Parents and mobile phones, I mean for god's sake...

Just got a text message off my dad right asking me if I wanna go on holiday with him in the summer. He's got a new mobile so I didn't recognise the number so, seeing as I'm at work, I naturally phone the number to see who it is.

Dad answers and says he can't talk, he's at a funeral! So wtf was he doing texting his sons when he's at a funeral!? Did he not expect me to phone him or what?!

*taps forehead* Nutter.

:touch:

Us dads are allowed to do that kind of stupid thing... in fact it's part of the job description (which also includes dancing stupidly, telling crap jokes and scratching our balls when you bring your girlfriend or boyfriend round ;))

Wierd this, I seem to have lost all sense of rythm since my daughters were born.

It could be the fact that I now have to dance to the fecking teletubbies in the lounge or some equally as pants rubbish. (or maybe Im just crap)

LOL Granny, he prolly has a spare place now like, sorry :(

Why dont parents give you numbers anyway? Then when the text or whatever at least you know who it is from.

My Dad once texted my asking where I was and it consisted of

Will you be home for tea or are you eating out?

I texted back with my answer, when I got home he told me it took him nearly 30minutes to write it! :)

I got my darling mother a mobile "for emergencies".

1)she has no idea at all how the phone works despite my prompting her to -read the manual, -practice with the phone
2)the phone is "off" at all times
3)the phone is hardly ever charged
4)if the phone is "on" and I ring, because she doesn't know how it works I get her voicemail, then the vm texts her with a message that she has a voicemail causing her to call me in a panic that someone has taken over her phone
5)re point 4. she calls me with a normal phone to my home phone to panic, because the mobile is "for emergencies only"
6)how I weep :(

Texting from a funeral? Your Dad rocks.

My Mum has finally, after about seven years of having a mobile, realised that it's a good idea to leave it on so you can be reached with ease. Problem is she doesn't stop phoning me now.
