Lovergies texted me the hideous image of a wound on his forehead.
What’s the matter with you, why would you send me that? I whined.
He explained that he would do anything to make his two year old laugh and in this case it was showing her How To Swim Like a Blind Selkie. His two year old was particularly amused when her father crashed head-on into the pool’s concrete wall.
As a last resort, as many wounded do, he wondered if Mr. Right had any recommended prescriptions. Mr. Right did.
Days later Mr. Right wandered into the kitchen, “So did your brother ever text you back? Do you know how his head is doing?”
Nope.
“You probably didn’t even wonder.”
Not really. I assumed he’d call if there were still problems.
“Well, I’m going to ask him.” Mr. Right pulled out his phone.
Wait are you going to text him?
“Yeah…so?”
Honey, you are a brilliant man and doctor and I do not doubt your ability to text competently. (little lie.)
You are also almost a generation older than me as was exhibited by the fact that when we both wanted to show our children a favorite pop artist of our youth: I pulled out Billy Joel and you pulled out the Beatles.
All of this leaves me thinking, if you’d like I can text my brother in your behalf.
He was still trying to find the texting option on his phone.
“I’ll do it.” he growled and 5 minutes later he had hacked out a text to my brother.
how is ur head?
10 seconds later he received a reply:
He looked at it a minute. “I’m not sure…does he mean this is better? Or worse?”
It was a wordless image of Lovergies head wound.
We wondered what cryptic message was intended. It only then occurred to Mr. Right that it was 9:30pm PST for us…and it was 12:30pm EST for Lovergies.
Maybe you woke him up! I blamed.
“HA!!” Mr. Right laughed, “Maybe he woke up because of the phone and said, ‘Oh man…Mr. Right needs a picture of my head immediately!’”
We found it hysterically funny imagining Lovergies doing this in the middle of his night.
But still, it didn’t answer the question.
P.S.
Lovergies did sent me a picture of him all healed, but why would you want to see that?
I would show you the picture Lovergies sent me but its disgusting.
I would show you the picture Lovergies sent Mr. Right but Mr. Right can’t find it on his phone.
