Your Dad’s Prezzie

Hi dear…..3.08pm here.
We are just back from shopping, during which your dad bought his birthday prezzie from you.
He is delighted with it!
I have it hidden, as usual, and will drag it out on the appointed day.
It’s very nice.
Cost is 49.99 plus GST and PST which, here in the centre of the universe is 7%.  So it is 14% altogether, I guess.  I can’t figure all that out, or rather, can’t be bothered remembering it. I told him that you wanted him to choose his prezzie, and he was very thrilled.  He has waited a long while for a new knife, so he’s pleased.
If you want to respond to me here, you can do so by 4.10pm my time, at which time I expect he will haul himself out of the sack and come down here.
Love, dear, always.
Mom

Actually, gst is now only 5%…so you only owe 12% in taxes! Phew!
