On Texting

The 12 y.o.: So, were you surprised to get a text from me during school? We’re doing a unit on technology so the teacher let us use our phones during class. I was bored, so I texted you.
The Dad: Were you surprised that you got a text back from me?
The 12 y.o.: Yeah, I was actually. I didn’t think you knew how to text.
