Snack Sets

Mom, before you give anything to DI, Amy said she would happily take the the remaining glass snack sets.  She doesn't want to stand in the way of others who might want them.  So, she is keeping quiet.  Family and possessions is always a tricky subject.  But, as soon as you say the acronym "DI" all bets are off.

Todd,
I have one more matching snack set for Amy. In other words, it is just like the other two you already have. Also, I have a box of ten plates and cups: two of one kind, three of another, and five of another. Two plates had one small chip each which I repaired and have used that way. If you would like those to go with the other set of four, I would be happy to give them to you. BUT if you do not want them, you do not need to feel that you HAVE to take them to make me happy. I was just going to give them to DI and I still can.

They are yours! Love, Mom


(Everybody in the family got two sets. Some just weren't too excited about it. Julie, for example, thought she would probably never use them. But Jim said to take two. When I got down to counting the number of sets I actually had, there were 18. Kirsten and your Amy wanted three. Then in addition to the 18, there were the 10 cups and plates that were not all  matched. So I will make certain you get them. There is still the one perfect set that will match the others that you have in addition to the others. You will have plates and cups out the ying-yang.)

Love, Mom

Mom: It really is yin-yang. I spelled it wrong. That is the erroneous spelling of yin yang or yin-yang, which is an ancient Chinese concept and symbol referring to complementary opposites, such as light/dark. It can mean from one  end to the other.
