My mother is 75 years old and sternly disapproves of Miley Cyrus, and after being told of the online battle between her and Sinead O\u2019Connor, my mother got even angrier and decided to write an Open Letter of her own to Miley.<\/p>\n

Dear Ms. Cyrus:<\/p>\n

Hello, how is the weather? The weather in Ottawa has been a mixed bag. It\u2019s just been so unpredictable this year!\u00a0 The leaves have started to turn in the Gatineau hills and it\u2019s as beautiful as always. If you\u2019re ever in Ottawa for one of your concerts you should take the time to have a look because it\u2019s really very pretty.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not the weather that\u2019s making me write this letter, I\u2019m writing to let you know just how much I disapprove of your behaviour. You\u2019re a very bad role model! I know it must feel \u201ccool\u201d or \u201coff the hoof\u201d to be acting out in such a way, but it\u2019s not!! You should listen to what older ladies, and that Irish man, have to say to you because they\u2019ve been through it and you haven\u2019t! Not listening is elder abuse, you know.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

When I hear about you shaking your bottom at the camera all I can think of is how you must be hurting your parent\u2019s achy-breaky hearts. Is that the sort of daughter you want to be, the sort of daughter who sticks a knife in the heart of her mother and father by acting the harlot? Don\u2019t you know that if you give the milk away for free nobody will buy the cow? Do you have an education to fall back on? What if this \u201cTwerping\u201d career doesn\u2019t work out and nobody wants to buy your LP\u2019s, what then? What if you get sick???<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I was a nurse for 40 years Miley, and I learned a thing or two. One of which is that walking around with your tongue hanging out all the time is not just VERY unflattering, but it\u2019s also VERY unhygienic. Have you ever seen cancer of the tongue? Have you?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not very \u201csexy\u201d let me tell you, and you can get it if you keep a dirty tongue. You can\u2019t be licking sledgehammers! There are all sorts of germs on them! You need to gargle with salt water and baking soda at least twice a day, and you need to keep your tongue in your mouth! It\u2019s what you sing with, Miley, and you, who hasn\u2019t bothered to get an education, cannot afford to get tongue cancer, lose your career and then be husbandless– because you gave all the milk away when you were young– and force your parents to look after you for the rest of your life! They\u2019re not made of money, you know!<\/p>\n

Anyway, it\u2019s time for me to feed Frito, so I should go. I hope it\u2019s a nice day in L.A. and that you\u2019re able to turn your life around so that you\u2019re not so hurtful to your parents. They gave you your life, you know.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
