Anticipation or dread
April 16, 2009 by Barbara.
Ken sent me an email today to ask about the reservation for us to go camping in May. He’s asked before but I’ve forgotten. I might have thought that he was eagerly anticipating our first camping trip as a family but for the subject line of his email: when is our KIA reservation. Before I could stop giggling long enough to respond, he’d sent another message to clarify that he’d meant the KOA reservation. I hope that the mistake was a simple Freudian slip or typo and not a harbinger of things to come.
By the way, if you’re looking for us on May 8th, 9th or 10th, we’ll be taking advantage of a rent one night - get one night free at the Cardinal KOA. The special is North America wide, if you’re inclined to go camping as well.
Edited to add: Ken needs his chance to respond (now and again)
Just to clarify, in case you don’t know (and who could blame you if you don’t) - KIA is short for killed in action. This is a military term far too prevalent in my professional life and, thus, far more likely to come out my mouth (or typing fingers) than KOA. I don’t even know what KOA stands for, except that I think it’s “K” for “camping”. And, I am looking forward to our upcoming weekend at the KOA.
