Whippersnappers!

Myra was next on the list of sibs to take great offense to Lil' Flo's reminder that many of them have birth certificates as old as the clipping Joan found. Myra took her gloves off and was the first of the elders to start with the name calling. Whippersnappers! Oh my! Lil' Flo had never been called a whippersnapper. In fact, she didn't even know what one was. She researched and found out a whippersnapper is defined as an unimportant but offensively presumptuous person, especially a young person. Possibly, there are many other young people who have never heard of a whippersnapper either. Whether or not you know the definition, just might show your age. Myra tells the family:

I think that some young Whippersnappers should have
more respect for the wiser, more mature family members
(if you can think of any who fit that category)
Love
Myra (the Wise) No, not Pig, Wise
PS I have to share this. I was spell checking my message, as I have been making such a mess of typing recently. and the suggestion for the correct spelling of LambDoran was"lamebrain"
To those with no prior experience to RESOMJF, you might think that Lil' Flo started the string of emails that were to continue for 26 days and 26 nights.  It seems that techniqually it is true.  However, Myra is the first to actually use name calling as evident with "whippersnapper" and "lamebrain".  So for this, we will give credit to Myra.  We must also analyze why Myra was so concerend with using her spell check.  Did she notice Florence's spelling errors in the initial email?  Perhaps Myra did not want to come across as senial.  For this, we will give credit to Florence.  People are just earning points left and right.  
The emails that are about to surface are going to turn this into a "tag, your it" game that felt like went on forever until it wasn't fun to check your email anymore.  We, however, will try and keep this fun.

  1. I almost hate to get involved in this discussion because we Lamb men are well aware that when lamb women go at it, it's best just to step back and watch the fun!

    BUT! In your paragraph about spell checking there is one word that evidently was missed by the spell checker, both the human one and the virtual one.
