Actual conversation today between Charlie and me:
Charlie enters kitchen from his office. I shout to him from the living room:
“Your last tweet was on my account.”
“That means YOUR account is on my Tweetdeck on my iPhone,” he replies.
“Well, YEAH. It WAS on there before you let me get my OWN iPhone. But I thought I removed it. [pause] Ohhh, I DID remove the columns for my account and John’s. But our accounts are actually still there. For some reason it won’t let me delete them. See, if you push HERE as you’re Tweeting, it toggles between your account, mine, and JM’s. “
((Note: “John” and “JM” are John Maxwell, my social media client. I manage Maxwell’s Twitter account, which is why I have access. I’m not an impostor posing as John C Maxwell, Leadership Guru. At least as far as you know…)
“I guess I’ll just have to be careful. I’m glad I didn’t tweet that as John Maxwell.”
(“that” being an update on his visit to the doctor and prescription for cough medicine with codeine.)
“Um, yeah. That might’ve been awkward.”
“Since I tweeted as YOU, I know you can always make light of it.”
“Mm-hm.”
“Or you can post a snarky tweet making fun of what I did.”
“NO. I would NEVER do that.”
“You already have, haven’t you?”
“Yep.”
There’s just nothing better than a relationship wherein you can know and be fully known by someone. My husband knows I’m a mocker, and yet he loves me anyway.
Thanks Charlie. Now stay off of my Twitter.

Hey thanks for the mention and we’ll be having an intervention for you later. Mostly because we love you and are very worried about this addiction. Prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem. The remaining … oh say 10% is because it sounds like a very amusing evening during which I’ll pretend to be frustrated at your constant lies about how it is actually Charley who has a problem but deep down I’ll find it amusing.

First things first… “Now stay off of my Twitter.” TWSS! or maybe… TWHS!
I saw the original tweet come through and didn’t think anything of it, but now that I hear the ‘back story’… it is so much better!

I have been known to faux pas myself and have perfected the speedy tweet delete. It’s pretty easy and saves the day. Unless of course fun is to be had…

Hmmm….codeine….How long have you been in denial over your addiction? You know, admitting you have a problem in the first place would be half the battle, but you are not even there, are you?

That’s what she said…
Okay, fine. Bridget beat me to the punch. But it bears repeating.
So, are you saying that I were to DM JM a few times, he would get said DMs? Hmm….

Just for future reference, I don’t need to know when, how often, why, or to what extent your husband is on your “twitter.” You really should be careful with all that personal info you’re throwing out there online…

What would have happened if Charlie was on JM’s twitter? Would we really need to know about it?

I’m cracking up!
“Or you can post a snarky tweet making fun of what I did.”
“NO. I would NEVER do that.”
“You already have, haven’t you?”
“Yep.”
Exactly a conversation to be had btwn my hubby and me!

Hilarious!
Now that’s a marriage. My husband leaves in fear of his stupid antics being posted on the blog. Fortunately for him, most of those are done in the nude. And who wants to read that?
