I started using text messages when I discovered that my teenage son would text me back immediately. Before I became a regular texter, I would leave a voice mail message and it would be hours or days before he responded. He told me no one really talks on their phones anymore, but text each other instead. I use the text lingo but am still learning some of the shortcuts.
I am strongly against texting while driving. The caption under the picture says it all: "lol no im nt bsy im only drving"
