Aden and I had a wonderful weekend at Karen's enjoying unseasonably warm weather, good food and lovely sunsets. We watched both Mary Poppins and Saving Mr. Banks (about the making of Mary Poppins) discussed JK Rowling's best characters, and enjoyed a correspondence with our youngest brother, James, who now lives in Petaluma. Our texting with James began during Saturday night's dinner prep of stuffed peppers when Aden was sedately reading in the other room. I've included choice comments and amusing asides below:
James: "What are you guys up to tonight?"
Laura and Karen giggling - 'what should we say?' 'Just the usual / just the yooj - hey how do you spell yooj, anyway?' Karen picks up her phone to find the correct spelling at urbandictionary.com while Laura types in the completely untrue yet snort-inducing message:
L / K: "Ordered some male dancers in for Aden; our little girl is all grown up :-). JK, just the uge: chocolate binges, shared Harry Potter dorkdom, a Mary Poppins marathon."
Karen says, 'no, no, not uge - the spellling is yooj or usge to be closer to the original "usual."
James: "We are doing the exact same thing! Male dancers but minus the potter poppins 'thon."
L/K: "Thong?! B****, if there is a Potter / Poppins thong I . . .Want . . .It!"
L/K: "That was Karen . . . ."
James: "I knew it, pirate mouth"
L/K: "Did you auto correct potty mouth? Or is that the name of one of your dancers?
James: "totally on purpose - pirates speak RRRRR - rated."
L/K: On the floor laughing, manage to type in "Touche."
If the spontaneous ribaldry above does not tickle your funny bone, I strongly suggest you hit up Urban dictionary and look up the word of the day. Today's is "Effective Monday" which means the start of a work week on any day except for Monday, usually due to a holiday like today. Tomorrow is our "effective Monday," and I hope it's a good one for all.
