Transmissions with Dad

By alexreinhard

-The only emails I have posted so far have resulted from correspondences with my mom.  I am going to break with this tradition and post the latest email from my dad as follows:

Dear Alex:
 

Guess what?  It is Christmas again.
 
You have been a good boy … as usual?. Senta has been a good dog. 
 
But will you guys make the next round? Talk to you soon.
 
I love you my son,
 
Dad
- The first thing I have to say is… WTF does “But will you guys make the next round?” mean?!? 
This to me sounds like some evil boss in a video game.  Like Senta and I just kicked some major ass on the streets…. we     thought it was over only to realize it was only the end of the first round. The second round will be 6 times more difficult (2 times more enemies, enemies are 2 times as large, and we are 2 times as weak as when we started). Probably one of us will not make it.
-Second, this sounds like a drunk email. Who says “I love you my son”? Only feudal lords or drunk dads. “You have been a good boy… as usual?.” The structure of this sentence oozes drunk as well.
-Finally… do you understand why I was destined to be insane?
