Am I being punked?

Last week, my teenager was on a school sponsored trip when I began texting him to find out the answers to many important questions. (I am almost fluent in 'teenager speak' and have had much success gaining information through the 'art of the text'.) Many questions were asked, only one reply was given.

'idk'

He thought it was really super funny.

On the way home from the spectacular school sponsored trip, the very same teenager began texting me a series of questions that he thought was important. (FYI - if you might need me for transportation purposes on a Saturday, then you might not want to 'punk' me earlier in the evening. Just sayin...) Many questions were asked, only one reply was given.

'Huh?'

He didn't think it was really super funny anymore.

At least I used a capital letter and some punctuation.

OOPS! I Did It Again.....

People, it is NOT save to text and drive.  That is a matter of fact.  And...in my case, on occasion, it's just not safe to think & text!!

I am one of the coolest people I know...this is another matter of fact (not up for discussion).  I love to surround myself, either in person or spirit, with other "coolest people I know".....hence Sassy and I are such magnificent kindred spirits.

Another kindred cool person with whom I stay connected is my rockin' older cousin, Rob (and she's a girl).  One thing she and I have in common that keeps us totally awesome is music!  Not just any music, either.....I'm talking the tunes that made the 70's, 80's & TODAY!!!  Y'all, not only can we sing these tunes like songbirds, but we can even SPEAK in song lyrics!!

How many of these songs and artists can YOU identify from our recent texting conversation???

Me:  Hey gurl!  Kool just rang in and says "Get Down On It!"  Oh, and Lionel said, "Sail On."


Rob:  OMG!  Lionel also said, "Still."


Me:  He also said, "Hello."  Also, Donny wants to be my "Soldier of Love!"  He's got such a "Sacred Emotion" for me!!!

Rob:  Oh, girl....it must be "Puppy Love."


Me:  Well, since I'm "Bringing Sexy Back," JT's all "I Wanna Rock Your Body," but Barry, Robin, and Maurice said they're just "Blaming It On The Nights of Broadway!"


Rob:  I think "Saturday Night Fever" has set in!  "Doctor, Doctor Give Me The News!"  I think maybe you stood in the "Purple Rain" too long!!!


Me:  I think we just need a "Vacation."


Rob:  Seriously.  After all, "We Are Family."


Me:  ...and totally "Bootylicious!"  Well, gurl....."It's Time For Me To Fly."  "I'm Leavin' On A Jet Plane."  Don't be sad "When I'm Gone."


Rob:  I thought I felt the "Wind of Change" blowin....I knew I'd be "On my Own Again" soon.  Hey, girl...."Never Surrender!"


Me:  "Knowing Me, Knowing You," we will "Never Surrender!"  


Rob:  "Go Away Little Girl!"


Me:  I'm "Gone!"


So, did y'all get all that?  WHAT'S YOUR FAVE DECADE OF MUSIC???  and.....CAN YOU "SPEAK" IT?????

Dyslexics UNTIE! (or is it 'Unite?')

Here are some texting "converSashens" between my sweet friend, who has Dyslexia--or, as he refers to it, "I HAVE A DISEASE, YA KNOW!!!"--and some of us who really love him.  (P.S.  I have total permission from his mother to post this info...but not from him!  Teehee!)

Sassy--huh?  (her texts and responses are always short and sweet!)

Sassy--Well 'wok' faster!
