What a Dee-lightful world
December 8th, 2004
So, as we’ve seen before, my mom, Dee, enjoys mailing me things. She mostly sends Twix, running socks (okay. I get it.) and newspaper clippings about reality television. But sometimes she goes above and beyond my Mawmee Expectations (ME) and sends something like this.
She probably doesn’t even remember sending this, but she’ll be so thrilled that I actually kept it. Seriously. It’ll warm her heart.
More recently, Dee sent this:
She wrote ‘’We’re enjoying his column lately.'’ Oh, Dee. It’s so cute that you wrote this out to let me know. Which TV shows are you enjoying? What was the last movie you rented? Did you like it? Please explain why in a 100-word essay, and send it with Kirschbaum’s cookies.
Dee also took this picture of my sister and me looking snobby (on purpose) on Bleecker street with our new matching bags — gifts from our parents thanks to the amazing Lighthouse Place outlet mall in Michigan City, Indiana. Did those last three words just blow your mind?
I’m sorry in advance.
Meghan and I are so self-aware of the stereotype here that we are effectively the ANTI-stereotype. The fact that I’m even putting it up on this site is a joke. Right? I think so…
Eh. Who even cares. MATCHING PURSES!

I love Dee. My mom also sends me news paper clippings, pictures, etc. However, no food. That requires a larger box and going to the post office and that is all together too confusing. Most recently, the mailings have been wedding announcements in The Doings or articles reminding me that I need to plan for my retirement.
