|French Thieves.|

I do not mind that it takes as much as a month for a letter to arrive.

I do not mind that it costs over a dollar to mail a postcard to the States.

My friend's mother sent me a tiny little package, with loose, wonderfully scented tea, sleeves to brew it in, and a letter that congratulates me on my law school successes and says, "Take the money and celebrate." I emailed my friend and asked her if her mother was referencing the full-ride offer from Wisconsin that I'd told my friend about or perhaps money her mother'd sent me to fêter my good fortune that was not in the padded envelope. She emailed her mother, her mother emailed her back and my friend informed me that, yes, her mother had sent money. She does this with her own kids now and then like, "Here's $40 for being super. Why don't you and a friend go to dinner and a movie." Her parents are by no means loaded, but they are good parents who understand the importance of positive reinforcement.

I do not mind that the French routinely open packages.

I do, however, mind that they STOLE the money that was sent to me out of my package.
