My landlord recently upgraded my toilet.  When I told my dad this was going to happen his wish for me was that I receive a Toto Toilet, the best of the best.  A few hours later,  much to my surprise, I learn that I am getting a Toto!  I decided to share this with my parents who were in the car en route to Boca, naturally.  I texted my dad “I’m getting a Toto!”  He read it quickly, and mistakenly thought I wrote “I’m getting a tattoo.”  He relayed this distressing news to my mother.  This is the voicemail I received.

Dad: Lauren, NO! NO!

Mom: You wanna poison yourself? And I-

Dad: NO!

Mom: You could never be buried in a Jewish, uh, cemetery with a Tattoo.

Dad:  NO.       Mom: What are you outta your mind!?!?

I could not make this up.

Happy New Year everyone!!
