Higher education, ripping us off with the cheap produce! This is hysterical.

The most recent from my college age son, “I’m a lawyer not a cat!” I’m trying to imagine the context I get it. Remember the lawyer with the cat filter on Zoom a few weeks ago? I just looked at my kids’ latest texts and they’re boring but nice. Just “I love you”s. But my all-time favorite text I ever got from my youngest was when they were in high school and I texted to see if we had relish at home while I was shopping for an upcoming barbecue. The response was, “Nobody gives a fuck about relish. Relish is for squares.” So random and silly and I still crack up every time I think about it.

The washing machine pipe is leaking and I don't want to be a homeowner anymore

Geeez I am so glad I am not the only one who gets random, weird ass texts from my kids. It's not that they aren't important, just odd when there is no context
DD #1: The lady who keeps posting notes on the door is so annoying
DD #2: How would you define significance

Fun thread! DD: Is that snow? Can’t relate it’s 78. (In response to a snow shower video I just sent. She lives in Atlanta)
DS: Oh God No! (In response to a butt texted “Q” from me)

I love this thread. I know texting is no substitute for a real convo but I love interacting with my kids throughout the day.
DD22: No, give that away (We’re cleaning out her old closet) DD20: Sure (She works at Ikea and I asked her to pick up one of those rainbow bags)

My mom-in-law gives us cash every month to pass along to my college-freshman daughter for spending money. So her last text to me was “Can I get like half of my allowance put on my card?”.

DS1 - 'still waiting on my midterm grade. Also need to pay for my ring'. (he just took his midterms and is ordering his Tech ring)
DS2 - 'you will have to meet with the moving people so they can get my stuff.I hate Covid. No date yet but I will be in Hawaii before my crap gets there.' (he got his first duty station and cant come home before he leaves because of Covid)

My DD sends me essay-length texts most days, while most of the time I'm lucky to get an 'ok' rather than just a 'k' from DS! Although his last text was " I fell down the stairs rushing to get the landline but it was a robocall so I just screamed at it, and hopefully someone will hear it and feel bad. Oh, four deer just walked past the window!" (DS has ADHD and is easily distracted, even it would seem, in texts!)

I don't have kids, but the most recent text I sent my mom was about her getting hit by an ambulance when she was a kid.

DD1: Not sure what time I'll be there (STORY.OF.HER.LIFE) DD2: Oh good! He'll be so happy you found it. It's to his journal. (I found the key for DGS's journal) DS1: What kind of money laundering do you need me to do? I'm busy during the week DS2: We lost our last match. We're going to hang out at the school for a while with Mr. K. (single elimination in their state quick recall tournament. They are usually a very strong team but this year has been a struggle. Damn Covid!)

dd: Do you know how to screenshot photos on your phone? Press the power button and the top volume button at the same time. me: Yes I just took a screen shot today so I still remember I love how she asks me and then just assumes I need instructions. Usually a safe bet!

DD(23) "I'm coming down" DS(22) "yes" His was in reply to "dins is ready and can you walk the Bella or are you in class" which left me thinking he was in class and I was walking the pup. It was a "yes" to both.

20yo dd wanted to trim her bangs:
"Well now I have to wait who knows how long to trim my hair cuz dad's taking his sweet ass time taking a stinky shit"
We have a total of 3 bathrooms. Full of attitude this one.
27yo son who's house went on the market Friday (1500 sqft starter home listed for $380K which is crazy high, but that's the market right now):
"Are you sitting down? We got a full cash offer from a 'sentimental buyer'. Old lady whose husband passed away. He was English and she likes that our street is English Drive. Her offer is $445K and will go up to $465K if someone tries to outbid her tomorrow."

DS 1: “I’m hungry” DS 2: “DQ. If you do go get me the highest count of chicken strips and they probably won’t have what I want but I would get the pumpkin thing but its out of season so I’d like a mint shake.”
Can you tell I have twin 13 year old boys?

"You have to check out this video." My oldest two are 14 and 18, and I get that text all day long. They want IMMEDIATE feedback, even if I'm in the middle of a meeting .

"I was home but left"
Turns out it was meant for dh.
My last text from him was "And you are more than welcome to be a hop on as you like"
In response to me congratulating him on his decision to hit the beach after work to watch the sunset.

Thank you for teaching me how to do basic household tasks.
That's from my college age son who apparently is struggling with his roommates😊

"Weird. Try putting it in the fridge?"
She and I made body butter the week before with ingredients she brought over and using her kitchen scale. Simple recipe, lovely texture. Only difference between the two batches was that the one we made together used almond oil and I replaced that with jojoba oil.
It would not set after sitting for around 12 hours. It took less than 5 hours with the first batch...

DD19 is a girl of few words. This is her reply after I asked her a few questions about her upcoming move from residence to a house and her furnitures needs.
“I’m not sure and I’m not sure and sure and they’re moving to a different house”
DD20 and I text/share pix a lot. Our last exchange was me sending her a picture of a children's board book called “Feminist Baby Finds Her Voice” to which she replied “lol” She is graduating this year with a BA in Soc and this book is right up her feminist studies ally.

Grandma, your grandkids miss you! If you aren’t doing anything you can come get them.
Ha! This grandma is enjoying a very quiet Sunday.

DS: Frozen to death and died.
DD:👎
The snow and wind is crazy here and my son decided to walk to work instead of try to drive. There hasn't been any snow plows around our area and we only live about half a mile from his job. Hopefully they will close early too. I told him text so I know he got there ok.
Thumbs down was DD's response yesterday from my message (within the house) to make sure she was awake to go to work.

Mine was a photo from dd...she's sending it to me to put in my weekly project life spread. It's a crocheted cow one of her best friends made and sent her. I like that she knows mom wants to include those types of things in my weekly album.

DS15 "Spicy deluxe medium medium" (Chick-fil-A order)
DS13 "My water bottle is empty" (from last month when he was stuck in his room with Covid, but if there was a crickets emoji I would have put that because I sent him two texts over the weekend and he didn't answer either one. That's not unusual for him; sooner or later he'll learn to respond in order to keep me from calling him!)
