level. SRSLY.

Given the tone of the note I’d say the palm tree and the bananas now have tiny needle pricks in them and are no longer ‘inflatable’.

I am not going to hazard a guess as to the scenario, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the PAN writer deliberately pricked all the inflatables several times with a pin before offering them to little Dylan & Amy.

Why rub it in that 8 + 11 is quite little? This adult needs to play nice.

I think Dylan & Amy walked in on a little extreme role-playing monkey love.

There’s nothing like a deflated banana to break up the party.

This reads like one of Michael Jackson’s out-of-court settlements.
Too soon?

Thank you so much. Yes, we have no bananas, so we accept.
Sincerely,
Dylan + Amy = Dylanamy
(We do math as well as read.)

Possible scenario:
Dylan: If you’re never going to inflate the goddamn palm tree and bananas, you should give them to a charity case.
Amy: She still needs practice giving a good blow, is what I’ve heard.
Note Writer: Fuck off and stick your heads up a kilt you little bastards, before I tell your father who your real dad is.
Now he’s a charity case!
(Dylan and Amy run and tell their Dad. Under threat of a painful death, the above concession is made.)

Dear palm tree + inflatable banana owner,
We assume that since you are an adult, you should know how to write within the lines on a sheet of notebook paper.
Your writing is quite large.
Thanks for the stage props, as our company is putting on “South Pacific” next month….got any coconuts?
Yours in bratty rudeness,
Dylan + Amy

GK
I wonder if the note-writer has ever even used paper before… he’s writing letters twice the height of the lines and clearly had a wrestling match with the block before he was able to tear a sheet off.
The only logical conclusion is that he’s a time-travelling visitor from a distant future where paper is obsolete. 8 + 11 is quite little compared to the vast centuries he traversed to find the sole ancient artefacts from our times that could save the future world; an inflatable palm tree and a bunch of inflatable bananas. But since Dylan and Amy were rude to him, the leaders of his society sent him to take the stuff back — they didn’t want them. Politeness is a very big thing in the future. Instead, he went back to 1983 and borrowed ones from Mrs. Quinstace Archithorpe, 41 Brownstow Road, Manchester.
Thus was disaster averted.

That’s every bit as cryptic as Lewis Black’s bit: “If it weren’t for my horse, I never would have spent that year at college.”

You know, the note writer really shouldn’t make assumptions. Our education system is quite flawed, so it is very possible that Dylan and Amy cannot read.
So if Amy and Dylan are very little and cannot read, they are probably street smart and are planning to melt down the inflatable paradise and inject it into a nearby hobo. See what happens when you assume?

Why does katie think the note writer is a fair bit older than 8 and 11? The writer might be older but from the way it’s written it doesn’t look like they’re that much older.
