It was the morning of my twenty third birthday and I get a call from my Dad.
Dad: HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY!
Me: Dad, I’m 23 today.
Dad: 23? You know, If you don’t get married in the next two years you are going to die alone.
Me: Um, Thanks dad I have to go.

Dear Jadeboo,
Mom told me the good news that you have good responses from the interviews. Congratulations!! We know you can do that.
However, there is one thing that we worry about you. You never dress-up and never spend time in “make-up” like many of your friends or your sister. However, the first impression in the interview is going to be very important. We just send you money via paypal to your Washington Mutual account. Half of it is for you to buy some good dresses and shoes for your interview. The other half is for your moving in the coming weeks. You are welcome to spend a small amount in dining which is one of your favorites. However, keep it small!!! Haaha!
Love,
Dad

Send us a good picture of that. We would love to see it.
