“Fatherly (Mis)understanding”

Dear Dad,

School is really great. I’ve made lots of friends and am studying hard. With all my stuff, I simply can’t think of anything I need, so if you would like, you can just send me a card, as I would love to hear from you.

Love, your son.

Reply from Dad:

Dear Son,

I know that astronomy, economics, and oceanography are enough to keep even an honor student busy. Do not forget that the pursuit of knowledge is a noble task, and you can never study hard enough.

Love, Dad.
