Neglected

Dear daughters,

I know I send weird emails (though I was sure you would be fascinated to know that Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead (who, as you know, wrote the score for There Will Be Blood) was a fan of the 20th century composer Olivier Messiaen, who wrote one of my favorite pieces, The Quartet for the End of Time).

Maybe you could create a standard reply that you could just paste in!

"Dear Dad,

"Your email about [subject] was very interesting. The part about [select word or concept at random] really made me [think/laugh/cry/puke].

"Thanks for sending it!

"Your loving daughter, [insert your name here]"

Dear Dad, Your email about...just kidding!
Honestly, at least in my case (I can't speak for Emily), you should be thrilled that I've stopped responding to what I'm sure are extremely interesting emails. See, if I'm on my computer, I'm probably in class (like I am now) and if I'm responding to your email, I'm probably not taking notes (like I'm not right now).

Therefore, the fewer responses you receive from me, the better I'm doing in school (which is important to you because you're paying for it).

Now, I'm not sure if that argument is sound and valid because I'm tuning out my logic professor to type this.
