Below is an excerpt from a high school graduation card that I received from my beloved Aunt Sandy. This would have been almost 12 years ago:
Dearest Casey,
I can't believe you're graduating from high school, it seems only yesterday you wouldn't let me put the cows in the car because, as you said, "They will shit in the backseat."
I'd like to acknowledge my father's role in the creation of that particular statement.
