Dear Daughter,
Yesterday, Dad seemed extremely occupied with letter-writing, more than I had seen him do so in weeks.
Finally, I asked him who he was writing to and the following conversation ensued:
M: It seems like you've been writing letters today.
D: Uh huh.
M: Who have you been writing to?
D: Oh, the people on my list [I never knew said list existed].
M: Like who?
D: My parents.
M: What did you write to them about?
D: My little girl preached!
M: Oh, and who else?
D: The tios [Tios means uncles plural or aunt and uncle in Spanish].
M: And what did you write to them?
D: My little girl preached!
M: And who else?
D: Oh, Larry [Gerraty]...
M: And what did you have to say to him?
D: My little girl preached!
M: Oh, so there's a theme here...
D: What else would I have to say? Isn't that what you'd do?
M: I guess you're right. I did write [e-mail] to a couple of people myself. Anyone else?
D: Oh, I can't remember...Dr. Jones...Dr. Haloviak...Charles Teel...I think maybe I told Dr. Jones that Daughter seemed to have acquired some specific skills at [insert university name]...oh, and Dan Smith...
M: And all of them, the same thing?
D: Yeah, my little girl preached!
Sounds like a proud Daddy you have there! Me too!
Love ya,
Ma
