My mom’s birthday was Aug 3. At midnight, I texted her, “Happy Birthday Mommy!” To my absolute surprise, I woke up that morning to a text from her that read, “Thanks.” A phone conversation followed later that day:

Mom:
Did you get my text message??
Me: Yes, mommy, I was soooo surprised. Did someone type it for you?
Mom: Nope, I type it myself.
Me: I didn’t even know you knew how to text on your phone.
Mom: Yes, I type in, “Thanks.” Actually, I just type “T”, and “Thanks” showed up. And I send it.
Me: Ohhh, you did auto-complete. You cheated.
Mom: After I send it, I told your daddy, “I should’ve typed, ‘I type it myself’ in the text.” Your daddy say, “That would take you a month to type.”

My mom always asks me to help her with her English, especially when it comes to her grammar and vocabulary. One evening while I am still at work, I see my mom on Yahoo chat and decided to say hi. With no immediate reply, I left my desk to attend to something else. This is what I see when I return 15 minutes later:

me: hi mom
me: are you there?
mom: mei
*** Auto-response sent to mom: I am currently idle.
mom: you
mom: you just testing my english, when i look the word “idel” i don’t understand what that mean. i have to check dictionary right away, now i know waht meaning
mom: that mean “nothing to do?” you have time?
mom: no answer?! okay byebye!
