Guard at the dorms, while pawing through the package: Whisky?
Me: Uh, no. My Mom sent this to me.
Guard: I'm sorry.
Me: [confused]
Um, I love my parents. And the wonderful, wonderful man at the US Embassy who delivered the 18 pounds of goodness to me.

You adore Moonstruck chocolates too? My mom used to work for them, and we'd eat pounds and pounds whenever she brought them home... Take Your Daughter To Work Day was probably the sweetest (literally) thing ever...
Miss you. And let me know if there is anything else you want... I love sending presents!
“My Mom sent these to me!” Bravo, Kari!
This is a resourceful application of Cultural Option 12.1: "When confronted with a hostile Egyptian authority figure, consider playing the parent card. e.g. “My parents would be disappointed if……. “Of course I understand, but my parents think………” “I wish I could, but my father would never….” *
This is logic that every Egyptian patriarch will readily understand and acquiesce to!

People have opened successful stands in the market with less stock. I dare you to go into business!
Could you get into trouble displaying the beach whistles openly? You could triple the money on everything else.
The parent card is logically elegant, especially if you carry their pictures with you. No, tattoos would n't be a good substitute.
BTW, Jake's "I'm OK" text message started out "Jake died..."
Boy needs a thrashing--mind handling that for me?
