The Dot That Got Lost in Cyberspace

(inspired by Alyssa)

There once was a little dot known as the Period. He was invented way back when writing as we know it came to be. He was a mere speck on a page, but he took great pride in his job. He would brag to the Comma, and all the other Punctuation Marks, that he had the most important job of them all. It was gis job to show when a snetence was done, so the next sentence would know when to start and not get confused. Because, you know, that could turn into a big mess, sentences getting confused and going everywhere running into each other and such. Until, one day, IMing was invented. "Another place to show off my skill!" thought the little dot. But, he soon realized he was in trouble. You see, when people send IMs, each sentence gets it very own line. Theres no way for them to get confused. The Period wasnt used that much at all. And when people got used to not using him (because most of thier typing time is IMing) he showed up less in emails and such. And people got more excited and confused, because ! and ? are used so much more now. Now, he's floating around cyperspace, jumping in the few places he's needed (well, most of the time he does, sometimes peopel dont push the key hard enough). The Comma is now the most loved (or at least subconsciously used) Punctuation Mark. But he doesnt brag, he saw what happened to the Period and he doesnt want that to happen to him! So, little dot, wherever you are, know that we still love you!

I'd like to bring to all of your attention this potentially stressful disease.

-Babysitters Trauma-
Babysitters Trauma, also known as BT, occurs when a babysitter, catching a fleeting glimpe of herself, in a window or mirror, on her way by while chasing a baby, sees her reflection and realizes that she looks like the kids mom.
Watch For- cheese doodle power, pudding, sauce, or other food on your clothes (from attemptin to feed the kid(s)), messed up hair, drool on your clothes (from the baby(s)).
Treatment- Most cases can be cured with a hot shower or bath, and fresh clothes, as soon as possible. In severe repeating cases, a vacation may be needed as well. The Babbysitter may also vow to never have kids.
