Mom Hi, sweetie! I am on a cruise in Hawaii. I know you didn't know about it, because your father surprised me with it yesterday. I expect you to stay in your part of the house (the basement) so you won't mess anything up. I see this as a chance for you to be more responsible and finally think about finding a house. You're almost 29. GET A HOUSE. I'll be in Hawaii if you need something. Love you!
