Meryl's Notes Blog

I had a most fun instant messaging chat with Ben on Thursday and could barely tear myself away to perform parental duties. Accidentally, we got into a (as Ben put it) “stream of consciousness game” and kept at it for most of the 2 1/2 hours we chatted.

Why do I mean by “accidentally?” The conversation:

Ben: BRB (Be right back) Ben: back Meryl: front persist1: side Meryl: hide

And off we went. I committed a big malaprop, which could be misconstrued for a Freudian slip. I promise it was not that at all! It was embarrassing enough. You really want to know what I did? Oh boy… here’s your laugh for the day (edited for brevity):

persist1: lucid Meryl: penis persist1: LOL (laughs out loud) persist1: [connection please] (in other words, what the heck does penis have to do with lucid?) Meryl: [oops. i mixed it up with another word] Meryl: [flaccid is the word i was thinking] Meryl: [i guess I was having a malaprop moment] persist1: [!] persist1: [Sounds like you really need to talk with yer man] Meryl: [that was no freudian slip!]

Ah, just to have an old-fashioned good time and laugh.
