FloridaLisa Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I was going through e-mails this evening -- replying, deleting, noting dates on my calendar. I opened an e-mail from the director of admissions at Wake Forest urging ds1 to apply through a direct application. I *thought* I was forwarding the e-mail to ds1 BUT . . . I hit reply! To the director of admissions. This was my message to my ds: Do you want to apply for fun? You never know what God has planned for you. Mom *FOR FUN?* :eek: :o: Ds has the 100% Bright Futures scholarship, so he's looking seriously at Florida schools. What I meant was that it might be fun to see if he gets admitted and what money is available! As in exciting fun. :D Note to self: do not be so quick in responding to e-mail!

Maryalice Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I wouldn't worry. It goes to a secretary. I've done WAY worse and survived. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 This is one of those moments where my boys would say, "Uh-oh is right, but this is no time for Spaghetti-O's!" :willy_nilly: If it makes you feel any better, I have friends who work in admissions, and they tell all kinds of horror stories (moms calling pretending to be their children, etc.), and this is fairly mild, compared to what they see on a shockingly regular basis!

FloridaLisa Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 You know, as I hit send I just glimpsed the admissions e-mail, but it was too late! I did send another sweet, succinct reply apologizing. :tongue_smilie: Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 One day, my hsuband and I were playing back in forth in e-mail. He e-mailed me and said that he would be late coming home. I wrote back, "turd." He responded, "not a turd." Only he didn't send it to ME...he sent it to the legal team at his work. See, apparently, he had been discussing a deposition with the legal team. The conversation with the head legal dept lady went something like this: dh: can we meet tomorrow to look over this deposition? legal dept lady: Sure, noon is good for me. dh: Not a turd. I still laugh when I think of this. Dh was distruaght (LOL) which made it even more amusing. He called the woman the next day and told her that he was sorry - he was having a conversation with his wife and accidentally sent the message to her instead. Her response: "Oh, okay. I was wondering why you were suddenly discussing your BOWEL HABITS with me." :001_huh: :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 One day, my husband and I were playing back in forth in e-mail. He e-mailed me and said that he would be late coming home. I wrote back, "turd." He responded, "not a turd." Good grief, I just about choked laughing now (it doesn't help to have a cold)! My daughter was the recipient of an email intended for someone else. She had sent a query to a college's summer program and the recipient had clearly intended to forward it but must have hit reply. I've inadvertently done the same thing a time to ten. It always leads to that Egads! feeling. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I agree that the admissions secretary has probably seen worse. Once my dh, who was over the pastoral network of our church (around 2000 people), tried to send an email to another pastor with sensitive information about someone in the church who needed this pastor's attention. He accidentally sent it to THE WHOLE CHURCH. He was frantically trying to stop it, unplugging his computer, etc., but it was too late.

Tree House Academy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 :smilielol5: I am laughing so hard it is splitting my sides open. LOL :smilielol5: We joked that he should call her and tell her that "Not a turd" was the new slang for "not a problem" or the equivalent to "okey doke." But the icing on the cake was when she mentioned his bowel habits! LOL How exactly would that conversation go? Me: Honey, have you gone poo today? Him: Kind-of Me: What do you mean, kind of? Him: Well, it just wasn't quite right? Me: Why honey, if it was a turd, then you went poo.

Tree House Academy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 LOL - glad you could get a laugh too. If you know how quiet and shy my dh is and how mortified he was, it would make it even more amusing. Oops. Did I say that? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanchGirl Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) still laughing here..... I pictured it as you were talking to your husband, he informed you he was going to go "do some business", then he had to report back in regarding said business. As in "well sadly, it was not a turd afterall". It only makes it funnier that your husband is reserved at the office.... I can't stop laughing!
