*239 - name dropping

Dinnertime drama today. Well, not that anything happened in the family, but Daddy recounted a funny little story to us. Let's try to keep it nice and vague.

- Girl writes to Daddy to complain about something, brings boyfriend into picture, says they are related to such-and-such bigshots.
- Daddy does some investigating, finds contacts of boyfriend's father and bigshots, replies politely and forwards to everyone.
- Girl is furious and sends a series of threatening emails.
- Mentioned bigshots reply to say they are unrelated to girl/boyfriend.
- Girl has been silent since then. And very kindly, so has Daddy.

There are a whole lot more little amusing bits that I shan't mention but the moral is: never name drop to get your way, especially if you made it all up. And don't praypray with my Daddy. Hehehe. Ok don't worry he's nice I like him very much (:
