...and it is the source of endless amusement to me (and the rest of my family). In any e-mail she sends any of us, she inevitably includes several typos, and since the e-mails to us don't have to be perfect, she doesn't proofread them. For instance, last year she traveled to Korea for work and when she got there, she sent us an e-mail to let us know she had arrived safely. The e-mail described her flight, the weather, and how tired she was. It was short, and at the end she meant to type, "Just wanted to say hello," but instead typed, "Just wanted to say hell."
So on Saturday morning, I was out on the water with the kids in Florida and one of their boats flipped over. With kids in it. This is needless to say always a scary moment, but luckily the flip happened in very shallow water, and after the kids got out of the boat, they were all able to stand instead of tread water until I could get them into my coach's launch. Unfortunately, flipping in shallow water also led to the boat sustaining some fairly serious damage; it is unusable until we can get it fixed, and that will cost a lot of money. I posted about the newly broken boat on my Facebook status, and my mom immediately asked for more details, which I gave her.
The delightful part of the the story is that I just checked my e-mail and saw one from my mom, in which the final line is, "Sorry about your boar."
Ha! I love my mother.
