Laura... you won't believe it. I talked with my grandmother and... well, she says the gifts are perfect. She is VERY happy. She says she also thinks we need fun in our marriage. And that the singing fish reminds her of my grandfather because he always sang badly... Now I don't know what to do. She's so happy...
Laura

Son, I spoke with your Aunt Marta and she says that you are very young and modern, but that you also need practical things for the house. So I'm going to buy the boring things too. Don't worry. Your grandmother knows what she's doing. Fun gifts are good for the soul, but plates are for eating, eh? I love you very much. Regards to Laura. Goodbye!
Carlos
Laura
