Today, my mom learned how to use the text messaging on her smartphone. I've received 37 already, and she calls after every single one to make sure I understood her. FML

What's the point in her texting you in the first place if she calls you afterwards? Parents just don't understand...lol

Either one of you is retarded, or you are enjoying the attention. Why didn't you just tell her after the 3rd, 4th, okay even 5th message, that you understand?

Ok. I re read it. Now what? I still think the OP could have told his mom, in a kind or unkind manner, depending on their relationship, that he understood before receiving all 37 texts and calls, to which he obviously picked up. But i will keep re reading it to make sure, ok?

Is she being weened off of the walkie talkie? You may have to send back "Roger that" after every text until she gets the hang of it.

Send her 37 messages telling her to stop texting you. And make sure you call after each one, so you know she understands. :)

That's a good solution, actually. I'll try that on my mom...

When my mom texts, she tends to hit the shift button halfway through, so half of her texts look like she's yelling at me.

My mom tried the same thing and wouldn't stop until I started "accidentally" sending her pictures of my cramming inanimate objects up my arse. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, ya know.

I really don't understand why you would send pictures of things up your ass to your mom, even if she was being annoying with constant text messages.

Have you heard of abbreviations like LOL for 'laugh out loud' and l8r for 'later'? Well, pictures such as his are an acceptable shorthand for 'you're a pain in the ass'.

Maybe if you replied to one of the texts, she'd realize that it worked. As a good kid, you should teach her that texts don't start with "Dear ____" followed by a weather report and they don't need to be signed at the end.
