My step-dad (whom we have lovingly dubbed “Fahzja” and who just started his very own blog, viewable at www.jimyoungtheguiltyone.blogspot.com) went in for what I hear is a long overdue colonoscopy. I am no stranger to the event – not from my own experience, but because I work with mostly older folks. I know all about the no-eating rules, the laxatives, the prep, the discomfort . . . However, I did not know about Pops’ said Nether Adventures until receiving a text message from my mom this morning:

Fahzja has a camera up his butt . . . i m sipping a latte . . . Ahhh. Life is good.
Now, I must note that my mom has just recently discovered text messaging. (A little bit of peer pressure goes a long way.) I was confused, one day getting a text from “Mom Cell.” What? Mom doesn’t text.
hey pea ! Lookit wut yer po ol yo can do . im skurd ha
Much to my bewilderment, I replied “What! I’m so corn-fused!”
i know iz wackt !
Since then, I’ve received messages every few days or so, like
I just lrnd 2 use an I pad! 4 wrk. Very skery cuz I took 2 it like duk 2 water.
She takes “text speak” to a whole new level. Those fast nimble-fingered ‘tweens ain’t got nothin’ on my Ma. And it is a little skery, because my mom has historically found it difficult learning to use new gadgets. So this is, like, really really cool and really really fun.
U r gelus. Don’t deny it
That I am.
