Probably wrote that backwards. But who does come first? Who has to prove to who their honesty in order to get honesty in return? Mmmm, very interesting, deep and probing question. As usual, however, I am ahead of myself or, rather, my latest story.
I think I got high last night. Very strange. Seems to eliminate migraines! Guess I'll move to California.
No, that's not what started it. I simply asked, "What's in the package that could not go in your luggage? Note: USPS will ask me too." And the answer was, "Just stuff that wouldn't fit in my luggage." Very strange-sounding response for a somewhat lightweight & slightly aromatic package. And I really didn't think the USPS would take "stuff that wouldn't fit in my child's luggage" as a description of the package contents.
By the way, USPS (post office shipments) are subject to as many or more security tests as airport luggage. Guess you didn't know that. So, as to shipping the package to you, there are some problems. In fact the problems are the same as if you put it in your luggage - but instead, I would be responsible for shipping it. Not, in my mind, a good way to use your parent - putting me in potential danger.
As the nosy parent (rarely, but this was aromatically enticing), I finally gave up and opened the package. Whew - glad I did! Two flammables: nail polish remover and a lighter need to be declared during shipping. They could have been shipped, but the flammability notification would have been very very important. I know. I used to work at a company that emphasized safety, safety & more safety.
I'm so glad you showed me the hookah and flavored packages last year. That made some sense. But the tobacco-hookah stuff does not qualify as "Just stuff that wouldn't fit in my luggage." I have searched but cannot find the legal age for smoking in Maryland. This would be somewhat important as I would not like to be arrested for supplying illegal tobacco to those under age. Maybe it would help if you explained the situation in the first place. Especially the smoking age in Maryland. Granted, I have not been a great role model when it comes to smoking. But at least now I know you don't mind the smell of tobacco like you used to. I guess every action has consequences.
And I was quite happy to find a pack of my cigarettes as I was literally out of cigarettes. I simply assumed that the pack of cigarettes was a present for one of your friends. But, after smoking most of the pack, I noticed this distinct odor. Mmmm...they weren't all regular cigarettes. But it is amazing what they do for migraines! Unfortunately, I also got very sick (kinda like throwing-up sick) as I had since I myself was 18. Seem to have an allergy to that green stuff. So much for moving to California!
By the way,this past year many of my packs of cigarettes have gone missing. Considering my ever-decreasing income and high cost of cigarettes, how much am I owed?
So the toothbrush and toothpaste remain. It's too bad that they weigh so much that it makes no sense to ship them - at all. But they'll be here when you return. Not sure about the hookah tobacco stuff. Can we have a discussion about that? Or do you want to avoid it completely?
If you are honest with me, then I will be honest with you.
Love,
mom
