Once upon a time, a hypothetical doofus blond mom stopped to pick up her mail on her way out to piano lessons. In the mailbox was a large envelope partially ripped open from the AF Academy. Inside was an Academy Catalog and an Academy Parent guide...no cover letter or explanation. Next to this large envelope was an official looking letter from the United States Military Academy.
This hypothetical mom, who must be blond, got all almost to the point of throwing up or hyperventilating excitedly happy and didn't read "military" on that return address just United States Academy thinking it must be a letter from the Air Force Academy with good news for her son..why else would they be getting a course catalog and Academy Parent guide.
Well hypothetical mom isn't as spacey as one would think, but is extremely nosy and resourceful enough that she did what any self-respecting Mom who thinks there must be momentous news in that letter would do...she held it up to the window. (She declined offers of a teakettle to steam it open though..she does have her limits!)
it was then that she noticed the "military" part of the return address and the West Point return address. The light bulb went off and this hypothetical mom realized her blondeness.
This make believe story does have a happy REAL ending though...inside that letter was a presidential nomination to West Point
