As you can probably tell, neither my wife nor I are terribly tech savy.  We try.  As I mentioned before, this blog stuff is all new to me; however, my wife does dabble with Facebook.  Basic stuff – post photos, tell people what we’re up to – although I have no idea why people spend all their time looking at what other people eat for breakfast or dinner.

It was March 16, 2014 and my daughter and her husband were arriving to spend a few days with us.  I was upstairs getting ready and Allana was on the computer.  Since it was the day before St. Patrick’s Day, she thought she’d change her profile picture to one of us from a previous St. Patrick’s Day celebration.  She clicked on the “change profile picture” and then browsed her photos thinking she would look at a few and select the best one.  Unfortunately what she didn’t realize is that because she’d already selected “change profile picture” the first picture she chose would automatically be downloaded.  While browsing through the photos she said she saw one “sticking out” of a file and wondered what it was so she double-clicked to open it.  Automatically the process began…..up came the selected photo…..MY PENIS!!!

Adrenaline running through her veins she yelled at me “OMG, OMG!!! What do I do?”.  I ran downstairs while she’s yelling “Your penis is on my facebook profile!”.  I was screaming “Get it off! (although not figuratively!) “Get it Off”!  She quickly looked and could see people were online!  My worst nightmare!  Her boss immediately sent her a message asking why her profile picture was a penis.  Oh God, could it get any worse??  Oh yes.  Off the top of her head she suggested it was the kids fooling around.  Ah good, all covered, we’re safe.  She quickly selected another photo to get rid of the suggestive image.  We tried to relax and act normal – just as my daughter and her husband arrived.

We had a good laugh telling them the story when Allana got another text asking “why is there a penis on your profile pic”? WHAT???  She quickly checked and couldn’t see anything.  Then, laughing, my son-in-law said if she didn’t delete it from history it would still be there!  Oh God help me!  This was a calamity – I had to ask my son-in-law to delete my penis from the screen.  My wife tried to select it and it expanded to fill the entire screen on the computer – my penis as big as it had ever been!  James quickly worked his magic all the while telling my daughter “Don’t look!  Don’t look!”.

They all had a good chuckle about it, in fact my wife laughed herself to sleep that night.  We checked the time and apparently my penis was up for 6 minutes.
