Great stuff..kept me laughing al the way through my steamed vegetable lunch. Anyway, this reminds me of when my daughter was just 13 and was chosen to attend a Summer Ballet program at Suzanne Farrell's (former NYC Ballet princiapal) home in the Adirondacks. I had heard about her strict enforcement of eating rules, but I never dreamed my daughter would be writing home everyday crying about how hungry they all were. So after all attempts at sending food packages were thwarted by Farrell, I decided to remove the contents of 2 huge tampon boxes and sent them stuffed with staples...cereal bars, dried fruit, nuts, etc. Yup... she found me out and boy was my daughter embarrassed.
I hope our Mikey learns the hard way...no care packages for this boy.

That is so funny. Tampons are so lightweight...that must have been the give-away....it may have worked if the person checking the package was a man.

Great! That was the reason I pinged the Misc. list to this thread... I knew everyone would get a good laugh out of it.
