Most parents send care mails(包裹) and gifts to their children when they're away at university.Teri Cox, from Maryland, isn't one of those 1 ,
Teri's son, 18-year-old Connor, is now away at a University in Germany. A few weeks ago, Terri sent her son a mail. When Connor first 2 it, he thought it was a normal gift filled with some necessary things."I was 3 , because it's like Christmas when you get mail from your family in college,"he said.
However, when Connor opened the mail, the things inside were quite different from what he had 4 . It wasn't a care mail or a gift at all. It was 5 he left at home while he was on the Christmas holiday — his rubbish. The box was full of 6 things— everything he was too 7 to take out over Christmas.
In fact, Connor failed to do all of his 8 at home. So his mom got the 9 to teach him.Connor didn't understand why his mom did this to him 10 he gave her a call."She isn't usually strict, and I don't regard this as a big punishment(惩罚). She just wanted to 11 me of my duties. And we had a good laugh 12 the phone." he added, "What's 13 important to me is that I have realized I'm no longer a young kid and I shouldn't 14 my parents too much."
Is that the end ing of the story? Of course not. Later, Connor said that the rubbish in the mail box was 15 a part of that in his room.
Where was the rest? In his bedroom drawers. Considering what'll happen to rubbish for a long time. Let's hope Teri could find it fast.
