Mom went to Boston for two weeks. That means dad is left alone at home to his own devices. I’ve received two emails from him in the past two days which make me question whether or not my mother is actually aware of what’s going on back in Bismarck. The first email was regarding vanity license plates … for his newly purchased car (mom, it’s a VW convertible, in case you hadn’t heard). The second one came in this morning. And I quote:

From: “Barnett, Robert A.”

To: “‘Lynsey Barnett’”

Lyns,

I forgot to ask how you are doing on that earring we talked about when you were home. I hope to hell you are saving some money for the purchase. We will also need to schedule a weekend date in the near future to carry out the task!!

Love,

Dad

All Fresh! readers should carefully note that my father does not have his ear pierced, but may have by the time Mom gets off the plane next weekend.
