The advice columnist certainly seems to be a real person, and the column most likely reads just as it appeared.
However, the query letter is rather obviously a fake. It's a joke.
C'mon, do you really buy the "...he had spilled iced tea all over the desk when writing it, and it damaged a lot of papers" line?
Give me a break.
In the reply, the advice columnist alludes to it all at face value, but I suspect she was just pleased to receive such a notably strange letter.
This leads me to deride the ratiocinative abilites of all who have replied in this thread.
Now if the above bit concerning the spilled iced tea had not been present, I would then have been inclined to think that, yes, it is indeed quite possible that the child of the person that wrote the letter genuinely but erroneously assumes that the locution is "camel toads" instead of "camel toes," and that the godparent doesn't know any better themselves. But, per the usual, the hoaxer took things too far in their subterfuge.
That's fun stuff, Rob. Thanks for it.
