Knock, knock, knock "Penny"; knock, knock, knock "Penny"; knock, knock, knock "Penny",
"Good evening Sheldon."
"How are you feeling Penny?"
"I'm getting there, my shoulder is still sore."
"Just to remind you that Leonard and I are off to a science conference next Monday, we get back on Friday. 4 days in Seattle."
"Have a good trip, I am off to do a bad job of serving food to people."
Half an hour later Penny arrived at the Cheesecake Factory thinking to herself "do I really want to do this?"

Sunday evening Penny was close to tears when she got home after an awful day of waitressing, her shoulder made it difficult to carry food at the end of the day.
She decided to call her parents.
"Hello Daddy"
"Hello slugger. How is your shoulder?"
"It is still sore, life is not good at the moment."
"It would be great if you could home for a visit, we miss you."

Monday morning. Sheldon broke the world record for fast knocking on Penny's door.
"Bye Penny, Leonard overslept so we have to dash to the airport."

Tuesday lunchtime Penny got home from the lunchtime shift at the Cheesecake Factory in tears. She got on the phone to Nebraska
"Hello Daddy, I want to come home."
"That's good news slugger, it will be great for you to come and visit."
"No Daddy, I want to come home for good. I have had enough of California."
"OK, Penny, start packing. I should be there by tomorrow afternoon."
By Wednesday evening Penny's father and brother had got all of Penny's stuff into the rental moving van.
Penny had one last look around the apartment and left the three letters on the kitchen table.
"OK Daddy, let's get back to Nebraska."
