What About BOB??

So what about Bob? Well, first off he’s an absolutely amazing man. However, considering the gaggle of people that waddle their way over to my blog from time to time, I doubt this is news. Bob is also a pretty understanding guy, in addition to being insightful and witty. Even though this isn’t much news to anyone you’re probably wondering where the heck I’m coming from with this.

It all started the other day when Little Miss Sunshine (Kate) sent me an email entitled “Why I Love My Step dad.” I read through Bob’s prose on the flat tire incident and found him to be very witty (as mentioned above). I then foolishly decided to try my hand at said wit and wisdom myself, and started to compose an email of similar folly to Miss Sunshine. Letter typed and SEND; she’s got mail. And there began my trip down foolishness lane.

You see, I didn’t check the “TO:” section of my composition. That’s right, it didn’t go to my intended target, but rather to BOB!! Yep, I sent my reply to Kate to Bob instead. He, of course, read it and replied to her in kind. It would seem he thought it to be funny, and witty (a bit), and got a good laugh out of it. I, on the other hand, nearly fell out of my chair when I found out it didn’t go to the right person. I was suddenly trying to remember what it was that I had typed, and wanted nothing more than to have access to my email right there in the middle of rehearsal. I just knew that I had said something completely inappropriate for the unintended target, and that I was going to be cast out of the picture before I was even allowed to hold the camera. But I had typed a decent email, and all is well that ends well I guess. I was also fortunate enough to have sucked up to Bob without knowing that’s what I was doing. I put in a little line about how great of a guy he is, and he liked that.

Moral of the story kids: know EXACTLY whom you’re sending your emails too. Check it twice!
