I don’t mind so much getting e-mail forwards from my friends. Because then I simply mock and ridicule them until they stop, and I feel like I’ve helped society in some small way. But lately I’ve been getting e-mail forwards from people I can’t do anything about. (I’m talking here about the jokes, about the “why motherhood is hard but so rewarding,” about the “you’re a wonderful woman” e-mails–I swear I’ve gotten that last one twenty times. Hey thanks. I know I’m wonderful.)<\/p>\n
I’m currently on the list of someone I’ve never met (and it is the nature of blogs that I won’t say who this person is or why I’m on this person’s list). How this person decided that I was the proper recipient for forwards I can’t figure out. I also have a relative who’s a big fan of the e-mail jokes. This relative has been in and out of the good graces of the family (that sounds so Mafioso, but really, it’s family with a lowercase f<\/i>). I can always tell when this relative likes us (meaning the family as a whole) again because, wham<\/i>! I’m back on the joke list.<\/p>\n
I’m not even sure why I find these e-mails so annoying. I mean, I have a delete button that works just fine. I think it’s just the principle behind it. (I know I have about three friends who are going to be tempted to flood me with forwards as a direct response to this post; let me just remind you that what comes around, goes around.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
