A few months ago I noticed The Teen frantically typing away on her iPhone, laughing hysterically. I asked her what was up and she kept saying "nothing...nothing." And then would break out into laughter again.
Now, the Mother in me figured she was watching something inappropriate on YouTube or making fun of someone in what could be a hurtful way, so I gently snatched the phone away to make sure all was well in iPhoneland... here is the "conversation" that I found -
Now, after *I* cracked up laughing and asked Sami when Taylor Swift changed up the lyrics and had a grammar crash course in your/you're *cough* I was superbly impressed with the girls creativity. However then this weekend as I was blog hopping to my favorite girl crushes bloggers I ran across this - Text Wars, Part 3.
So I thought I would borrow some inspiration from Roo and send one of my own.... ya know... cause I am cool still... right.... hello?
Yeah, so not only did I send it when the child was in a movie - that I KNEW she was going to - apparently I messed up a word... although I am not sure how that translates into the lyrics.... but then again she has probably only heard the "clean" radio version.
Either way The Teen and I agreed that Katie and Roo have the skills for Text Wars and well.... she and I don't. We will stick to just normal texting... and the grammar lessons.

The Thrift Store one has me cracking up!

Roo cracks me up! When my daughter is laughing hysterically at her iPhone, it's usually because she's photoshopped a cat head onto her boyfriend's body and instagrammed the pic. LOL

Okay that's completely hilarious. I love those emoji things but she is way better at using them than I am.

Love it! I was having a hard time figuring out the symbols at first until I recognized the lyrics. Love that your daughter and her friends know Journey! Glee fans?
Lynsey says
I GOTTA think her Mom helped with that one LOL
Paula @ Frosted Fingers says
Too funny! On one hand I can't wait to send texts to my kids, on the other hand I'm not ready for them to have phones.
Cristy says
I am thoroughly impressed that your teenage daughter knows Journey! Heck, MY mom is impressed that I do, and I'm 34ish. 😛
My husband and I randomly text war all the time, but nothing... NOTHING as epic as that! That was awesome 🙂
