The Lass Joins the Digital World

I’d setup the boy with an email account about 18 months ago. The lass is a bit younger at this stage, but just as eager. Being the only one in the family who doesn’t have an email account was, no doubt, weighing heavily on her little mind. With the Wife gone for a couple days, the lass wanted to be able to send Mom an email. So I set her up with her own account.

My first email to her was:

Did you have a good day at school?

Dad

And here was her response:

yes I did have a good time at school.

Of course, what you guys can’t know (until now that is) is that I was there helping her spell out her little message back to me. That took a little of the thrill away from me, personally. Her- not so much.

I’ll also not that she’s probably going to be a font snob. She complained that the ‘I’ looked like a little ‘l’ and then mistook another ‘l’ in a different font for the number ‘1’. She thought that was “stupid.”

There’s just no pleasing her sometimes.

UPDATE: Should’ve guessed this- another thing about her email is the unusual formatting, which should be better preserved here:

yes     I   did    have  a  good   time    at  school.
