Sorry Nana...Funny little ditty

Clicking 'filthy' instead of 'family'.

By Antoni De'LeonPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

I wrote of my wonderful human Nana

using catty feline references

then skipped across to publish it proudly

I went through all of the required steps

prior to choosing a Community

Then moonwalked over to

'add a tag so readers know

what your story is about',

But instead of clicking on FAMILY

I mistakenly clicked FILTHY

and off to be published it flew...but...woe is me

Filthy...it read, barely visible, unless one really looked

but still...

Now, maybe no one noticed, but oh dear...

What if Nana sees her story under filthy

I would feel so bad....

I quickly hit edit...trying to take it back

But that little bugger stayed firm

refusing to budge, perhaps having a good laugh

at my expense...alas...what to do

Perhaps I am really making a mountain

out of a tiny molehill

For knowing her...

Nana would probably have a good laugh

thinking filthy is the new fangled way

of saying something nice

"Young people these days...

they say the darndest things".

And just like that, I feel so much better

Seeing Nana's face light up...

Maybe filthy can also mean...filthy happy

Happy filthy

Just saying...

Words can be construed in any way we wish.

Right!
