Poor MOTH has a big reputation around here as a technological dinosuar. I've only just been able to teach him how to attach a file to an email & up to recently, he'd couldn't text. So the boys recently gave him a quick intensive texting lesson & suddenly, as per usual, he was Mr. Expert. He asked me the other night what sexting was, & after explaining it to him, I told him I've never received one & that at 53 & 60 our sexting days are probably over before they've begun!
So when he came home after work late Saturday afternoon looking very smug & asked me did I like his lext, I was very puzzled.
'What's a lext?' was the obvious question.
'Oh, that's my new word Mills, a lext is a Lustful Text, great eh.' he says.
'Silly me, of course it is Darling, that's an 'interesting' word.'
'I reckon it's a ripper & you were whingeing the other night about never getting one, so I thought I'd better fix that pronto. Pretty good wasn't it!'
'Well I'm not sure, 'cos I never received it Heart of my Heart.'
'Oh sure you did love, you're joshing aren't you?'
'Nup, no new messages on my phone - see.'
Gulp & lengthy silence.
'Um, exactly how explicit was this lext Sweetheart?'
An even bigger gulp & lengthier silence.
'Oh, you could say it was fairly 'descriptive' Mills'.
'So on the Sizzle Scale how would you rate it Dear Heart.'
Shuffling of feet & absolutely no eye contact.
'Ummmm about an 18 out of 10.'
'Ummmm about an 18 out of 10.'
'I think you'd better hand over your phone & let me see if I can figure out what's happened my little Lext Chicken.'
Fumbling of phone & agitated sighing.
'You do know that's not my phone number under 'Wife' in your phone Contacts my little Stud Muffin.'
'Oh #!*?!*, are you sure? I was fiddling around yesterday & accidentally deleted the last 2 digits of your number, but I could have sworn I put in the right ones again. I copied them straight off your business card.'
'Boyfriend, I can see you did that, but you've entered them the wrong way round'.
What followed can only be described as a true Kodak moment! So to the person who received a very suggestive lext by mistake on Saturday afternoon, please return it. By the look on MOTH's face, it will be the first & last one I'll ever not receive from him!!!
And to the boys - my endless thanks for not showing him how to take photos with his phone & attaching them to messages!!! Although if you had & he did, then you would have well & truly won this year's Perpetual Family Practical Joke trophy (read more here and here) hands down!!!! I reckon that lext would be No 1. on youtube right about now!

Oh poor MOTH, you can tell him I thought his post was fab now, I think he may need that little bit of extra encouragement!

ReplyDeleteWell Millie, MOTH has certainly proved the old adage "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" to be correct! Looking forward to his next adventure. Leigh

ReplyDeleteglad to hear you're feeling better. pam
Oh Millie, MOTH is priceless! No wonder you love him so much. Lee :)
ReplyDeleteMillie, I have a big smile as I am writing this, it is so funny!
ReplyDeleteMen and technology do not appear to be a good combination.....
How does that saying go.....you cannot teach an old dog new tricks :-)
Bon semaine,
Leeann
A lext, a text...someone somewhere has a big smile on their face Millie! xv
ReplyDeleteThis is, by far the funniest post I have ever read on the subject of texting. I got to get my wife over here to read it.
ReplyDeleteMy husband said to drop over and read this funny, funny post. So here I am, and it is hilarious. Poor MOTH, yes, certainly glad he didn't know how to attach a photo. Now what he did sounds about like something that could have happened in this house, IF he had a cell phone he could text with. Thank goodness we only carry a TracPhone in the car for emergencies. But you got to love him, don't you, he's trying hard to learn how to use these new contraptions. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh Millie, I am laughing so hard at this post.....oh my goodness!! Absolutely hilarious.....I love you and MOTH, better than any TV programme :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a restful week-end xo
OMG, this is THE funniest post Millie! Poor Moth, how sweet of him to make up a new word for you and a new phone number!!! Wouldn't you have loved to have seen the recipient's face when they found the text?!
ReplyDeleteThis is too Funny...has he had a Reply...maybe that's yet to come..lol...
ReplyDeletecheers
