voicemails from a father

10:34 a.m.

This is your father speaking. Giving a message from your mother. She can only wear jeans... she has to wear sneakers. And jeans. So when you pick a place for lunch she's telling me to tell you don't make it too fancy.

[frustrated sigh]

Why do I have to do this?

Anyways. [another sigh] Bye.


5:42 p.m.

It's your father. Call us when you get on the train so your mother knows you weren't kidnapped.
