iTouch, he he he

I started blogging this post from an iPod touch. Oh la la.

Soon Aemelia is about to be the proud owner one of these hot pieces of metal.

Funny thing. I didn't realize the official name of the device was an iPod Touch. I thought it was simply called the "iTouch." So in conversation, I start talking about iTouch this and iTouch that. My friends thought I was some kind of weirdo creep talking about how I like to touch things. Nooooo. An iPod. Really that's what I meant.

Now the jokes never stop. iTouch.


Good thing Apple saw the futility in potentially naming their product that. The puns would get out of hand in about, oh, one minute.

Don't Be a Sucker Today

Yeah, today is April Fool's Day.
Don't let anyone play any nasty tricks on you!

I remember circling April first on my calendar when I was younger so that I could beware. I grew up with two older sisters.

One year I put Tabasco sauce in my mother's Burger King cup that was in the fridge. Then, about an hour later the guilt caught up with me so I dumped out the soda in the sink. I popped open a new Coke can and dumped the thing into my mother's cup and replaced it in the fridge.

The next day my mother told me that when she took a drink of her soda she about died. Her mouth was on fire. Apparently, a few drops of hot sauce is really potent, and rinsing the cup does not help. I don't think she believed that I had tried to not trick her. I still kind of feel bad for that. I don't play April Fool's jokes anymore.
