THE WHAT????

A whole month since I've written in here. I can't believe I've procrastinated this long...well....yes I guess I can. It's just like me. I try to take life one day at a time but lately several days seem to attack at once.
So last week Alex and I decided to go to a movie. He wanted to see the Chronicles of Narnia...not really my kind of movie but I was happy to go with him. We invited Stormy to go with us but she had other plans and wasn't sure if she would be done in time. She asked me to call her when we knew what time we were going. So, on our way to the theatre I texted her and told her where and when and to join us if she could. Her text back to me said this, " I can't, I'm going to the".
That was it....so I figured that perhaps she hit send to soon before she finished her sentence..(I do that accidentally sometimes). So I texted her back and said..."to the what?". She wrote back and said, "to FHE...Shane thinks I'm inactive." (for anyone who doesnt know, FHE stands for Family Home Evening...it's an activity on Monday nights.) Anyhow...I wrote back and said, "why does he think you're inactive?". To which she replied, "because I told him I wasnt' going to the". Ok...I thought, what is the deal? so I texted back and said "It would be really nice if you would finish your sentences". As you can imagine I got a rather grumpy reply from her that said, "FHE Mom, it stands for Family Home Evening!!". Good grief, she didn't have to yell at me...she was the one not finishing her sentences. So I wrote back and said.."I know what FHE stands for but you didn't tell me that that's where you were going."
So...a short while later when Alex and I were seated in the theater I pulled out my phone to turn it off and I had a thought. So I looked at my inbox and re-read the texts that she had sent me....turns out what she said was, "I can't, I'm going to fhe." and the second time she said, "because I told him I wasn't going to fhe." Well guess what. I didn't have any glasses with me so I didn't realize it was an 'f'. I thought it was a 't' and said 'the'. UGH!!! I immediatly texted her and apologized for being stupid. She forgave me and then had a good laugh about with her friends.
NOTE TO SELF: Always have reading glasses in purse...eyes arent' what they used to be.
