dear emily,
a few months ago i sent a text to my dear friend, annie, and
her reply was, "@#XTL&!" i called her and said, "oh sorry,
i didn't know that you didn't text!"
she responded, "i'm getting a lot better!" :)
we walk and pray together about once a week, and i am
always after her to recite the copious amount of scripture
she memorizes. recently, annie mentioned that she sends a
daily scripture to her precious daughter who lives far away.
i asked her if she could send it to me, too. when she
paused a second, i wondered if she knew about the email
'Cc column', but then she smiled sweetly and said, "sure!"
imagine my surprise the next day to receive a text of
scripture that filled my screen four times! my thumbs hurt
to think about it... and when had she learned to text?
"well," she said, "r. is working so hard and might not
check her computer but she always checks her phone."
i put that in the supermom category!
love,
lea

endearing cell phones
dear emily,
it worries me to imagine who my children love best in the world.
i suspect it might be their cell phones. not sure whether they
think of them in masculine or feminine terms, but am certain
they consider them in terms of endearment.
they fuss at me for not keeping mine with me at all times and
scold me for calling it a car-phone. does that hurt its feelings?
i hope not, because mine has been in the car for eight straight
days.
when i reclaim it, there will probably be an emphatic message
asking, "mom! why don't you ever...?" i immediately delete
those.
occasionally, one of my darlings will start a conversation
like this, " hey mom, how is your cell phone?"
is that a trick question?
it is tempting to respond, "oh, it's ok, but a little under the
weather."
if i really want to frustrate them, i might say, "great! but it
keeps making this annoying ringing noise."
hans just told me that if i don't turn it off while we are
flying, it will keep searching all day.
for what?????
love,
lea
