I’ve been struggling with a few aspects in my life, and recently my Dad has been reaching out to bridge the cultural/generation gap. He started to learn how to text and I received a text that read exactly:

“U mom get job anne u is my hope what even do not worry keep happy everydays keep eye on he farway what even u want i am support”

Another night, my dad saw me walking to my car at midnight and thought I was sneaking out when I was only trying to get baseball tickets from a friend. He decided to come with me and then shared his philosophy on life:

“Bitter first, sweet later. Cannot run away!”

I love my dad!

I don’t talk to my dad often while I’m in school, but I was panicking about my immense amount of work and, seeking reassurance, had the following text conversation with him:

me: So I should just be able to work all night and get it done, right?

(a minute later)
me: Well?
Dad: I hope so!

(7 minutes later)
Dad: A hole in the ground with water in it.
me: What??
Dad: A well.

I asked my dad if he remembered my mom’s birthday, which was last week, via text.

Dad: I forgot…
Me: Me too. What should I do? Should I write her an email
Dad: Have some action tonight.

I think he meant “take action”…

My parents and I were on the way back home from the grocery and decided to pick up my little brother from school along the way. Because I was driving, I asked my dad to text my brother asking him to come to the neighborhood next to his school. My dad brought out his reading glasses and was intently texting 15 minutes straight.

My brother comes out of the school laughing with these texts in his inbox:

Dad: Test.
Dad: Come hond.
Dad: Come hood.
Dad: Test.

Shawnsmohawk

The picture is of our friend, Shawn, with his temporary mohawk (which he’s going to buzz after this weekend). He sent the picture to his dad via a text message, and this was his dad’s text response:

“What up! Are u going to indian war?”

My dad is pretty adept at using his cell phone, but rarely texts. My mom can barely make a phone call on one. My dad texted me this on my last birthday:

hapy birfday

Ten seconds later, to my surprise, I got a text from my mom. I opened it and read this:

hapy birfday
