Auto-Spell

I am new at all this technology stuff. Before Anna-Lee and I went to Israel, I decided I would succumb and get a smart phone so we could text and call home.
It's a nice phone, but I really only do very basic things with it. 

The other day this texting was the source of one of those from the gut gauffaws resulting in wet eyes.

It is called auto-spell and it has been one of the more frustrating aspects of my technology experiences. Usually, what I wrtie is what I want, but the "smart" phone tries to override me and decide that it actually is not what I want, and change it to something that makes absolutley no sense.

 So, there I was, sitting in the waiting room at ballet, texting Monica. One of my answers to her was uh-huh -  a synonym for yes, yep, yeah...

I pressed "send."
Then realized auto-spell had changed my little uh-huh to...
unhygienic.

I burst out laughing, wet eyes and all, sitting by myself in the waiting room... except for the other people sitting there "wondering..."
