My little acorn.

First order of business: My keyboard has de-wonked. Thank God.

Second order of business: We truly cannot hate the Urban Dictionary, because its esteemed editorial board has accepted a definition submitted by my 15-year-old daughter:

afterlaugh

noun

2. The laugh from a person who didn't get the joke until everyone else in the room had already finished laughing at it.

Jokester: "He stayed up all night wondering if there was actually a dog!"

Persons 1 - 4: "HA HA HA!"

Person 5 [forty-five seconds later]: "Oh! Instead of a GOD! What a great joke! HA HA HA!"

Jokester: "Nice afterlaugh. Next time, try to keep up."

The definition was all hers. I just helped with the wording. Because, you know; that's sort of what I do. But how proud do you think I am?

Ohhhhh...pretty dang proud. That site is very amusing. Look up your name on it. The definition may make your hair stand up on end. I'm quite partial to mine yet just humble enough not to repeat it here. (But it was a close call.)

Nice tags. "Random Happiness" is a very good tag.

Yeah, and it's becoming a dead heat between "Internet = Good" and "Internet = Bad." Fascinating.
