the world is my oyster?

Being a relatively new iPhone owner, I have only recently become accustomed to the inadvertent comedy of its autocorrect. It’s boring territory! Nobody ever liked autocorrect jokes and wait a minute everybody LOVED autocorrect jokes i can remember i was there. Uh. But sometimes autocorrect does NOT intervene.

For example, my father texts me frequently, often solicitous about my general well-being. I often use the phrase “Everything is good,” because I’m literally bursting with amazing ways to describe my well-being, and I don’t want to hurt my Dad with amazing poetry blasts from English Language Skillz Heaven. But I have big thumbs. So sometimes “everything is good” comes out as “everything is food.” Autocorrect doesn’t fix it, because food is a word. That sneaky “F” is right next to the cowardly “G.”

The point is: saying “Everything is food” actually conveys the sentiments of “Everything is good” way way better than “Everything is good.”

“Hey, man. How are you?”

Oh. Everything is food, man. Everything is food.”

“Awesome.”

“Awesome.”

High fives for everyone.
