MOOPS said he pooped; he did not say he was alone, nor did he say that he was in the quiet or privacy of a bathroom!
Duke also sent out a thin envelope. My heart sank, because a buddy the previous year, had told me to expect a thick envelope. I tossed it aside and became introspective. Sat on the sofa, watched some Discovery and Bravo.
Mom happened to call. I gave her the bad news. She asked me what, if anything other than the usual "We regret to inform you ...." crap was written. Half-heartedly, I admitted that I had not even opened the letter.
Honestly, she expected a rejection after hearing it was a thin envelope, but Mom still wanted me to open the envelope. So, with her on the phone, I did. All she heard was my quiet gasp, and then silence. With great warmth in her voice, she said, "I really sorry for you. I know you wanted to go to Duke."
She said a few others words, none of which I heard: I was excitedly telling her that I was in!
Moms can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I am glad that I got to share that moment with her.
