Numbers 19 and 20 are hilarious!


I've tagged Beverly, and the mods to check out the link for it's content. Some of the wording is 'risque'.

LOL! My dad is hilarious texting. I send him pics from time-to-time and wish him a good day. And he just sends blank text messages or says, "Ok."

Me: Dad, I love you.
Dad: Ok
Me: Did you get my pic?
Dad: I need help with the washing machine.
Me: Did you get my pic?
Dad: Ok.
Me: I guess you find my pic ugly?
Dad: *blank text*

I love that weirdo!

Dad: *blank text*

I love that weirdo!

This is my mother

She will respond "Ok" or talk about something else that has nothing to do with what I texted her about!

The worse is when text something that I'm excited about and she responds "Ok".

 

[Lucie]

LiftedUp, our parents were cut from the same cloth. Hahahaha!

I'm crying!

I couldn't resist sharing this.

LucieLoo12 ... Your Dad is adorable. "Ok'

I won't even tell you which one "I am" with my son and daughter.

It took me forever to understand what they meant by 'RU' or 4U or TTYL and to this very day, I still type out the full words. Abbreviations are dangerous for me.

My mom just got a new phone with a keyboard just so she could learn to text. She writes texts like they're letters. "Dear LivingInPeace, I hope this finds you well...." But she's 82 so I let it slide

LivingInPeace....Awwwww, your 'Mom' sounds adorable.

I'm not 82 but I write out texts to my son and daughter all the time.

I think it's job related because I work with contracts and I have to 'guard' every word in spelling and in content. If I start to abbreviate, it might slip when I'm working...

For your Mom...

 

[Lucie]

OMG @DearLivingInPeace, that is so eloquent. I love that! Tell your mom to text me too! LOL!!!!

 

[Shimmie]

Okay... I confess This one is me.

 

[naturalfinally]

Okay... I confess This one is me.

Hilarious!!! Lawd, this was too funny!!

 

[Shimmie]

Hilarious!!! Lawd, this was too funny!!

Took me a while to realize that the camera lens was 'behind' my fingers.

Shimmie, thanks for sharing those.. I can relate on either end. LOL
My mom sends me texts all the time and it'll bing 2-3 times 'cause like LIvingInPeace, it's like a letter...she texts how she talks, and it comes over in parts.. lol
My nieces and nephews don't think I'm hip enough to text them. But, whatever... ~shrugs~

thanks for the laughs!

 

[BEAUTYU2U]

Yeah, my mom just makes up her own abbreviations and waits to text back when I'm in a meeting or something lol.

 

[Kalani]

My sides hurt!! Dad signing off as the deadly moth and mom mistaking Britney Spears for Kim Jong-il are my favs! Honorable mention to the epi pen, lol. Poor kids being traumatized by the embaressing mistakes.

This is so sweet

I can relate to both sides as well...

I'm still responding to the first message and my babies are sending me messages numbers 3, 4 and 5. The group texts are the ones I really have to try and keep up with.

I'm still in my first reply and I have to add to the text message "Hold up... I'm tryna' catch up. My son laughs at me so hard that he cries. That's so wrong I love my grown up babies, though.

 

[Shimmie]

LOL!!!!!

I know momi.... It took me a while (like a month of 'minutes') to keep my fingers away from the camera lens on the phone. I have sooooooo many pictures in my older cameral phones with the palms of my hands and / or my fingers... no kidding...

But hey, I had my nails 'did'

Parents have a lot of fun teasing their teenagers with these texts. I believe it's payback for those high rates of 5000 plus text messages and data usage a month that their teens pile up.

 

[Shimmie]

Yeah, my mom just makes up her own abbreviations and waits to text back when I'm in a meeting or something lol.

Beauty, I can only imagine. Sometimes I may use the proper abbreviations and it throws my kids so far off track. They'll text back "Mom... what are you saying ! ? ! We can't relate to that, it's not text talk.

Just clicked the link...


Some of these are a little risque' -

I just read them in total and I may have to delete the link and post the cleaner ones.

I'll check with beverly and Supergirl if it should be deleted.

 

[Supergirl]

Hilarious!

Shimmie

I think they're fine.

Laughter is good for the soul.

No not delete worthy

I was just personally convicted. Carry on Sis. :Rose:

Yeah, my uncle got a txt from my mom the other day, "LMK," and he was like, "Beauty, what is your mama saying?" Sad part is ... I knew, "Let Me Know."

 

[Shimmie]

Hilarious!

Shimmie

Supergirl, thank you so much for responding.

I saw so much of myself in these text messages, I blurred over the '' ones. :blush3:

My son and daughter will NEVER see these, due to the 'language'

Actually so they won't point me out and start teasing me.

 

[Shimmie]

Yeah, my uncle got a txt from my mom the other day, "LMK," and he was like, "Beauty, what is your mama saying?" Sad part is ... I knew, "Let Me Know."

Beauty, I was still trying to figure out 'TY' and GM and LU2.

My son and daughter will start off in the morning, GM Mom... I thought it was a typo until they told me it was 'Good Morning'. And Thank you and Love u 2.... at least it was love they were sending me.

Thanks momi and I apologize to anyone who was either offended or convicted, by my oversight. :Rose:

Shimmie you are so gracious.


Oh Boy. I definitely could have worded my comment better.

I was about to share on my FB page because the examples posted were so funny. When I clicked I realized that it wasn't appropriate for my FB audience... that's all.

I know it is never your intention to offend.
