Email from Dad, Part 4, Twizzle

(continued from the last installment)

Sheryl Yvette to Dad:
OH MY GOD you have no idea how funny your emails are - no idea!
Yes, I am keeping busy of course and doing well. Those *are* all my favorite things, how did you know?
Funny, I also have a 'below 50 degree' rule/threshold...
I'm picking up a bib tonight @ the NY Road Runners for a 4 mile run in Prospect Park this Saturday. And tomorrow I'm off - I have a spin class (that's indoor biking) and am going to meet up with a friend to attend her Weight Watchers meeting. Speaking of - the PRESIDENT OF WW INTERNATIONAL - retweeted (re-twizzled) something I wrote about WW! How's that for awesome? Pretty awesome!
I'll send the Professor your love. He's a very bad little cat.
xo Sheryl
Dad to Sheryl:
Hi Sheryl,received your twizzle.Hope you did well with your run on Saturday.When I get done with my Billy project, everyone will be able to google and twizzle just like you and me,but in my case,with my superior skill,it will take alot of serious learning to get to my level.As you realize,people respect your knowledge you are very smart with great common sense.When you were in elementary school,I talked to your teacher and she said you didn't like to answer in class.When I talked to you about it,you said you didn't want to give a wrong answer and look dumb.My answer to that was, you don't know if it's wrong until you ask and the dumbest question is the one that is not asked.That theory was developed by me.I hope everything went well at WW.The Professor is not bad,he just misses you,he thinks you are his Momma Love, Dad
  1. O.M.G! HE USED TWIZZLE! He says "twizzle" all the time instead of "tweet". And no, he's not on Twitter (not that I know of, anyway)
  2. "Billy" is of course, Bill Gates. My Dad likes to think that with his newfound computer knowledge, he's Bill Gates' right hand man.
  3. He managed to throw in a story of me when I was a kid. He has a million of them. And funny he should say I have great common sense. My mother repeatedly told me I had "no common sense".
  4. "That theory was developed by me" - classic!
  5. He actually sends me Birthday & Mother's Day cards from my cats, the Professor often gives me gifts too. I don't know where he's earning his cash, but maybe I don't want to know...
I almost feel bad stealing all my Dad's emails for the delight of my readers. But they're so funny, I have to share! I suppose the least I could do is give him a call. I'll call him from work tomorrow. But I'm still not giving him my cell phone number.

I used to send Ashley holiday cards from her Men -- whether it was Thanksgiving, Easter, you name it, and Jim, Jimmy, Jeffy, Jay, Eric, and Mike sent her a love note -- but this fell out of style once we started getting into college professors. It's so cute your dad sends you cards from Professor Littleton!

These are my favorite posts now, to tide me over between reports of Sour Balls! You are lucky to have two charming men like this in your every day life.

Omg. Your dad is hysterical!

I wonder if the professor earns his money by working with Ruby. She's an announcer for the MTA. It's perfect because she only needs to know a couple words in english.

Hmm, did my comment get to you? You've softened towards your dad this post. Yes, call him! Give him your number! He's your dad and he obviously loves you very much. (Well, judging from the emails. I have no right to get so bossy I know. But I am getting bossy. Sorry)

He should startup "twizzle" to give Twitter a run for their money!
These emails are precious!
