215 A Sample of DNA DNA試樣
Out of the Navy and ready to buy my own home, I filled out the veterans loan forms and mailed them away. But what I didn't realize was that I had placed the forms in the envelope containing a lock of hair from my son's first haircut. Two weeks later I received this note: “Enclosed is your loan certificate. Regardless of what you were told, we really don't need a sample of your DNA.”
我離開了海軍,準(zhǔn)備買自己的房子,就填了一份老兵貸款申請表寄了去。但是,我沒有注意到我用的這個信封里裝有一縷我兒子第一次剪下來的頭發(fā)。兩個星期以后,我收到一份通知:“隨信附上你的貸款證書。不論別人怎樣告訴你,我們實在不需要你的DNA試樣。”
