Preface: For those that don’t know me, I am from Boston. That’s where i spent my entire childhood and college years. My “alleged” parents still live there.

I receive this email last night:

Hey there Sarah
Some times things work in funny ways…I have been so into your mag and mass appeal mag. I have a small underground mag called EXACTLY. Anyway, I was at a bbq today in bk and I was chillin with the most amazing couple!
….And apparently I was hangin with your dad and mom…..btw he has the bestmusic selection EVER! So I got into chatin with him and I was like yeah i have a mag and blah blah and then he said you were his daughter…I kinda flipped. I have wanted to interview you! So let me know your thoughts on the idea? I want to do a piece on your trials and tribulations of doing what you do.
You are a major inspiration in who we are and we look up to you, so it was kinda funny that I was hangin with your parents…I love them. anyway, I hope that you wanna do the piece.
Let me know!

????????Logically I forward this email to my mom and this is the conversation that resulted:

Me-OMG these people are like Bernadette Peters and that dude from Rocky Horror in Annie, right?
Mom-LOL
Me-This is so weird. I am so confused.
Mom-Oh I didn’t tell you. Dad was in Brooklyn yesterday with the woman he is having the affair with. It was probably him and his mistress.
Me-What? Really?
Mom-Sarah, I was kidding.
Me-Oh.
