Receiving Letters and Packages in the Mail
Celeste: Did the mail come?
Anwar: Yes, you got some letters and a package.
Celeste: Oh, I hope that one of those envelopes has the photos Naomi promised us. Did you notice the postmark?
Anwar: No, but they’re sitting in the hall.
Celeste: Those photos are overdue 1 and should have been delivered days ago. Naomi thought she might not have put enough postage on the envelope, but I thought it must have been misdelivered.
Anwar: You can look at it yourself. The package you received was sent using overnight delivery.
Celeste: I wonder who sent it and why they sent it using expedited service.
Anwar: I don’t know. Why don’t you go look?
Celeste: I wonder if there’s anything perishable 2 in it or that’s time- sensitive in some way.
Anwar: I have no idea. There’s also a letter that’s been forwarded from our old address that has delivery confirmation 3.
Celeste: Oh, I wonder what that could be.
Anwar: You know what?
Celeste: What?
Anwar: All of those mysteries can be solved if you just go and open your mail.
Celeste: I know, but isn’t it more fun to speculate?
