So a package came in the mail yesterday...
I had been expecting a package from my parents because my mother had told me that she would be sending me a package sometime in the near future. So upon seeing a small brown package that had been obviously sent by loving parents, I walked over and inspected "my" package; to my dismay, the label on this innocent brown box read:
This deceiving little package was addressed to my roommate!
Ok, so maybe it wasn't so bad, it's probably just some missing socks he forgot, or some candy... I wasn't going to fret over something as small as that...
Wait... is that popular science? and a brand new graping calculator? all stuffed in with other small goodies and even a family portrait!?!?
Had my parents addressed the box to the wrong name?
But the family photo contained no one I recognized...
To summarize it all up, my parents promised me a prompt delivery of a care package (I even reminded them in the last post!) and now 8 days later, my roommate is already enjoying the spoils of a loving and endearing family who support him in his college endeavors, while I'm stuck here with a BYU-I branded vacuum in my wallet, and not even a single letter of encouragement from anyone remotely related to me...
I'm getting worried because my parents would NEVER leave me alone like this, something horrible must have happened to them!
something HORRIBLE did happen: you left and now we have a serious electronic crisis on our hands. How am I supposed to leave the house to mail a package with a catastrophe like that happening??
ReplyDeleteThat said, "secret message received". I shall mail a box off pronto and I will try to make it bigger and better than Taylor's. Game on! War of the care packages!
Also, I'm gonna need the Wall's address so that I can send them a stern warning that they'd better alert me next time they're sending off an awesome care package to their son so I don't look like the inept parent I really am. sheesh.
Then again, if Taylor starts sending me some incriminating scuttlebutt on your college life along with photos (for my blog), I just may start sending him care packages instead! Deal??
