30 cows and 40 goats? Surely I'm worth more than that.

Wow, Zo. Someone told me about that in the office before I ventured out to do other things, but I didn't really think it was true. Sounds like a good offer to me.

We'd have more than enough meat for burgers and steaks now, and I'm sure we can get someone to teach us how to do the goat cheese sort of thing.

Think of the good things about this.

[zee_triscuit]

How about Dad offers you rather than me? Since the price was a bit stingy...the granddaughter of the president is probably worth a bit less in dowry than me.

:-p

[us_feminist]

Nope. The granddaughter of the President has nothing to do with anything.

It's all about you, Zoey P. He has the thing for you.

I just got asked if you were looking into wedding dresses yet. Anything in particular you want me to say as smackdown, or can I just roll up my sleeves?

(It is kind of funny, really.)

[zee_triscuit]

Roll up your sleeves and have fun. Just keep me from sounding like a total bitch when you announce that it's a unconditional no. :)

(It really is, but having strange guys plead chastity unless they can have your hand is just a bit weird to deal with)

[settlingtheroom]

Oh, this'll be fun.

I think for you, Zoey, we should at least get something cool, like an elephant or a giraffe. We've already had goats here, we know how messy they are.

(Chastity is the ultimate compliment, really. Can I tell them you're flattered by the obsessive stalkerish nature of that?)

Stu Winkle called asking for your comment. I told him you were too busy pointing out the effect goats would have on the Rose Garden to your father to talk.

Hey, don't knock farm animals.

It's not like anyone else is about to go offering your father a dowry in this century. Might want to check in with him, make sure he knows dowry or no, you marry who you choose. ;-)

[zee_triscuit]

I think the evil twisted feminist in me is like, offended by the mere notion of a dowry.

It is an oddly sweet gesture in it's own weird way.

All I have to say is...wow. That's really funny. The President was sitting in the Oval and all I hear is "Charlie! Get Kenya on the phone!"

And you're worth at least 50 cows and 70 goats.

[zee_triscuit]

Thanks Charlie, really. :-P Glad to know I mean that much to you.

;-)

What? No partridge in a pear tree?

[zee_triscuit]

Yeah.. where's the 5 golden rings?

[ivyleaguelawboy]

I'd say the absence of the maids a-milking is the most conspicuous.
