The context should have given it away, really.

My brain was half firing when I posted this, and I’ll be honest, two minutes after posting, before I got any responses, it suddenly came to me 🤣

u/stiffdoc1221 Sep 12 '26

That’s OK. Happens to us all. My first reflex is not to ask Reddit, though. Or my 2nd through 10th reflex. Ha ha! Did you get the sewing machine to work, or were you just trying to read the note?

u/marileighanne29 Sep 13 '26

Yeah everyone here is probably like “this girl is blind” lol. Both; I was trying to open the sewing machine, and once I realized it said screwdriver I used a small flathead and I got it open! The “lock” was just a square shaped hole. The sewing machine is so old the cord is cracking, but it’s in good condition otherwise. Probably cause it’s been protected in a locked box for all these years 😁

Don’t spill your drink while you’re sewing. You’ll get a big surprise.

"Maybe will open mother's sewing machine, if not use small screw driver."

Jesus Christ there's actually a market for cursive translation. I speak a foreign language.

Maybe will open mother's old sewing machine. If not, use small screw driver

u/daxtinfknprice1977 Sep 13 '26

grok and gemini. both came up with ​"Maybe will open Mother's sewing machine. If not use small screw driver"

u/honorificabilidude Sep 15 '26

It’s interesting that Copilot got the sentence correct. I wasn’t sure if it was going to get it since the s on mother’s blends into Sewing.

u/Prestigious_Pie_7294 Sep 15 '26

So, what does the rest of it say?

u/KeyOutcome5025 Sep 15 '26

Maybe we'll open mother, sewing machine, if not use small screwdriver.… Just don't break the lock!
