A few nights ago, I sneezed and 10 seconds later, I received a text from my daughter that said "bless you."
My immediate thought was, wouldn't it have been easier to just scream out bless you then to type it. Then I remembered it was my house I was thinking about.
Some days in my house the only noise you will hear is the cat meowing. My kids have taught her to text too, but on her first try she sent a text to the local cat rescue! Her phone privledges were promptly revoked!

I often think if these kids today could text their answers to the SAT questions, a 2400 would be scored every time.
As I start to college- and scholarship-shop with my daughter, I keep looking for the $10,000 scholarship for the high school junior that can text the fastest. Mine is a shoe in for this. She not only can text the fastest, but, can text without looking. Now, this takes real talent!

Think about it, who comes up with the texting lingo, LOL, OMG, GR8? Probably some high school English teachers, so they can understand papers being turned in!
I refuse to get a smart phone or a phone that scrolls. I believe I am smart enough. I press the 3 and get the 6, I press the 6 and get the 9, it drives this lady crazy! So, my flip phone it is and will remain.
In the mean time, my husband texted me the other night, (in reply to my text) it's on channel 195. Yes, I could have walked downstairs to ask him, but why move when one is so comfortable right?
On a final note, I can only hope that some of these texting teens plan to go to med school to major in arthritis. The way I see it, (first hand) there will not be a shortage of patients!
Isn't technology GR8?
LOL.
