Me: I need to get my northface cleaned when I get home…I got bbq sauce on it
Mom: okay, what would I need to know about that?
Me: I was eating and it got on my coat. How else would it happen?
Mom: seriously, you’re like stream of conscious texting
Me: you’re allowed to send me 14 emails a week telling me to wish on a butterfly made of semicolons and back slashes and I’m not allowed to talk about my dry cleaning?
Mom: No.

Mom: so why don’t you talk on your other phone.
Me: because I have no voice.
Mom: why is that phone broken too?
Me: the phones are fine, I just don’t have a voice. I can’t talk. I’m sick.
Mom: so it’s not the phone.
Me: no. I’m sick, I have no voice.

Anyways, his troublemaker friend sent him a text that said, “hey, can you get me a cheeseburger?” What does that mean?

Me: Ummm…mom, what do you mean? It probably means “hey, can you get me a cheeseburger?”

Mom: Oh…are you sure? I just thought maybe it could be some sort of hip secret code for some type of drug or something…

mom: oh good I thought something was wrong with my text messages. I have sent 3 texts to your brother but no reply. I am worried he’s dead or worse just drunk all the time.
me: I talked to him this morning, he’s not dead at least. I can’t vouch for the rest.
mom: I’m so glad I learned this texting stuff just so I could “supposedly” communicate with him. I’m now paying 30 extra bucks a month for him to ignore me, like always.
me: well at least you’re all hip now with your cool new phone.
mom: whoop de do

How would someone elses texts get on my chat area? Im not sure what this is here I am typing on, it says Chat with A* in a new big square separate from the side. This also looks like an email but as a chat session. I cant see my chat and the words have gone up into some space. I cant get to it and it wont send. Also this different chat thing is here, maybe I brought it up when I clicked on chat on the left side of the screen where you can see your history of chats and all that. I think that is how I saw you had chatted me, things weren’t going normal on the regular chat space (like now). Im sending this to see if you will get it, not sure. I will email you also. Maybe I should just shut down and start over. I am not a wiz at this thing. When it does crappy things I cant fix or figure out. I love you and am sorry if you felt I intentionally ignored you or something. Sad face. Your mom.
