A Donation to the American Diabetic

The other day I got an envelope addressed to me from my sister Eliza. On the front of the envelope was a cute little pink address label, and on the back was a sticker that said "Paralyzed Veterans of America" along with a note that read, "You will understand inside".

Inside, was a check for $5.00 made out to me (Emma), a note, and a reciept from the American Diabetes Association. Apparently, my sister has been recieving free address labels from the PVA and/or ADA, feels guilty about it, and thought that she should make a contribution. Instead of sending the money to the ADA though, she sent it directly to me because she said, "....instead of 75% of my money going to them, I figured that 100% of my dollar could go to you!" She even gave me suggestions on what I could do with the $5.00, including buying "a new binky", "candy candy candy" (which I thought was ironic...:), "two jugs of milk", "1 1/2 gallons of gasoline", "lip gloss", "Ben and Jerry's" (also ironic...:), "a flower for your kitchen table", and a "hair pretty".

I just about peed my pants when I read this. Eliza, you are the funniest person I have ever known.

I love my silly sister.
