“My childhood cat Callie died and I texted my friend Jenna the news of Callie’s death but what I didn’t realize was that Autocorrect changed the name ‘Callie’ into Kelley which is the name of our best friend.
Since I didn’t realize the name had changed, this is the text conversation we had
Kelsey: Hey Jenna, I’ve got some sad news, Kelley’s dead.
Jenna: (trembling)What??? What happened?
Kelsey: She got hit by a car.
Jenna: (crying) Oh My God! Did you call an ambulance?
Kelsey: I already buried her.
Jenna: You buried her? Where?
Kelsey: In my backyard.
Jenna: Wow Kels! I don’t know if that was the right thing to do!”
This joke revolves around a miscommunication caused by autocorrect, a common feature in texting that sometimes unintentionally alters words. The humor emerges from the confusion between “Callie,” the name of a cat, and “Kelley,” the name of a mutual friend. When autocorrect changes “Callie” to “Kelley,” Jenna receives a shocking message about their friend “Kelley” being dead, leading to a series of misunderstandings. Kelsey, unaware of the autocorrect error, continues the conversation as if talking about a cat, mentioning how she buried “Kelley” in the backyard, which is a normal action for a deceased pet but utterly absurd and alarming for a human. Jenna’s horrified and confused response to burying their friend in the backyard adds to the humor.
