A few weeks ago, I let you have a glimpse into the email box of a 50 year old woman – – Me! It wasn’t pretty. So I decided that revealing my texts from this past week couldn’t be any worse. Disclaimer: I deleted all my complex Sext Texts rejects to this guy, Rex (you should see him flex his Pecs!) so I wouldn’t lose your respects.
Forget Vexing & Perplexing!? Where is My Sextng?!
1. We’ll start with my 16 year old – – needs no further explanation.
2. My Ex-Husband is still trying to move on. I once wrote a dating profile for him right here.
3. My 21 year-old son
4. In the middle of all this, I had a thoroughly delightful conversation with my younger kid’s teacher.
5. And then my own mother. . . she’s 72. Oh, and we’re Jewish. Need I say more?
6. So of course I had to do the right thing. Hmmph.
7. Naturally my “friend” Tiffany gave me lots of “empathy.” You can read more about Tiffany HERE.
8. And the other 21 year-old son now. (Yep, twins)
9. My own Mother once again texted (obviously recovered enough to get out and about) so I decided “if I can’t beat ’em, then I would join ’em!”
10. And I’ll close with another text between my teenage daughter (miraculously not about shopping) – – I initiated it this time!
So there you have it – – My Racy Text Life. And how’s yours these days???
Very good and funny post. I never understood texting until I recently got a smartphone. I was in the grocery and I got a text to get a particular item.
That’s when I realized i didn’t actually have to speak out loud in public (or private for the matter) to anyone!
Unfortunately the buttons are too small for me and my eyes don’t always see what I’m texting.
My typical text looks like “OK I’lm getr som fr dinnor. Do you wnt tona flesh?”
Anyway, I’m riffing off of your inspired post. You’re good! 🙂

Certainly LMAO. Brilliantly clever and amazingly funny. Now you are a true professional at this. I come from a big family and I TOO have a Jewish mother. So a few of those scenarios hit very close to home. You did great at capturing these every day scratch your head and wonder are these people actually related?? I’m sure many of your readers have had some of those. Unless, well . . . unless they are the source of the absurdity and in that case they probably would not get half the humor. Funny, very funny. Thanks for once again adding some levity to my week.
