The Infamous Naughty Email

On the same night that my friends and I had the very serious discussion about men's chest hair (see previous blog), I learned some other vitally important information. It may seem like common sense to some of you. One should ALWAYS check to see what addresses are in the "to" section of your email if you are sending them to a group of people. I learned this lesson the hard way (ha!)....by inadvertently sending a funny but naughty post to a very inappropriate someone.

You see (are you still staring?!), I received this fascinating advertisement for Viagra (from a Brownie mom, no less) ..and had to send it on to my PTO buddies because I so love to get a rise out of them (every pun intended!) There are a few in particular that I relish shocking...one being the wife of our school's principal. Well, on the night of the Mama Mia! extravaganza, I walked into the movie theatre and one of the PTO presidents emeritus (yeah, I hang out with the heavy hitters...there were no less than 3 PTO presidents past and present in our gathering) says," I had no idea that you had such a "special relationship" with our Principal". Of course, I looked at her in bewilderment, not knowing what you have now guessed was my blunder. She laughed and said, "The Viagra ad that you sent to him...." Holy Shit- nearly peed my pants when I realized that I had accidentally clicked the principal and not his wife when adding "insert addresses" from my email address book. Alphabetically they are listed together and of course, I hadn't looked carefully....and I'd sent it to his school address! Yeah, I'm THAT friend- the one who talks about sex alot. The good news is that I immediately called my friend, his wife and alerted her to my error ..of course, I had trouble hearing her on the cell phone because of all the laughter in the background....She assured me that he would delete it upon entering school without ever viewing it which I believe because he's VERY conservative and too nice to want to embarrass me. Thank goodness someone was paying attention! I cannot fathom his reaction had he opened it. So let my error be a lesson to all of you out there in cyberspace- check carefully to whom you send your silly and salacious emails to....because honey, though it ended well, my mistake will be a topic of discussion for a LONG time. I've already gotten suggestions that I need to take an email etiquette class. Said comment came at the school's ice cream social from a husband of one of the Mama Mia! attendees....he was so very delighted to needle me about it! I will forever be the sender of The Infamous Naughty Email!
