Dear Busy Adult,
I was so happy and excited the day I was bought, still in my package. I thought I may be useful, and used to help type a message that would end the conflict in the Middle East, or maybe I would be used to enter the final formula for solving cold fusion. I had dreams of adventure; destroying you teenager’s enemies, as commands were typed for their avatar. You know I would not have judged them for their choice of troll in the Dwarves’ Alliance.
Ah, but instead you gave me to your mom. She hits my keys, with her index finger, like a kid plays whack-mole. Last week I helped her find lost episodes of Murder She Wrote. Does she know that I have had my caps lock turned on, for three months? Yes, that is the reason she can’t type in her email password.
I am not solving the world’s problems, or on a virtual quest. I know I will last a long time, because she gets plenty of rest. She may use certain keys, way too often. Why does she use LOL so much? However, I do get to type her heartfelt ending note to the grandkids, her traditional XXOOOXXX.
I smell like the big bottle of perfume you bought her in 1983. I take her to look at your facebook status, ten times a day. You should know, not even your mom cares what you had for lunch.
Thanks,
Your Mom’s keyboard
P.S.
You mom is very sweet, this gig isn’t that bad. At least I am not your dad’s keyboard. I am too ashamed to tell you what that keyboard goes through!
This made me LOL. There’s a few grammatical errors, but overall this work was a good read. I only wished it would have been longer, since older persons using computers is a nice comedic topic.
I’ll pretty much echo 80sBabi’s comment. Hilarious, and I can only assume what his father did to that poor keyboard…
Thanks, I thought/hoped leaving the world of Dad’s keyboard up to the reader’s imagination would leave an impression.
Thanks 80sBabi! I will have to review this for the grammar issues. I am glad I was able to make you laugh a little. My real passion is comedy writing. I have done a little stand-up, and this is my first attempt at comedy writing for a reader. It is nice to believe that someone else was able to enjoy my attempt at humor.
Heh. Funny.
I once came home to the computer being turned upside down. I asked, “Why is the computer upside down?”
her response, “I had to turn it off”
lol… This keyboard is lucky it isn’t home to a 15 year old boy lol
What do you call that color? Neon pink? Electric pink? Suave pink?
