and go go boots
an email from my mom, but first, some backstory. she wrote me something, and it smelled like typical guilt-inducing sarcastic fare, so i reacted snarkily. she responded that she was being sincerely nice and that i was overreacting. i explained that i my harsh reaction was due to experience. and then she wrote this hilarious gem:
Dear Jennifer: Don’t be so up tight. Mom’s happy to see you finally can relax.
For your information, lately mom’s conversation always like mini skit, short and get to the point.
Your information and experience is old and out dated.
Love always and forever,
Mom

um, well, you know what dad said yesterday?
We were talking on the phone about stuff and I told him I had to volunteer. The convo went a lil something like this:
“Dad, okay, i’ll call you back. I think I’m going to go volunteer.”
Dad: “What????”
“I said, I need to go volunteer!”
Dad: “Ohhh..Volunteer!”
“Yes dad”
Dad: “Your english is getting worse.”

To my darling Jennifer and Chritina: (1/22/2009)
Mom wants to share this poem with you girls.
You are a shining example of what a daughter can be-love and laughter
beautiful and good honest and principled determined and independent
sensitive and intelligent you are a shining example of what every mother wishes her daughter was and I am so very proud of you.
-From Susan Polis Schutz
Mom’s so very proud of both of you.
