While I was hanging out with them, my grandpa started to read an ad to my grandma about a TV that was $199.99.

My grandmother lives in a different country, and wanted to send me an e-card for my birthday because sending a normal card was too expensive. When I received the card, I accidentally permanently deleted it because I thought it was spam, but didn’t have the heart to tell her. When I told her that I had not received the e-mail with the card in it, she replied “Well maybe it got stopped at the border.”
