Hey Mom,
So nice to see you using Xfce!  I thought you weren't really
interested when I was talking about all that geek stuff over the
years.  You're right; writing open-source software can be very
thankless, kind of like motherhood.  I always knew you had such
insightful perspective!

Oh, and hey... could I borrow some money?  I'm a bit short lately, and
could use some extra to float on.  I can pick it up when I'm home this
weekend to do my laundry.

Love,
Your ever-giving son
