His thumbs must have blisters

Apr 03 2008

My son is emptying my wallet.

No, it’s not time to buy him a car. He hasn’t broken anything or gotten in trouble with the law or anything like that. Nope – he likes to text.

Three months ago I warned him he was going over his text messaging limit. Two months ago I said if you do this again, I’m going to make you pay the bill. Last month, he went over his 200 message limit by over 400 messages. I told him he would be paying me back the 40+ dollars I had to spend.

I got the AT&T Bill yesterday. Checked my son’s number because my bill was unusually high. 937 text messages. That’s better than 30 a day for the month of March – and he claims he never texts while he’s at school. Now I know why his homework is never done. He’s sending text messages to all his friends.

Needless to say, his phone has been confiscated.

One response so far

  1. I heard about an article last week that claims too much text messaging can be a sign of mental illness.

    So can breathing.
