Laughing…..”Oh Mark!”
I was staring at the timer I held in my palm, having just discovered that Mark’s 10 minutes of computer playing time had turned into 30 minutes. He’d been so careful and obedient to bring me a timer and set it himself before petitioning for the coveted playing time. Too bad I hadn’t noticed that the back panel of the timer was missing and nary a battery was in place. His ten minutes had turned into a limitless coupon of no expiration date.
“I didn’t know, Maggie,” Mark defended, chuckling along with me when his accidental good plan was discovered.
“Well, whatever, your time is up anyway,” I conceded, “what were you playing?”
As the younger brother launched into a detailed play-by-play, Miriam mumbled that it was about time, and that she was off to take her allotted time on the computer. Apparently second-hand computer adventures were as interesting to her as ABC gum is for someone who just got dentures. Leaving the others to chew on Mark’s memory, she yelled on her way out, “Hey Mark, what is your sewer name?”
“Sewer name?” I questioned, “What in the world is that?”
Madalyne laughed, “That’s how Mark spelled ‘user name’”.
“That’s what Monte told me!” Mark defended, “S-E-U-somthin’-somthin’”.
