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

My grandma does that; she also uses text short hand, which drives me crazy.

U should've replied with "mom ur such a wonderful noob"

I get it now. This is the dude that was going to get his mom an engagement ring. But to make his fiancee happy, he opted for a smart phone. Obviouslt still regretting the decision. That's why he doesn't have the heart to say "stop texting me mommy"

My.dad.types.like.this.because.I.didn't.teach.him.the.space.button. my mum talks like this: I'm at as. b bk sn. gta gt mlk wt u wnt? alll the time. and this is every text. I feel for you OP!

Speaking as a member of the "txt tlk" generation*, what the blazes did your mother say?! *I'm a member of that generation, doesn't mean I participated in any of that bollocks.

I actually could kind of understand the mom saying "i'm at *somewhere*. be back soon. gotta get milk, what do you want?" This is something like a guessing game! But seriously, it sucks that your parents text like that o.O My mom learned on her own, my dad on the other hand..... he just sends mysterious messages. At least none of them are like OP's.

Here's a helpful guide to mom's common messages: r u wrn wr/kln? = "are you wearing clean underwear?" u shd wr a swtr 2nte = "you should wear a sweater tonight" Y? dnt u fnd a nce :^$ gal n setL dwn? = "why don't you find a nice Jewish girl and settle down?" u l%k thin. RU e@tiN proply? = "you look thin. are you eating properly?" i jst spoke 2 ms Johnson. u knw, hr hubby isa 2thDr. Her boy, Henry, u remMbR him, u 2 uzd 2 play drs n nurses ot n d bac shed 4 hrs, Nyway Henry S doiN accountancy. She wz sAyn dat Henry's cuz, Mildred, uzd 2 liv 3 streets awy frm d skool we almst sent u 2.... = "i just spoke to Mrs Johnson. You know, her husband is a dentist. Her boy, Henry, you remember him, you two used to play doctors and nurses out in the back shed for hours, anyway Henry is doing accountancy. She was saying that Henry's cousin, Mildred, used to live three streets away from the school we almost sent you to...."

Ha Ha I can identify with you. That was one mistake I made that can't be undone.

My mom did the same thing to me... I had to spend hours teaching her how to text efficiently...
