Another Reason I Would Be A Terrible Housewife

I received this lovely note from ConEdison in the mail yesterday:

It only took two sinus infections and the guest room exploding out into the hallway for my parents to realize that the dungeon-like conditions they had subjected me to were unfair and unreasonable.
