I Call Me Later

I know, I know...I haven't posted anything in a while - I'm sorry! I do have a couple good ones since my last post, so enjoy!
Although my mom has been in Argentina for the past 2 months, nothing really has changed. Since she has been there, she's become very impatient with my responses.

Mom (9:07 pm): "Jen what u doing?"
Mom (9:08 pm): "Jen what u doing?"

She gave me about 45 seconds to answer and I failed. I have become quite the speedy texter though.

Mom: "Hi jen did came from school?"
Me: "Yeah, I just got home"
Mom: "Ok I call me later"

I'm not sure how she was going to call herself later or why, for that matter. I think she's been in the country for too long and needs to talk to someone...and that someone is herself.

This one is probably my favorite:
Mom: "Call me is emergency"
Mom: "Call me is emergency im living now"
Mom: "Im ok"

Was she dead? And why is she texting in the middle of an emergency? I would guess that it would be easier and faster to call someone. As I'm receiving these texts, I'm trying to call her but her she wasn't picking up her phone (yet she was still texting...). She was probably mad that it takes me a whole minute to respond to text messages, so maybe she was bored and wondered if there was an emergency how long it would take me to call.

This next one leads me to believe that my mother has gone crazy. While I'm at work, she calls me and we talk for about 5 minutes on the phone. I hang up at 3:36pm. At 3:38pm, I receive the following:

Mom: "hi jen how r u?"
Me: "I'm ok. I just spoke to you 2 minutes ago"
Mom: "I know i decide to msg"

I recently received my phone bill and for 1/2 a month of my mom's international text messages, my phone bill went up about $50. The extra charge is only for the text messages. Since international text messages are $.25 each, that means that 200 text messages were sent. I'm certain that I only sent about 50. I'm so excited for the full month's charge...
