My 15 year old grandson inadvertently texted me this morning – instead of his mom. He was just advising her that he and his sister we’re at home but would be leaving for school soon, to get there by 10 am. Then he realised his error and sent another text to me saying “sorry” …
Here is my text reply – which I thought, for an old codger, at 8 am in the morning, before my caffeine fix, was pretty good.
