When using email to make inappropriate amateur porn jokes to other parents at your child's (religious!) school, it is a good idea to make sure your email goes only to your intended recipient.
Do NOT accidentally hit the "Reply To All" button. You will be embarrassed, I promise.
Case study, below ...
TO: ALL SCHOOL ROOM PARENTS
FROM: ROOM PARENT COORDINATOR
Hi everyone, There will be a gathering tomorrow night after the room parent meeting. Please feel free to join us for a drink, soda or food after the room parent meeting tomorrow night. See you all tomorrow at the meeting and hopefully after!
MY REPLY TO ALL (meant for one other room parent who has a wicked sense of humor):
I expect there will be a video "Room Moms Gone Wild"?
If there was any doubt, I just confirmed my status as "that" mom. Someone is getting homeschooled ...

Being "that" mom is so much fun though!!! It makes everyone think and keeps them on their toes!! That totally sounds like something I would have said!

ehh, could have always been worse... plus working mommy's right - you're the FUN mom!!
when i was working in the mayor's office in houston and the mayor had sent a group of us an email, a friend of mine hit "reply all" to something she just meant to sent to me. big mistake. the mayor also knew how she really felt about the project...
Oh...you make me laugh so...."That" mom rocks!
Ha! That is totally something I would do.
you rock!
Whoops!! I'm "that" mom too. Sigh.
Ouch--too funny. I think the "reply to all" button should be removed from email anyway. It has caused much more grief than good.
ROFLOL - you may be "that" mom, but you would be the mom I would want to hang out with - gotta have a sense of humor.
So funny! I know too many "reply-all" horror stories and am terrified of blind copy recipients somehow getting included, so anytime I email something with even the remote potential to be embarrassing, I always hit forward and manually type in the address I want!
