My neice has grown-up

My niece has grown up. You know that they have gained the status of an adult when they 1) get a job, 2) moved away from home and, 3) start bringing food to the family potluck dinners.
My niece Karen graduated a few years ago and has moved to a foreign country (albeit, still part of the Commonwealth). She sharing details about her boyfriend Morty with us the other night. Some of the stuff was classified but what I can reveal about him without compromising Australian National Security are: 1) he is on a mission to get recipies from other countries for lemon meringe pie, 2) his code name is "Koala-bear", 3) he owns several trench coats, 4) he isn't licensed yet to carry a side arm, but carries a wisk instead, 5) he once served as a body guard for Olivia Newton-John, 6) my niece makes more money than he does, 7) his favorite movie?? "The Body Guard" staring Whitney Houston of course and, 8) being a spy, he's not allowed to have a cell phone.
