a conversation with dad:
dad: hey, the Englishman keeps sending your mom text messages. do those cost money?

me: well, usually you get so many free and then they charge ten cents per message.

dad: oh hell.

me: what a weirdo.

d: there was this lady at the hospital, nice lady, and she was talking about a friend of hers who would only send text messages. and she said her phone bill the first month was 50 extra bucks because of her idiot friend.

m: oh that sucks!

d: yeah. she finally told her friend to stop it and just call her. i don’t get that at all. i mean, what the hell?

m: it’s just gimicky, i guess.

d: it’s like Morse Code. we pay extra to send Morse fucking Code to each other.

m: heeeeeeeeee! Morse Code!

d: seriously, it’s like we’ve gone back in time.

m: i hadn’t thought of it that way. but you’re on to something there.

d: Morse Code, man. deetdootditdootdeetdootdoot and for what?! why don’t you just CALL ME?! IT’S CHEAPER.
