Subject: MCI LETTER
Keywords: smirk

A few summers ago MCI sent my roommates and I a letter that
boldly professed, "WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY!" Also, on the envelope,
there was a picture of a happy nuclear family. I was so excited
to be a part of it that I mailed them the following letter:
Dear MCI,
Thank you for your beautiful letter that welcomed me to
your family. I was pleasantly surprised by how warm and
genuine it was. I noticed that you offered me savings when I
call friends and family that also use MCI. I presume that
you use MCI, and since we are family, I am looking forward
to all the savings I will receive from calling you.
I am doing well in college. The semester is almost
over, and soon I will be home. Unfortunately, it will only
be for a few weeks, but I look forward to seeing you. I met
a girl, and we've started seeing each other. I think you
will like her; she has your eyes.
There were some things in the letter that perplexed
me. I was confused by the photograph on the envelope. Why
wasn't I in the picture of our family? You could have waited
for me to get back before you made personalized stationary
for us. It hurt me. And really, if we are family, then why
did you bill me? I never made you pay me when I mowed the
lawn or vacuumed the house for you. We're family; we
shouldn't make each other pay for things we help each other
with.
Also, I ran out of money, and was wondering if you
could send me some. I don't need much, just enough for some
food and clothes. Thanks a lot. Say hello to Teddy and Jerry
for me.
You son,
Eugene Mirman
P.S. I love you.
