I held off learning the art of texting out of pure laziness. Having a teenage daughter whose main goal in life was to save and purchase her own iPod ruined my plans of not joining the new texting generation. She downloaded a free *app that gave her free texting and started texting me from school. Seeing that my phone is a far cry from the latest greatest, I would fumble and tumble over how many times to push a number to get the correct letter to appear on my teeny screen. It was painstaking at first and sometimes I would get three texts from Makayla before I had the chance to get a response back to her. The fact that I had to pay twenty cents for every text sent to and by me didn't faze her. Cameron finally upgraded my texting plan after I reached my limit of 20 texts (four were from me) per month to 200 texts a month. Now I can text my mom who has been texting for four years. I'm thinking a nice phone upgrade would also be nice - hint hint. Perhaps an iPhone? :)
Here's a funny text from Makayla the other day....
La: Dear Mom, would you like to bring me my chapstick by any chance?
Me: I'm really busy right now (grating cheese on tortillas). Just ask the school nurse.
La: Haha!! I get it!!! I think I'll pass on the nurse. I'll survive the day.
*FYI: an app is an application that Apple calls third-party software programs that you can purchase for your iPod. Didn't make any sense to me either at first.

Que bien así yo podré enviar mensajes y recibiré respuesta. love mom
I was one of the lazy ones too and I would still rather email or phone but when I got my new phone it had a little keyboard and it sure is easier.
That makes me laugh! I'm not really into texting either, but I think that Jared would like me to get into it. I'm impressed that you're getting into it - even if it is just for the sake of texting with your daughter. Good for you!
