24 Red-horned Mavericks
Posted on October 12, 2009 at 09:16pm
I’m studying abroad for law school, so my dad sent this really cute birthday email to me (I turned 24 so it’s also my zodiac year of the ox):
The 24 hearts are our devotions to you
The 24 flowers are our congratulations to you
The 24 little red suns are we feel about you
Some red crabs are just for fun we send you
The 24 cellular phones are the favorite toys of you
The 24 bags are for shopping much needed by you
The 24 red horn mavericks are just you you you …
Happy birthday. Love. -Dm
We skyped later about it and the conversation went something like this:
Dad: Did you like my email?
Me: I thought it was so sweet! Thanks so much! Two questions though. What shopping bags are you talking about? Those are cake slices!
Dad: Oh really?? Hmm…my eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be. I must be getting old.
Me: And what’s a red-horned maverick?
Dad: You don’t know what a maverick is? It’s a baby cow!
Me: But those are devil faces, Dad….
Dad: WHAAAT. Those are cow faces with red horns!
