My 19 yr old son is a texting fool.
His cell phone is constantly beeping with a new messages - all from the same group of friends. I ask him...why not just pick up the phone and call your friends?? You know.. communicate with his VOICE. It's more efficient! He looks at me like im from some other planet as if to say 'Gawd...Voice communication is SO yesterday'
"Why would I do that??? he says. "Calling costs more in cell minutes.. "
I really wanna smack this boy! Honor student my butt.
I have to remind him that calling his friend from our HOME phone... to his HOME phone wouldnt cost either of them anything.
His reply: yea but we have unlimted texting.
ARRGGGG!!!
At least he's not anywhere NEAR what this girl!
