I get most of my emails these days through my iPhone. In case you're not familiar with iPhone e-mails, you can opt to have a brief preview of each e-mail show up in your inbox. The preview is formatted like this:
RETURN ADDRESS
SUBJECT LINE
FIRST LINE OF TEXT
SECOND LINE OF TEXT
The other day, I opened my inbox and saw this e-mail preview (from a local parents listserve that I am on):
From: SENDER'S NAME
Subj: 2 CUTE KIDS...
Msg: $5. Interested? Email me and I will send
you a picture.
It had been a bad mommy day. So, I read this and instantly thought:
"Wow! This mom has had an even worse day than I've had... Hers has been so bad, in fact, that she's selling both of her kids for $5 (that's, $2.50 each). Thank god I haven't yet sunk that low! Ha!"
(Insert maniacal laughter here.)
Then I opened the e-mail...and I saw that she was selling 2 cute kids CHAIRS.
