What Does URL Stand For?

Tonight, at my house:

Erin: Shane, can I start a blog that makes fun of you?
Shane: No!
Erin: But how would you even know if I did?
Shane: Fine, go ahead.
Erin: But HOW would you even know if I did? Do you know what a blog is?
Shane: Yes.
Erin: What is it?
Shane: It's a web blog.
Erin: You just defined the word with the word. What's a blog?
Shane: It has a theme. It's a webpage!
Erin: It's a webpage? Really?
Shane: It's a diary of your lameness.
Erin: Have you read my blog?
Shane: You have a blog!?
Leah, who is visiting: Where do you think she met all of her friends?
Shane: Email? Do they all have blogs, too, or something? Do you have a blog, Leah?
Erin: QUALITY.
Leah: I don't really have much interesting to talk about.
Shane: Well, I KNOW Erin doesn't.

Check back for more stories about life with my husband, who is truly an 82 year old man trapped in a 36 year old's body. I'd tell you more right now, but I need to teach him how to use a calculator and a phone that ISN'T rotary dial. Stories might include Shane's ongoing confusion with WiFi (is it a kind of coffee or isn't it?), how he recently discovered this amazing new website called EBay, and the time that I accidentally had a baby on the stairs and he didn't notify anyone because he couldn't figure out how to work my iPhone (or as he calls it, "The magic box").

  6. :) - I know I hijack your blog with: one time i told the mr. that the wifi on his iphone (he does have that over Shane) wasn't working and he said "What's wifi?" And I told him it was how he got on the internet, and he said he could still get on the internet on his phone and I said that was through 3G, and he said "What is 3G?" And I said he wasn't allowed to have and iphone anymore.

  9. Omigosh! I so can't wait because it's starting out so FUNNY! (I'm trying not to think about the fact that I don't know the difference between internet and 3G) Maybe I'll learn and if not, I can still laugh. lol (at least I know what lol means so I've got that going for me, right?)
