There's an App for this

 

It's amazing what you can do with modern technology; and with many Apps available for this and that, and with AIs giving you answers to every question you have in mind, and responding to your every need.

I wanted to write something really nice for my wife's birthday card. Something more meaningful than the usual Happy Birthday and Best Wishes etc ... Unfortunately, I am not a good writer.

So I asked the App - or was it the AI, on my cell-phone?

They said:

"My dearest precious treasure. Another year has passed that has shown me that I am the luckiest man alive to have shared my life with you. If I could only stop time ... ... ..."

It went on like that for a bit; but you get the idea. So I faithfully copied every word in my best handwriting on the birthday card, and left it on the kitchen table, as I left for work.

Whilst I was on the train I got a text from my wife that said - "Thank you. Did you use an App to write all this?"

I did not know what to do. So I asked the App how to respond to my wife's text.

They said:

"My dearest wife/husband. If words were mere snowdrops falling from the sky I would capture them as an offering to convey my love for you ... ... ..."

And the App went on with more snow references that soon turned to slush.

I copied as much as I could into a text which I sent back - omitting of course references to wife/husband, and similar examples like his/her. I'm not stupid ... 

I made sure the text looked personal and my message came from the heart. In fact I said so. 

Unfortunately the damn auto-correct said this message was from the "fart" not "heart".

I had a lot of explaining to do when I got home that evening. But at least I bought some flowers from the gas station on my way home.
