You may recall that I decided to get my parents new mobile phones – complete with keyboard and unlimited text messaging capabilities.

I am pleased to say that this did not happen a year ago or I suspect that every text message I receive from her might be “Do you have my blender?”

Instead, she’s opted for “What are you doing?” as her favorite text message.  I should note… My parents can be a little sarcastic.  Also, I am the youngest in the family.  And, as an attorney, the WILD CHILD of the family.

Seriously.

So on Saturday afternoon, she sent her favorite message: “What are you doing?”

I responded, “I’m getting ready to shop and then go to dinner.”

What did she write back?

“Have fun. Don’t Spend.”

then, 1 minute later:

“Have fun. Save Money.”

I laughed.

I wrote back: “I’m going to spend ALL my money at ONE place.”

Her response?

“Good. Be smart.”

What the hell was I thinking when I got this text messaging option?!
