An Open Letter To The Chan Brothers From High School

Wednesday, June 24, 2015

Dear Chan Brothers From High School,

I just want you to know that I don't hold any ill will towards you even though I was always being compared to you. Sure we didn't know each other that well, a smile here, a hello there, passing each other on the way to separate classes - your's prepping you for surgery, orthopedist, orthodontist - mine for a general liberal arts degree. Since my mom was a dental assistant where apparently some kids went including you and your mom (lucky me) I could always count on hearing what the latest was from the Chan family and how come I couldn't be more like one of you two. Straight A's. Nice Asian girlfriends. Headed to the Ivy's or some prestigious colleges where afterwards you'd get $PAID$. In band, etc., etc., et al.

*Historical Sigh From Back In The Day*

I mean I get it. You gotta get it done.

I crack the whip now too.

But back in the day...you know...I was happy with my B average, getting out of state, and going to a school with reciprocity where my loans wouldn't be too much.

It was too early in time for the reference but there was a little brushing, a little dusting, and you know, the shoulder was good then.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know what I was up to and seriously - no hard feelings - I did okay...

Since...

I heard you didn't make it into med school and your brother wimped out too and couldn't hack it and got a nasty meth habit and started turning trix while he was still in college!

Holy Fuck!!!

That's Awesome!!!!!!

Winner!!!!!!

LOSER!!!!!!

...

Sorry...take a breath Adam....

...

So that's not entirely true...I actually don't know what happened to you...

But that was fun for me?

Sincerely,
Adam I Hope You Really Don't Have A Meth Habit Chau AKA I'm The Real Mrs. Chan
