The time I sent a fundraising letter to my parents

me: i had another fundraising interview today actuallybut i think i'd just prefer to sleep late, go to the gym, get lunch and go to happy hour
w: sounds like a nice life
me: i think so, i should start looking for a sponsor
w: yeah, it's called your parents.
me: i should write my parents a fundraising letter!
dear friend,

i want to thank you for your support over the past 22 years. your
donations have made a valuable contribution to the lifestyle of one
relwoods. i am writing today to ask you to
continue your support for this special cause. these are trying times,
the period between college and the real world is a scary place, and
your donation will be put to good use throughout the district of
columbia bar and retail scene. we thank you again for your continuing
support and look forward to seeing you for the high holidays and
thanksgiving

all the best,

your daughter


All was fun and games until my actual father utilized the "REPLY TO ALL" feature, instantly reaching a level of parental embarrassment heretofore only imagined.

We look forward to continuing this charitable giving program for an
additional brief period of time, since in about 10-15 years, we anticipate
that the roles will be reversed. We look forward to YOUR support, to make
possible the "sleep late/gym/lunch/happy hour" lifestyle at that time.

-- the 'rents

Ps: Are the contributions tax deductible ?
