When my family switched cell-phone providers from Sprint to AT&T, we added the unlimited family text messaging package, because my mom knew that we liked to text a lot and she didn't want to pay any over-charges. So I taught my mom how to text message so she can do it whenever she could. And since then, she's been texting me almost EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's like I've created a monster. But anyway, here are some good ones that she sent to me, verbatim:
