I now parent via text message.
I am treated to great and informative responses daily.
Like the one below...
Augie's answers to me are on the left.
When I get a "yes" as opposed to a "yep"?
I get all excited.
Please note that I actually got a four syllable comment.
It totally made my day.
Such a riveting conversation...
I clearly need to get a bigger life.
And, yes, I know I misspelled boy.

You could write a book: "Diary of a college life via texting" Riveting! :)
Gotta love that kid!!
My boy wouldn't have answered at all. Yours is a veritable chatterbox. Lucky mom.
Wait til you can send pix w/messages (iPhone updates this next week) ... imagine the fun, you'll actually be able to see the knives ... and guns
You should read some of my texts. They need an interpreter for sure! ha! Kids would much rather text than call. Go figure.
Parenting via texting...what's next? :)
Wow! Such communication skills! At least he hasn't decided that texting his mom is "beneath him" now that he is a college man.
My boys text me all the time. Love it!
He cracks me up. Ya'll are great.
Reminds me of my own two.
We are the family in the t.v. commericial sitting at dinner texting each other. The day my daughter actually spells an entire word out will make me cry with relief. "She CAN spell 'you'!"
I've been doing much of the same parenting lately! My kids love to text.
Oh God he sounds like my brother.
The longer they are there, the longer the messages get. I actually get e-mail from Spawn.
Years from now, I'll bet you're going to find out that in these heady first days of college, he also ran with scissors! BWAHAHA!
Praises be for texting, huh? What did parents in the old days do when their kids went to college?
I kept copies of everyone of our IM's when David was at ASU the first year. It's fun to look back.
THIS is better than nothing. Don't you just love the boy? ((Hugs))
How cool! I'm sure I'll do it someday!
But one more habit I don't need!
It seems to be the way of communication with today's youth. Odd, but it is what it is, mmm? We take what we can get.
I love it....he is so typical....I would be teaching at school and all of a sudden get a text from our son Z....it would go something like this...."why aren't boobs square?" I would have the hardest time keeping a straight face and keep teaching.....he always had a tuff question for me...hahahaha...love this kiddo!
Well at least he answered!
<><
I have had to go for the unlimited text messages on my cell plan :) At least you don't get yelled at!
"Playing with knives"....
That is one very funny bot.
I have had entire conversations with my youngest via text. He uses very big words and I find it difficult to keep up. Now I wish he'd text. Just a few words. **sigh**
Oh, and the playing with knives is hilarious.
I forgot how fascinating those conversations with the college kids are!
At least you text. Some of us are texing challenged. Some of us can't spell either.
"Playing with knives" LOL.. he's got his Mom's sense of humour.
I think Augie is my sons twin just in a younger body.
