Remember in “101 Dalmatians”, when the dogs in the village wanted to talk to each other, they would bark to the dog next door, and it would carry on until every one heard the news? It was called a ‘twilight bark,’ as I recall. Well, I was going to call G-ma & G-pa just now, but I realized that they would say, how’s Melanie? how was the party?, and I would not have an answer, so if you could please get back to me with a brief synopsis of the party – kind of a like a society column item – then I can call the G-parents with answers to all of their questions.
Write back soon!

Twilight Bark for G-ma and G-pa
How about Melanie fucking calls her grandparents herself?

This seems like a sneaky way for Mom to hear about the party…

Was the Disney reference really relevant?

Russ : Was the “deathbabydeath@gmail.com” reference a clue to your diminished mental capacity???

In my defense, if I had known when I wrote this email that it would be posted ON THE INTERNET FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE, I would have tried to draw the “twilight bark” reference and the family phone calls together better. . . . when I call my mother (“G-ma”), she asks how Melanie is, and I feel funny when I have to say, “I don’t know,” so I try to talk with Melanie before I talk to G-ma.
Also, I believe the party that I asked about in the email was Melanie’s first party in her new apartment, a Christmas party that I drove 100 miles the morning of to drop off furniture & extra chairs, so I felt entitled to a review of the festivities. If it turned into a drunken orgy, she wouldn’t have to tell me the truth or anything.
