Dear States,

THIS IS IMPORTANT! I know we have all been busy with the oil spill and other things but I feel we don't spend enough time as a family. So as the heroic dad that I am I have decided we are going to spend one week together as a family. You have five days to pack and meet me at the main house.

I can't wait to see you all. (THIS IS MANDATORY, SO NO SKIPPING OUT.)

Love,

Dad

P.S. There will be hamburgers ^_^

Alfred sent the email, he knew he wouldn't have to wait long for the replies. Most would be protest. He didn't get to see his states that much and when he did he normally saw them one at a time. There were several occasions when he got to see all fifty at once like his birthday or Christmas. Some of his states on the other hand felt they saw too much of each other. Even though Alfred only saw them several times a year they had to see each other once or twice a month for meetings. Not to mention a fight broke out at almost every meeting and they barley ever got any thing done. Just the more reason to get together, and who knows maybe by the end of the week every one would finally get along. He could only hope.
