Should I Bring My Wife
SHOULD I BRING MY WIFE
Many years ago when I worked in customer service, and spoke on the phone for eight plus hours a day, the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was get back on the phone. So when my friends would say, "call me", that usually didn't happen. I was so happy when email evolved. In fact, my friends who don't have email, yes there are a few, I don't do a very good job of keeping up. When my friends started talking about texting, I remember thinking, I'm already as technical as I want to be, no texting for me. Well, times change, and I realized I needed to keep up or get left behind. After a year or so, my husband's old phone needed updating. I got the brilliant idea to give him my old phone and get a new one myself. Advancing another step, I was telling myself. My husband loves texting me. I get two or three from him everyday---sometimes when he is only one room away, telling me he's cold or needs a drink of water. I supposed because we are together a lot, and because we write notes to each other or text each other, our text messages have been reduced to a lot of short-hand. A few days ago, I decided to surprise him. I didn't think he had plans for lunch after his round of golf, so I sent him a text. It read something like this. "Showered, smell great, love you bunches, wanna do lunch?" I was surprised when I didn't hear from him right away. What I got was a text that said: "Didn't know you were dirty, never noticed a smell, would love lunch, should I bring my wife?" Oh my goodness. Note to self, when I'm texting my husband, make sure no one else is trying to send me a text. Better still read the name to make sure you are texting your own husband.

Sweet article....You have such a sunny outlook....I will never be able to text with my arthritic fingers, but I can surely e-mail.
Oops. So did it end up being a double date? :)
True.
Oops. Good to double check these things :-).
You are too funny! This is one reason why I write notes and leave them on the counter instead of texting! cheers :)
Too funny, Kat!
