my measly mistake was needed
I made a measly mistake today
the family communal text site blew up
I had typed in
you will have three presents today
all three daughters claimed they had received presents from me
with a note that said “you are my favorite”
It got wilder and crazier before I saw the sixteen texts
they had sent back and forth claiming favoritism for themselves
I typed this back “you are all knuckleheads. This text was
for my friend Marianne who has a birthday, not you goofballs”.
I included a farting elephant for good measure.
I do believe my mistake gave my daughters the
most fun they have had in a long time
