Smarties, Anyone?

I really don't think I say this enough: I'm ridiculously fortunate to have the parents that I have. Don't get me wrong, we do have our moments. However, they love me more than I could ever imagined being loved by parents. Today, I got a package filled to the top with Smarties. It was hilarious, just the thing that I needed to make me genuinely laugh. Why Smarties? Smarties for the smarty of course! I've been feeling a wee bit inadequate in grad school lately, so my parents were sending me bits of encouragement. Aren't they brilliant? I love it. I just don't know what I'm going to do with all those Smarties. I guess they'll be my afternoon pick me ups.
