asphaltcowgrrlOr maybe just my kids?
So, last night, I was reading an email from a friend and she committed one of my biggest pet peeves. She used 'text' as a verb but didn't conjugate it like one. In other words, she said, "Connie text me to say..."
No, no, no! She TEXTED you. SHE. TEXTED. YOU.
LOL
Yeah, I know this is stupid and petty, but when you like to nitpick and criticize other people's grammar and spelling, you probably shouldn't be making such a big mistake. And I'm not talking things that are obviously typos or difficult grammatical rules. This is simple subject verb agreement!
Anyway... I'm telling this to Troy and Taylor last night and Tay sighs and says, "Man. Writers." She looks at me and says, "Yes, you."

Hope you're all enjoying your Saturday. I need to put on my big girl pants and go to the store. *sighs*
(Kinda surprised I didn't already have a 'kids' tag... lol)

Date: 2019-12-16 08:34 pm (UTC)Although apparently I'm already hindering my kids' strive for independence and keeping them from developing common sense and problem solving skills by taking their phone calls (which are rare) while I'm driving. According to someone I was having a conversation with this morning, I'm supposed to let it go to voice mail and if it's a real problem they can call 911. Because you know, when it's raining and the bus doesn't show, it's the HPD's responsibility to get my kid to school. *insert eye roll here*
So, I guess I am Beverly Goldberg - a failure as a mom! LOL
