So... a friend and I had this text chat:
Her: You guys want to come to dinner?
Me: What time?
Her: Four - the Jay's are coming too
Me: Sounds like fun - let me check with the hubby
Her: Cool - the pool is still open too
Me; Nice!
One hour later....
Me: You will have to count us out - plumbing burst must work to seal before tonight
Two hours later...
Her: I heard there might be tension between you guys. So sorry!
6 seconds later.... I burst in on the plumbing scene and ask my husband if there is something I need to know about. I show him her text. We spend five minutes trying to figure out who is mad with who as it is clearly not one of us. We decide she must have texted the wrong person.
6 minutes later...
Me: I have to ask. What did you hear?
Her: That Mr. Jay didn't get your electric done in time so you might be mad at him.
OMGOODNESS!!!! At him - for the love of Pete!!!! I immediately called her and told her that my husband and I (who are celebrating our 19th Anniversary in a week) were very confused and relieved to find out that we should make that milestone without any undo tension.
She promised to use proper nouns and ease up on the pronouns in the future. HA!
