happy birthday mom

I love my mother. And yesterday was her birthday.

so to celebrate, I'm sharing this fantastic story about her for all the naked apes out there.


In this story, my brother, mother and I are mulling around our living room.

We are chatting about our days and traveling between couches and kitchen counters as we do so. Whoever said talking and eating don't go together, really missed out on some immediate joys.

Derek [my brother] makes a reference to something I don't recall seeing, I voice my confusion, he see's my mother has a laptop precariously positioned on her lap, and he immediately asks her to bring up a new page.
Direct it to youtube.com.
And allow him to show me what he was talking about.

She does so, the page pops up, and the next thing I know her 'appalled voice' goes "agh!" and starts voicing her disgust with youtube.

~mom~
"This happens to me every time! Whenever I go here, there are naked women posted everywhere! How can you guys use this cite?!"

~derek and I~ exchange confused looks

~derek~
"What are you talking about?"

~mom~
"When you pull up youtube, do you see women with....NOTHING on, posted on the screen?!"

~derek~
"....I have my own account so it just goes straight to my home page..."

~carly~ still extremely confused and trying to remember if naked women had ever popped up when she used youtube...the ads can get a bit sketchy at times but...

~carly~
"I have my own account too...but it doesn't go straight to my account page..."

~mom~
"I hate using it because it happens to me every time! I have to get to youtube through a link on the church website!"

~carly~ thinks...oh mother. that really isn't necessary...

~derek~ goes over to her laptop once my mom has minimized the page and the bad pictures are gone

takes him two seconds and he discovers the problem.

~derek~
"Mom,
that's not how you spell youtube."

~mom~
"...It isn't?"

~derek~
"No. Youtube is spelled y-o-u-t-u-b-e."

then the amazingly hilarious moment happens.

~my mother realizes she has been going straight to a porn site whenever she wanted to go to youtube.~


Derek and I laugh for a long time : )

my mom joins in the laughter slightly after we do
and expresses her relief that we weren't viewing pornography.


ah mommy.
I do so enjoy you : )
happy birthday : )


p.s. naked naked apes, please give my mother and her patchy computing skills a break, and put some clothes on.
