Public Speaking Class NOT Public Texting Class

Daffy: Are you at the office?


TWS: Yes Babe, what's up?


Daffy: What r those guys that get those (insert misc. speak about my job whereby at least I know he listens when I'm working from home) like what's there technal name?


TWS: Pipeline engineering assistants or Midstream pipeline operators. PS- Keep texting like that and you'll be in an extra English class next session. (Grammar please?)


Daffy: Do YOu care if I ask YOu a few questions about them? See?


TW: No, what's up?


Daffy: What are some of the educational requirements?


TWS: Provided answer.


Daffy: What are the average earnings?


TWS: Provide answer


Several more questions and answers exchange phone screens.


Now it's painfully obvious to me that I'm providing him answers to questions that he should be researching in his "study" time at class. It's also a pass I'm giving him since his average in the class is a 99 and he's working on two extra credit assignments and the last day of class is tomorrow.


Daffy: Thanks for the help. I got a 98 and I also learned a few things I didn't know.


TWS: No, actually I got a 98 for doing your homework.


Daffy: LOL! Haa Haa.


TWS: Not near as funny as you having to do mine tonight, and you're in luck, it's laundry night, AND the beds have to be stripped.


Daffy: I was only playing


TWS: I wasn't.


Daffy: I'll do it.


TWS: I know.


Daffy: Going to eat my turkey lunchable. Love you.


TWS: I love u 2. (LOL) It's so not even cool when I try it.


Daffy: Nope.


TWS: Pick up dog food on your way home.


Daffy: Now that sounds like you.

Nice! I'll have to keep that trick in mind. Lately I've been waiting for one of them to tell me that their bored so that I can send them on their merry way to clean some part of the house.

Jax,
I bought the small bags because I was lazy. I send the Kidlet or BS for the 20 pound plus stuff.

I'm not sure why it is but my stepson and I communicate a lot better via text.

I think he puts "lol" to humor me when really he's rolling his eyes and thinking about how non-cool I am.

I love that he said "love you" - you are awesome!
