Oops - awkward typo in a text to my 97 yr old mom.

My mom is fortunate enough to have no cognitive decline and is iPad and text capable. Late last night, she sent me a text expressing her hope that the Democrats don’t somehow blow it today.

In an attempt to express my admiration for Chairman Schiff and my confidence that he will run things well, I texted back, “Adam Schiff seems to always have his dicks in a row.” She texted back, “His WHAT?”

Fortunately, my mom, having been around as long as she has, and having had a long and varied nursing career, has a pretty good sense of humor and is not easily shocked.

I corrected my typo, and then opined that, with all the idiot Republicans around, my typo may not have been entirely inaccurate. Plenty of dicks on the committee Representative Schiff chairs.

She doesn't swear, but she thinks my potty mouth is hilarious.
