Texting Is Totally Tedious

What about Monday? Not this week? Tuesday and Wednesday might work. Tuesday at 4, but you have to be back by 4:30. Sure. Shopping always takes me less than 30 minutes Not counting drive time. Thursday? No. She has track. What about Jeremiah? He cannot be first. Oh, yes, we promised her first dibs. What about today? I text back. “This afternoon.” “I will get right back to you,” she says. Text is so much more irritating than a simple phone call.

Yes, it is; and people really get radical about it. I have never understood the attraction and I text the kids in the family just so I can talk to them; otherwise, they hear nothing you say; they're too busy texting.

My own children will text; I have not heard two of their voices in about ten years.
