Like A Text Machine

My mom has been like a texting maniac lately. That’s what these smart phones will do to you. One day you’re dabbling, the next you’re a full-fledged texter.

That’s fine, I like a good text, like getting a private note FYEO!

But you know some things do get lost in textlation. Take for instance, this recent invitation to the Howell Balloon Festival:

Mom: Did you want to go to the ballon fest with us Friday? It is supposed to rain on Saturday. We could eat here first.

Me: At night?

Mom: Yes because balloons launch at 8

Me: I am not sure the kids would survive? I guess I will decide based on naps that day.

Mom: Ok I knew you would be worried about basket but I thought balloons and being outside might make it spanked. Maybe if she is in pj’s and we are on blanket she wo

Mom: uld be ok.

Mom: Wow this is putting strange words in my message! Basket should be hadley. What is spanked? Pj’s?
