  Call a family meeting to inform your parents, in a frank and open way, that you're adopted.
• March 20 - A thrifty tip for this day: Start saving your dandruff in a Mason jar to sprinkle under the tree next Christmas. This will not only eliminate your annual expense for artificial snow, but also will save you the cash normally squandered on shampoo throughout the year.
