Scene: The kids and I are driving somewhere in my car when a text message comes in on my phone, which is in my purse, in backseat with the kids.
“Julia, can you reach my purse?” I ask. She says yes, so I ask her to get my cell phone and tell me who the message is from.
I hear her fumbling around in my purse. “I’ve got it,” she announces triumphantly.
“Can you read who the message is from?”
“Sure,” she says. “St…st-uh…stud…stud-lee? Studly?”
From front seat, I roll my eyes and shift in to third.
“Studly, Mummy,” she shouts. “It’s from Studly. Studly!”
I nod. “Yup, okay. Thanks.”
There is a pause. Then, “Do you know who that is?”
I nod again. “I do, indeed.”
“Who is it?”
“That’s Daddy, honey,” I say with a sigh.
There is another pause, and I brace myself for the question that I know my daughter will ask next:
“Mum? What’s studly mean?”
End scene.

Bwahahahaha! Paul makes me erase my messages from him before my daughter visits. He’s got this weird idea she reads all my text. (Hugs)Indigo

That gives me a great idea … Where’s my husband’s phone?

At least he programmed a g-rated moniker. You ended on a cliffhanger!

Could have been worse, couldn’t it have? I mean, he was literal and all, wasn’t he? Sharing the truth and all.

And that is why I can’t program my ex-husband’s name as what I call him in my mind. Darnit.

Hmmm…obviously Dave has no self esteem issues to worry about! That’s so funny, but I still want to know how you responded!

I’d say you got off easy here. At least there is never a dull moment.

Wonder if your explanation was any better than my mother’s answer when my sister asked what a virgin was.

I think the only worse thing is when your 17 and 13 year old boys program your phone…
