Just say no!

There is a dry erase board on my floor, right next to the door leading in from the elevators (and near a break room). When passing by there this morning, I saw that there was a new message and drawing. It consisted of:

“Let’s say no to cockroaches!” written above a small drawing of a cockroach that had been crossed out with a large X.

Then someone came along and drew another cockroach, with a thought bubble that read: “That is so unfair! I was just eating the left over pizza!”

And finally, a third line beneath that, someone wrote “Oh, I’m sorry I crushed you then”.

Hahahah.

Who am I and who are you and who are we?

Mom is in the process of applying for US Citizenship (she’s British, living here as a legal alien). For the past week or so, I’ve been quizzing her daily on the questions, and she’s been working on filling out the application. This weekend she’s been gathering all the additional documentation she needs to provide with her application. One of the things mom needed was a copy of my dad’s death certificate.

When she was going through the files from my dad’s death, she came across the sympathy cards we received, and was looking through them. She noticed something that we apparently missed completely 5 years ago. The inside of one of the cards was addressed to “Linda, Kerri, and Kevin”. I’m assuming that I am supposed to be Kerri, and my brother Aaron would be the Kevin. (Although, I do get a lot of mail addressed to Kevin.) At least they got my mom’s name right. The funnier/sadder bit — this card was from cousins. People who SHOULD know our names.
