Mom: Guess how your dad fixed the TV while I was out of town this weekend.
Me: He bought a new one.
Mom: Predictable, isn’t he?
Me: I CALL THE OLD ONE! Predictable aren’t I?
Mom: I thought you might. Wait to see if he gets the old one fixed.
Me: Why is he getting it fixed if he bought a new one?
Mom: Sweetie. I mean really. It may have something to do with the mating call of the sonybird and the samsung warbler…sort of like the automotiveology religion. Your dad worships at many alters, many of them being electronic.

You have the greatest mom, EVER! I hope I can be so pragmatic after another 10 years with my own electronic apostle. If you would like to give me your mom I would gladly hand over mine!

Very funny but the inner English teacher in me cringed at the mis-use of “alter”. It’s altAr. Sorry… couldn’t help myself. Still, a most hilarious message!

This is great and sounds like something off a sitcom. Love this mom!

Ahh… the men who worship at the electronic altar and the women who love them… My husband has a HUGE wish list and I swear the Best Buy guys know him by name!

We went into Future Shop to buy blank CDs and came out with a 52″ big screen TV, surroundsound system and new DVD player. Move over Scientology…we have a new cult, the Electronix worshippers!!

To Christie: being the spelling-bee-winning-fanatic of 4th grade, I must let you know that in the original transmit of the aforementioned text conversation the word “altar” was correctly spelled. My children love me because I did not force my fanaticisms on them, hence the misspelled, transcribed word.

Dearest Electronic Wife,
I hope you enjoyed your 10 seconds of anonymous fame for if you are going to complain you will get no more postcards out of me.
Love,
Your Electronic Daugher
