Facebook "Accident"

I had an interesting thing happen on facebook last week.  I think I'll call it an "accident", and you can decide what you think it should be called.

Do you know what the bible says in Proverbs 17:28?  "Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue."  I think I learned this biblical lesson through facebook this week...... okay, it should have been keeps silent through my typing, not talking........

I took a minute to scroll through some status' to see what people were up too.  I ran across my mom's status, in which she had just typed the word WHITE.  Now, if you know my mom, when it comes to typing or writing, she is a person of few words.  (Talking is another story..... just kidding, mom!)  So, I thought she was just letting us know that they had just got a fresh snow, and all was normal in the world of Iowa.

Since it's always a pleasure for me to rub in the Florida winter weather to my family up north, I thought I'd just respond with GREEN.  This, of course, indicated what I was seeing outside MY window.  Well, for some reason I started getting comments indicating what I typed was pretty funny..... I didn't know what I had done.

Then yesterday I found an article in my local paper.  It said, "This week a campaign apparently designed to raise awaremess about breast cancer is sweeping the social networking site Facebook with a message asking women to update their status with one simple word:  the color of their bra".

Oooops.......... lesson learned.  Sometimes it's just better to mind your own business.  You know, "don't stick you're nose where it doesn't belong".... stuff like that.  I'm sure more words than "accident" come you your mind.
