House Guests

Text sent to my father this morning, 2 days before our trek to visit him. No offense to any Lithuanians....

Yo daddy....you awake? Wanna make sure you and Jan are still ok w/ us coming out there. You seem a bit hesitant about the number of house guests. Is it stressing you or Jan out too much?

By the way...I hope you don't mind, but we are hosting a band of Lithuanian foreign exchange students and their flock of camels. We feel bad about leaving them behind with the language barrier and all. We figure there is enough space for the camels in the yard and the Lithuanians don't take up too much space...they are compact and you can stack them on top of each other. Maybe one or two can sleep in the bed with you and Jan. They are cuddly creatures. By the way, the camels are gluten free, so would be good to have some grain free camel kibble for them. The good news is you can reuse the dung in your compost. You'll have award winning azaleas next year. If you don't get the grain free stuff, they get gassy and, pardon my language, but that shit smells and then the whole situation can get uncomfortable. On the whole, they've been delightful and I think you'll enjoy the lively, high spirited bunch. And the good news is they are a very loyal people so they are likely to come back next year and they usually bring with them many distant relatives and livestock
