I was leaving the house this morning when I received a text. I didn't know the number, and the text said, "Hello my beautiful wife..." and went on to say that she didn't seem to know who he was. I texted back that apparently he didn't know his wife's number, because he had reached a wrong number. He immediately responded with an embarrassed apology about a new phone and obviously he had her number in it wrong, and I said no problem. But then I thought how REALLY AWKWARD it would have been if he hadn't sent a warm and affectionate and totally G-rated greeting but something perhaps more explicit, or worse, a graphic reminder of who he was? Fortunately, he didn't do that but people do, and damn, why does anybody ever think it's a good idea to do anything sexy via a text message? All it takes is a fumble-finger of your contact list and you just sent it to your boss or your grandma.
The other funny of the day was that one of the local news channels was still running a banner about the FLORIDA FREEZE!!! AIEEEE! when the temp was back up in the 50s. We had our freeze. Stand down from Winter Hat Alert. Sheesh.
