** I HAVE A PLAN TO SAVE THE POST OFFICE **

YOUNG PEOPLE: Call your grandparents and ask if they got the card you sent.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT SEND A CARD.

When they say no, you sound very sad. "Oh, that's too bad. I heard that Trump was really underfunding the post office."

You want to see how fast Congress and the White House are bombarded with calls to fix the Post Office?

Let them deal with a nation full of old people who think they missed some mail.

This is especially important if your grandparents are Republican voters and/or live in a red state.

PARENTS: Your script is "Hi Mom/Dad, did you get the drawings I mailed you from the kids? No? Well, hopefully they arrive soon!"

I realize the flaw in this plan is that I'm asking young people to make *a phone call.*

YOUNG PEOPLE: There is an app that will allow you to speak, voice-to-voice, with other humans. You'll need to request the ten-digit code assigned to them. Probably your parents know.

OMG I can't believe I didn't think of this.

POPPA AND NONNIE: This is your assignment. https://twitter.com/mdecae/status/1293333173053653000

...and for those of you HORRIFIED that I would suggest deceiving your grandparents, I'm very sorry for suggesting a Noble Lie. Feel free to send them an actual card, odds are they won't get it anyway.
