Text Messages From My Sarcastic Mother.
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?!

Do your parents read your blog? I’m new so excuse the fact that I have not gotten through all of the archives (yet) to note if you have mentioned this.

I think you’re crazy…nuts…
I would not give my parents texting ability for all the free pizza and beer I could consume. Not even for that.
/shiver…oh the horror…. My mother is the variety that wants to talk about their dogs digestive woes, and my father’s bathroom habits. These are not things I need to see in texted format. EVER.

This is -not- a post about your Valentine’s Day date. Boo.
Also: I love your mother.

Old people and texting crack me up so much. My mom texts sometimes, so does my aunt. It’s always weird and awkward.
