And the Dentist Nags Continue...

To: Family
From: Mom


there are three people in dad's office that go to a dentist in newton that they all love.  we are all due for dental checkups so i wondered if we should try to set up some appointments. 

(only problem is the three people in dad's office who see this dentist are beautiful women, so i'm not sure if you have to be a beautiful woman to see him, in which case dad would be the only one pre-qualified.)

Centipede Leaves a Note

To: Mom

fyi the pillow on the floor in the livingroom probably has a dead centipede under it. i saw ANOTHER one and it was the only thing in reach. afraid to move it in case centipede is still alive. ewww ewww ewww

From: Mom

dad lifted the pillow.  no centipede was there.  but he left a note.  said he is hurt that you have not made him feel welcome in your home.  and that it was his home first.  and that he's hoping you can become friends in the future.  he suggested maybe you could get together for a drink in cambridge.  he also said that it is not easy to have been born with a hundred legs.  that he tries to accept it but the jokes still sting.  he said he's disappointed that you, of all people, aren't more accepting.

Me:first you have to type a < then 3 and it looks like a heart. kind of.

Dad (on g chat): ♥ ???

Me: nice!

Dad: How the fuck did it turn over and turn red???

(NEW!) BEST OF: Do Not Post About Your Boobs on Facebook

From: Mom

To: LS

You are almost 24 and getting a master's and might be looking for a job someday, and/or trying to make contacts in Europe with adults who might employ you. I REALLY don't think, for the sake of your own self-esteem first of all, and second of all for your resume and for whoever you might want to take you seriously, that you should put posts about your boobs on facebook. I'm serious. AND DO NOT SEND THIS TO EFMM! Or, if you want to, go right ahead, maybe it will give some other young women good advice! OY. You don't see guys putting posts out there about how they wish their penises were bigger, do you? YOU NEVER KNOW WHO CAN READ FACEBOOK, and it makes you sound dumb and like a young woman with low self-esteem. How about a quotation about a favorite piece of artwork instead? Okay, I'm done now. 

Love, your feminist since 8th grade wise and smart mother!!!!!!
