Moms and URLs

My elderly Mother, how dear she is! Even though the tech wave hit her at a late age, I am proud to say that she not only did not let it engulf her, she is riding that baby! My mother, who does not drive an automobile or swim, can drive and surf the net just as good as anybody! She is my father's number one secretary in an age where young people are trying to keep up with internet jargon. Today she ask me what the URLs were, from my viewpoint on the other end of the telephone line long distance, it sounded like "Earls"! What "earls" are your referring to, Mom, I asked? You know, she said, and she spelled it, those U-R-L-S on the web search engine page? I began to giggle and she did too! What a different language we speak now, of earls (URLS) and e-messes (EMS) according to Mom! I'm always trying to 'cipher' what she's sayin!
