Paint yer freakin' wagon...

Let's get right to the point on this one - My family has been very instrumental in breaking every single United States Postal Service rule on mailing things. My mom, in her sweet innocent way has mailed actual live plants to me - she watered them before she sent them... ya, kinda like what you're imagining. When my son was in Taiwan on his mission - I would make sure that the packaging that needed to remain square in order to mail it, was as round as a basketball. Recently, the mail man at the post office called me a Mormon Missionary Mom - because we always break the rules.... to that I smiled and replied, wanna hear more about our church? (He mailed off the package for me - hope it doesn't 'roll' off the truck!) BUT, this takes the cake. Mandy called me and said - 'Mom, I'm mailing you a can of paint!' She was so proud of herself! I reminded her that it was kinda illegal of sorts. She told me that Glidden was giving away cans of paint as a promotional! Well - soon after that, I received my 'can of paint' it was so banged up and distorted I cannot believe that the top didn't pop right off! Never-the-less - Mandy, you take the prize. Just don't tell Grandma -she'll probably send me a litter of kittens or something. By the way, thanks for thinking of me sweetheart - I received, and will enjoy my can of 'Very Olive Olive' and will use it wisely. PS - Mandy sent one to herself and her seester Ashley - rack that up for 3 misdemeanors....we won't post your address Mandy....
