<p>Apparently I failed to mention to my dad not to look in the mailbox... I about had a heart attack when I found out he got the mail yesterday. My mom said she's going to be really tempted to look and leave the mail in the box so I don't know she looked, but that would make me really upset. This is one of those things you just want to know yourself... am I right? I want to be the one to tell them, not the other way around.</p>
