Halloween Brings Mail, Sealed With Tape

Halloween has brought a rash of Halloween cards and packages to the bambini.  Things have arrived from Grandma Connie and Grandpa Charles; Aunt Kate, Uncle Scott, and Cousin Nick; Great Great Aunt Shirley; Great Great Aunt Susie; and Grandpa Tom and Lynn.  Today, Joe and Clara both got cards from Grandma Connie and Grandpa Charles.  These cards were the kind that play music (or spooky laughter) when they are opened.  The bambini love getting these kinds of cards from their Grandparents Trump.  Now, this kind of card is a little fatter than your usual card.  Julie chuckled to herself when Joe approached her with his card tonight and said he needed some help opening it because it had tape on it.  Julie shared with him that Grandma Connie was a huge fan of tape (and staples, but Julie saved that for a later day).  Joe said, "Oh!  I didn't know that!" and Julie said, "Well, she is.  It's her tell."  You know, Joe's a big fan of tape, too.  So now he knows there's another one out there.  And she's a relation!

Keen-eyed observers will note the presence of additional packing tape on the envelope Clara is holding. There's no telling who these were from. . .or is there?  ( ;) I love you,  Momsie!)
