An email I received today:
“Subject: bad day
on Tuesday, I went to zoo to clean Aspen’s cage and got bit by fire ants,
then David and I headed to Tuscaloosa. On the way we had a flat tire in
Prattville which took a while to fix as had trouble getting lug nuts loose.
Then David left his wallet at the tire place so had to go back and get it.
Then before got out of Autauga County(Prattville is in this county) I got a
speeding ticket. Got David moved in to his apartment and came home.
Electricity was going on and off and dad told me I needed to go to bed then
electricity went out for 7 hours. figured all the bad luck was finished but
on Wed. went to zoo and dietician wasn’t there so I had to fix all the diets
for education. Glad those two days are over. love, mom
grandma is still laughing about the speeding ticket.”
Thats exactly how my mother writes emails as well – as if it were a telegraph; one block paragraph, just the facts.
Is this coincidence or a general trend?
