Taken Out of ConTEXT?


Technology allows me to stay connected with my adorable children. Even when I don't really care to. I was about to clear my text messages on my cell and thought I'd share the following REAL, untouched examples of the tender messages my children have recently texted to me. Motherhood is so rewarding.

Hey ANSWER YOUR PHONE!

Mom i don't think i should be grounded just cause i didn't wash my hair...don't you agree...were you ever grounded cause you didn't wash your hair?

  3. I love how my kids who are in other parts of the house text me instead of coming to talk with me. Since it's such a great challenge to walk to another part of the home.

    On the non-sarcastic side it has been great to reach out to our children by text to see how they are doing especially when they are out with their friends.

  5. That's hilarious. My kids (one adult and one almost-adult) have cell phones but I don't. If only I knew what I was missing. :)

  8. I don't have a cell, either. Never have, never will. I have enough to occupy my senses without a phone to answer 24/7.
