Mum-mail
(translated from an e-mail I received from my Mum yesterday)
Wow, that took me by surprise. I thought my suggestion [to visit Uncle F and our former green grocer M] would be refused with all your might. But look at that...
I had to put up with some nagging from your Dad as well, "Did you really have to scare her like that? She'll fret about it until she arrives." And so on.
I think we do not know out daughter that well anymore. Gee.
I think Mum had a visit from Captain Obvious recently.
The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.
