Receiving Letters and Packages in the Mail

Celeste: Did the mail come?

Anwar: Yes, you got some Letters and a Package.

Celeste: Oh, I hope that one of those Envelopes has the photos Naomi promised us. Did you notice the Postmark?

Anwar: No, but they’re sitting in the hall.

Celeste: Those photos are Overdue and should have been Delivered days ago. Naomi thought she might not have put enough Postage on the envelope, but I thought it must have been Misdelivered.

Anwar: You can look at it yourself. The package you received was sent using Overnight delivery.

Celeste: I wonder who sent it and why they sent it using Expedited service.

Anwar: I don’t know. Why don’t you go look?

Celeste: I wonder if there’s anything Perishable in it or that’s Time-sensitive in some way.

Anwar: I have no idea. There’s also a letter that’s been Forwarded from our old address that has Delivery confirmation.

Celeste: Oh, I wonder what that could be.

Anwar: You know what?

Celeste: What?

Anwar: All of those Mysteries can be solved if you just go and open your mail.

Celeste: I know, but isn’t it more fun To speculate?
