I love my Mom and Dad dearly…..but….they send the most dull, boring, and inane text messages……EVER!
They’ve gone away for a long weekend (so, if you’re a prospective burglar…..the house is empty until Monday) and, for some reason, I’m getting a running commentary on every aspect of their trip.
For example:
09:11
Dad Mobile
“Had a good nights sleep after a great meal. Just off to breakfast.”
09:15
My Response
“I don’t care…..but, thanks for keeping me informed!”
Thankfully, my dad understands my stupid sense of humour, so, he texted back:
09:19
Dad Mobile
“Will do! Just deciding whether to have 1 or 2 sausages with my scrambled eggs.”
Thanks Dad! What a useful bit of information…..absolutely enthralling!
Later on, my mobile phone buzzed with another text message….this time, it was from my Mom.
13:56
Mom Mobile
“We’ve just had a snack for lunch & we’re now waiting for our room to be ready”
13:59
My Response
“I really don’t care….please stop texting me.”
This time, there was a delayed response.
I was a little worried that I’d offended my Mother with my flippant remarks.
10 minutes passed….no response.
20 minutes passed….still no response.
Then, all of a sudden…..a message came through…….
14:29
Dad Mobile
“Just about to jump into the shower with your mom.”
14:30
My Mobile
“Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwww, stop…..for God’s sake, PLEASE STOP!”
The texting stopped for an hour or so……until……
16:12
Dad Mobile
“Please can you move your boxes out of the garage as they’re in the way.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
