Tricky Texts

I volley between calling the love of my life "Tricky" or "Mr. Blueberry Pancakes" but just so you know, I'm talking about the same guy.

Tricky got a new phone about a month ago. We call it the Play Phone, as it looks and feels like a toy and is pretty wimpy, technologically speaking. (Though it does have a nifty little built-in flashlight feature which is rather handy!) In any case, texting on the Play Phone is not so easy.

For example: Mr. Blueberry Pancakes sends me a fabulous little love text - or sweet what-not, as he calls them - one night while I am away for work in Omaha. Ahhhh, how fantastic and wonderful my boyfriend is, missing me from over in Denver and texting to tell me so.

Barely a minute went by before I got another message from him that says "Just sent that to my dad." (HAHA!!)

Example 2: while making weekend plans last Friday, I watch Tricky text one of our friends the following:

"Pushing for tail on saturday"

WHAT!?!?! Oh yes, I did scream that loudly. Tricky went white and started stammering "VAIL! VAIL!!! My phone tries to guess what I'm typing and it picked 'tail' instead of the V for Vail!"

It takes all of 3 seconds before we are crying with laughter. Lucky for him, I know he's an angel and this is the case! But our friend does not and writes back "tail or vail? I know Liz has been gone for a while..."

Incidentally we met those friends to ski at Vail that Saturday and we laughed the whole afternoon referring to it as "Tail Mountain." ;) I kinda like Tricky's inability to text well on the phone. Between sending love notes to his dad and telling his friends he's pushing for tail, the Play Phone has proved to be pretty entertaining!
