Text Message Alert: TGIF

I was going to blog about moving out (a different text message), or letting go, or maybe even cooking. A short blog, because I have a ton of work. But as I was sitting down this text message just came in:

Hey Mom. I want to know
if i get my stuff done in . . .

I am pretending that I haven't recieved it yet.
Who is this girl and why does she never send these messages to her Dad?

Too funny!!

I've tried teaching Beth how to text but she's just not interested. After seeing Jessie's text, maybe I should be grateful!:)

YOu have to realize that we all come from long lines of alcoholics! But she, at one point, was so prudish about drinking that I made her friend RG take her out drinking with another friend one night. Turns out Jess hated the white russian, but loved beer! So when she came hoome she told me she thought we should keep beer in the fridge and UFC on the TV (that thanks to Drummer Boy). Yike! That'll teach me!

Oh yea ... and the texting is because its a cheap way to keep in touch with friends who have moved away to university! Last year her texts were a friend's alarm clock!

Hi Nan -- I loved seeing this text. Does Jessie have word prediction on her phone? I just wondered.

I want to get my son a phone but he has trouble using a keyboard and I wondered if the word prediction would help.

He doesn't speak, so he would just use the texting. Thanks! Louise

We actaully haven't tried word prediction at all, and she's pretty quick on the keyboard on her phone (but it is sooooo small!)The other thing to look at are the granny phones, where the key pads are bigger! But I think they might be more cumbersome in a different kind of way.
