Twisted minds

I have been accused of having a twisted mind, in a good light though. Aaron and I love to think of weird things, mind games, codes and such. The other day, after working with Jacque on reading, Aaron told me that English is too complicated. There are too many letters that make the same sound. Wouldn't it be nice if each letter only made one sound? Reading would be less confusing because it would all be phonetics (once you knew all the sounds of each letter of course), and you wouldn't have to worry about so many grammar rules. So, of course we had to come up with our own alphabet! And then, we had to try writing a letter to James in our new alphabet!! Here it is for others that want to see an example. If you can't figure some letters/sounds out just skip it and it should probably make sense later. Note: Uppercase and lowercase are different letters.
