"Thanks for the Care Package..." - Emily Skeggs/Roberta Colindrez/Sydney Lucas/Michael Cerveris
Dear mom and dad thanks for the care package
I was running out of granola bars
So it came just in the knick of time
They sell a kind here that I swear is made of paste
Nothing else worth writing home about
Har har
Al I could draw you some posters
Nah we need them tomorrow night
I could do it right now
Really
Yeah just some simple drawing right
Sure
So you want them to say
We just need some really good
No nukes posters
Right okay
So I was thinking
Maybe something like
Oh that's funny
That's really good
This
No this is just quick
Stupid
Who's this in the photo
My dad
That's your dad
Yeah
He looks cool
Did he teach you how to draw cartoons
Eh definitely not
Why's that funny
Oh it's not funny it's just he's more I don't know refined
I think it's amazing that he's cool with you being a dyke
What
Could we talk about something else
Sure
Why

I don't know how my parents feel about I just figured it out myself
Oh
About two weeks ago

Who were with

Oh my god I'm so embarrased
I was in a bookstore
In a bookstore
Nice

No
Two weeks ago I was just downtown I was in the bookstore
I was just browsing and I picked up this book
Ahh word is out
I was like
Oh interviews this looks interesting and then I was like
These people are all uh
Gay
Yes gay
And then I was like
Oh my god I'm a lesbi
Yes a dyke
Yes and I totally flipped out and shoved the book back
On the shelf and then I left
But then I came back the next day and bought the book
And then I came back the next day and bought all the other books in
That section and then
I made myself go to the meeting at the gay union and then
It's now
Hi
Hello

So I should probably go
Okay

Yeah I will be at the meeting

Cool see you then
Bye Allison
Bye Joan
