New Person...and a Little More Guilt

New Person (See below for more guilt)

1. I passed a geography test in 3rd grade by "cheating." I could NOT think of the 7th continent for the life of me, and Shane Weller leaned over and said, "What, you can't remember how to spell Australia?"

2. I don't necessarily feel BAD, but I still remember paying my 25 cents at the gas station for my 5 pieces of Bazooka gum and coming home to find I had 6. I didn't take it back.

3. Instead of eating at restaurants while on the road for work at one point, when I was regularly in the same town as a (cash-strapped) friend, I would get takeout so I could share. I don't THINK the company intended to feed the neighborhood...


Grandma sent me this email today and it made me laugh. I haven't been posting because I've been busy. Sorry.


Hi Matthew,

I know you have been discouraged that some of our family are not playing the game but can we go ahead with guessing on the ones who have sent theirs? I tried to persuade a couple to get involved but it didn't work. It's their loss.

I am proud of you for trying. I know you are busy and if you can take the time to spearhead it, then we should all take the time to play. I don't know how to send this email to all at one time but if you want to, you can send it and tell them I said get with it and be a part of the family fun.

I am eager to see you and the family. I am clearing out that bedroom to give more room for you if you want to stay here like you have before.

Love,
Grandma
