This is a story about a boy. Well, a boy who is growing into a young man. A boy who is 11. this boy has a cell phone...well it is actually his mom’s but he can use it to communicate with her.

There he is, isn’t he cute? And, really, he is a lovely boy, but as you would know....well....children say the darndest thing at any age.

And so it is even in this age of cell phones, face book and texting.....especially texting.

Thats me and my friend Kaari. The said boy above is her darling son. Kaari and I were out for lunch one afternoon when Jesse texted her to let her know that he was done with classes for the day. She texted him back letting him know that she was  wrapping up lunch with me and would be there soon to pick him up.

It was then that we decided that I would to shoot him off a text to have a little fun with him.

The following transcript is our text exchange:

C: Hey Jesse hows it going?

J: Sup watdo y want

C: Just wondering what your doing

J: Nothon much im just goin over to nix what er u doin

C: Do you know who I am?

J: Sorry so much i thought u were a guy from school so sorry your number came up as a number I thought  was one of my friends so sorry

C: I am with your mom she is coming to pick you up right now

J: Ya so sorry bye

LOL so busted. Kaari and I had a good laugh about.....one of those tears flowen’ kinds of laughs.

Oh so good...

But, really, just to top it off, you should have seen him when he had to come for a haircut this last week! Just a little embarrassed...poor poor Jesse, couldn’t even look me in the eye. Had to give him a big hug before he could relax and chat like usual.

Just had to share that one.
