So here we are again to delve into the maddening world of mistaken text messaging. Last time I told you the conversation took an unexpected twist. Immediately after my comments on boats came a curve ball. Note: Be prepared for a lot of two part messages.

Tida ask me to go over her house again because kim came over arent they tired of this I cant go every weekend I have kids I think about my family I cant
Message Received:
just drink every weekend this is to much I just dont want to answer my phone anymore I tired still not growing up yet
First of all where did that come from, I was talking about my love of boats! Second of all, this person has a family? Kids as in a multitude of offspring? And there's drinking involved? I'm getting in too deep here, I've got to somehow get even more ridiculous so this person realizes they have the wrong number.

Ok I know how hard it is, but I'm from the future. Don't get on that helicopter! You'll understand soon. :/
This one might be crossing the line. It's just so completely random that at least this person will have to question if I'm at all sane. Of course if by some coincidence this person was scheduled for helicopter lessons or something that was destined to go awry I may have just saved a life.
Message Received:
What u mean I think I know whar u mean but still tell of the meaning
...Whaaaaaaat? Seriously!? There is no possible way that you could even begin to think you know what I mean!! I'm at a loss. This person is truly remarkable. Alright, better pull it together and pretend that was some kind of analogy that relates to the topic at hand.
Message Sent:
The helicopter represents drinking. If it spirals out of control you will explode! Think of the children :/
Perfect save. That is one damn fine analogy if I do say so myself. And that uneasy face does a damn fine job of bringing out the urgency of the danger those children are in from that helicopter explosion. A damn fine helicopter explosion.

Of course my kids come first not the dam drinking and I dont have that kind of money I work hard before I spend I pay me bill first not partying every we
Message Received:
ekend I get sick and tird if I want to drink I will drink at home
Ok now I think I've offended this person. Apparently any implication that a person's children come second to crazy drinking sprees causes them to get defensive. Who knew? I better smooth things over and show that I care.
Message Sent:
I know you are doing right. I just like analogies, and boats :/
A little reassurance goes a long way and analogies are the tram that aid you on that journey. Also I really need to drive my point across that I enjoy myself a good boat every now and then. That uneasy face is my reaction to this person just not understanding my needs.
Message Received:
Have fun ok and thanks for everything that u have done and be there for and when are your parent celebration for them in spring?
Hmm, it seems my natural charms and friendly nature are just too strong. I've managed to help this person through a problem they were having even while being a jackass. I suppose at least I can rest easy knowing I've done my good deed for the day. But that last part worries me, what parent celebration am I supposed to know about in the spring? I certainly don't want to be responsible for this person missing out on a parent celebration.
Message Received:
Way are you not sleeping yet? Talking to someone specially ha? Don't forget about the ring ok
I don't even have time to respond before I am bombarded with even more questions! This particular portion of the conversation took place at around 9:46 pm, so apparently I'm usually sleeping at this time. I'll have to come up with a reason for that. The next question I find amusing because I assume someone 'specially ha' means someone hilarious. I was talking to you! Are you hilarious? There's your answer. And now a ring is involved, one that I'm not to forget. Perhaps I'm supposed to keep it secret, keep it safe? Perhaps I'm in charge of maintaining a wrestling match? Perhaps I'm going to die in seven days?
Will I give the details regarding my parent celebration? Will I reveal why I wasn't sleeping? Will I forget about the ring? Find out next time in "Celebrations Ring True" or "The Easy End of Uneasy Face"! :/
