Dear Jason,
Today, I told Mom all about Mahalo. I also told her that Jim and I are going to be in a tango competition in late August. She asked, “What are you going to wear?” I said, “Dunno….” She gave me that look, you know that look.
So “we” decided to search for costumes and searched for “Tango”:
Mom looked very puzzled and asked me, “What’s ‘mango’ got to do with ‘tango’?
I told her I didn’t know, but that, evidently, you can use Mahalo to avoid trial and error when searching. Or at least, you can avoid searching by trial and error if you are interseted in “elective genitoplasty”. Mom gave me that look again.
She then squinted, pointed toward the bottom of the screen and said: “Oh, but that looks relevant”. I replied, “Yes, those are the Google results.” Mom said, “Oh. . . . Why don’t we use Google?”
Then, she and I entered a few terms in Google search and within 1 minute found several YouTube “tango” videos. After viewing several, we agreed, that this skirt is “just right” for a 48 year old woman who just started learning the tango 2 months ago:
Mom said, “Don’t you just love Google?”
When we were finished looking for outfits, we went to the fruit bowl and shared a mango. Mom looked a little whimsical ans sighed, “When you were little, you loved Mangoes.” I replied, “I still do!” Then we both both laughed.
Mahalo Jason!
P.S. Jason, I noticed you de-activated comments and on http://blog.mahalo.com . I’m having trouble with my trackbacks took. For some reason, they aren’t showing. When I sort it out, I’ll let you know. Then we can both fix our problems!
This makes me want to call my mom
