Translation

If you've been following this blog, you would have noticed that my mom has her "text code" and can take a couple reads to fully understand. It makes her text messages unique and special.

Mom: "How r u"
Me: "good how are you"
Mom: "Ok bouring"

Translation: I'm ok. I'm bored.

Me: "I'm home watching tv"
Mom: "bouring"

At first glance, I thought she was calling me boring but after I asked, I realized that she was telling me that she was bored. I guess that part of the "text code" is to eliminate part of sentences.

Mom: "How r u"
Me: "I'm ok"
Mom: "Ok, where rs u!"
Me: "I'm out at dinner"
Mom: "Ok enjoed"
Mom: "Ok"

You would think that the time between her first text and my answer was at least an hour. No, it was a quick answer and I had actually just spoke to her on the phone 30 minutes prior to this text. I'm not sure why she texted me back with the 2nd "ok" - I guess she was just confirming that the conversation was over. Sometimes you need to double check.
