baby boomer meets cell phone

Ever since my dad started texting a few years ago, I have received some pretty funny texts.

In the beginning, it was a learning process for him because "my fingers are too damn fat for these small keys" and his messages were garbled with letters and numbers and I needed to decipher his cryptic messages to understand what the hell he was saying or asking me.

As time has gone on, he's gotten a lot better, even better than my mom. My mom responds with "YES" or "NO THAnks." (I still can't figure out why she turns the caps off and on.) My dad can almost keep up with my fast texting too. I may send every two messages for every one he sends.

While sitting at work today, I received the most hiiiilllarious text from my dad in history.

Text: "Do you have a pair of christian louboutins. They are only $2,000."

My jaw dropped.Whhhhhattttt?


So, let me break this down for you, readers.

My dad spelled Louboutins right???? My dad doesn't know shoe brands and he sure as hell doesn't know one of the top designer shoe names.Ah, the power of the Style section with the Plain Dealer.


I explained to my dad that a pair of black pumps are an essential item to any closet. 


His response: "To add to the 50 pairs of shoes you already have?"


Correction - I don't have that many.


What's the funniest text you've ever received from a parent?
