Mom and E-Mess

Exasperated after contacting various and sundry providers, neither of us knew exactly what to ask or how to answer for that matter. We needed a second email address and we were not sure how to go about it. After hours of searching through endless websites, we finally settled on E-Chat with an agent. Someone named "Jason" showed up. My elderly mom, wondering if this was a computer-generated "Jason" or a real "Jason" asked me to type in the question box, "Where are you sitting in this computer?" We began to giggle and got so slap-silly after all of our serious inquiries that when the agent asked what the problem was, not being computer literate and stumbling over her tongue trying to say "email" my Mom answered, "Ems - emess." Laughing, she said, "that is what this is - emess!"
