so i just got off the phone with emilia anderson. she likes to text message and send me myspace comments, or more especially, random myspace bulletin posts (which are basically email which you send to your entire address book, also known as SPAM). i get on average about 5 messages a day... quite a bit of chatting. we don't usually talk on the phone, i mean with all that electronic information what's there to talk about? anyway, i called her yesterday and left her a message to call back; and so she calls back, and the conversation is something like this...(cell phone rings)
charlie: hello?
emilia: hey.
C: emilia?
M: yea?
C: what are you doing?
M: nothing.
C: i guess you're calling me back?
M: uh-huh.
C: where are you?
M: in the car.
C: are you driving?
M: no.
C: so, you're in a car and you're not driving, and i assume that that noise is the sound of the car moving, so someone else is driving?
M: uh, yea.
C: so.
M: (nothing)
C: so who's driving.
M: um. my dad.
C: your dad's driving you somewhere? how's he?
M: (dead air)
C: are you there?
M: (nothing)
C: M?
M: yea?
C: you're with your dad? how's he.
M: good.
C: that's good.
M: uh-huh.
C: so how's your mom?
M: good.
C: she's good?
M: yea i guess.
C: You guess? When was the last time you checked?
M: um, friday. (it's tuesday)
C: i heard she's sick.
M: yea she is.
C: but she's ok?
M: i guess.
C: well, i guess if you're not too worried about her then i shouldn't worry either. does that sound right?
M: well she's pretty sick.
C: that's what i heard.
M: (nothing)
i'm laughing… she's so nonchaloir about everything
C: tell your dad "hi" and check in on your mom for me?
M: k
C: love you m!
M: yea, you too.

WOW! I don't think that I could remember a converstion in that much detail. Funny Stuff.
Oh the conversations of the Teenage......its like pulling teeth to get anything out of them. Now if they want to tease or torment their siblings they wont every shut up. These same kids will get into trouble at school for talking too much.
this is too funny. sometimes conversations like Em are just like this - but lemme tell you if she has an agenda, like getting new football cleats she gets straight to the point and makes sure she has an iron clad agreement including budjet and timeframe before she gets off the phone.
I thought I was the only person that had a hard time talking to some of the teenage grandkids. But when they get a little older they have a lot more to say :-).
