Uh, at home opening the mail. My second thought after I read the letter was whether I would be able to convince my son to attend that Big 3. The answer was yes!

Pre-K: It was a balmy spring evening. I was drinking a small gin and tonic and stuffing larks' cheeks with jamon iberico when my butler brought me the letter on a silver tray.

St. Albans: It was cold. I was upstairs having my anus bleached. I snorted a little Bolivian marching powder in celebration.

Yale: I was whipping the new maid a rolled-up copy of Horse and Hounds - there had been an unforgivable incident with a Ming Vase. Weather: overcast, light rain later.

Harvard Law School: the butler found me asleep in the stables after a large dose of ketamine. In my drug-induced fog I could barely take in the good news. I must have slept with half of Mclean in the course of the next week.


HANDS DOWN, the single best post on this blog in the history of the world. I can barely type this, I am crying from laughing my ass off. Bless you, brilliant soul. And do enjoy your next anal bleaching. My treat.


+ 1.
Felicitations on your anal bleaching! I am sure the horse riding has toughened that particular area. Larlo/Larla will indeed thrive at HYP, if they have their esteemed mother's fortitude and toughness!

My thing is exfoliation and masturbation and that makes me one of the "shiny happy people (holding hands usually, but in this case the acceptance letter)".

We felt smug and superior to the unshiny, unhappy people holding refunds!

This is one of the stupidest posts I've ever seen.

Try and locate my sense of humor so I don't end up like you?

Wow. Three kids. Six acceptance letters. Don't remember reading any of them.

I was getting it on with the mailman when the fat envelope slipped out his pouch. Still remember the feeling!!

My semi-regular cleaning lady/nanny Lourdes from Guatemala brought in the mail before feeding my three children lunch and taking them to Volta Park for a few hours, the time I needed daily to get important shopping errands done. I was so excited I dropped my Harvard ring and it bounced in the fireplace, and Lourdes had to crawl in and find it.


You left out the part where Lourdes hit her head on the mantle and , lacking health insurance, and barely making a living wage, could not afford proper care.


This is my all-time favorite!

Four years later, and this is still my favorite. Each item is better than the last. I giggle every year when I read this.



How creative! Love it!
