Well, it started back on my birthday Sept 2014. Co decided to surprise me with a Happy Birthday text.
My mother called me and gave me my annual, I love you, Happy Birthday. And I closed the conversation by saying, "Oh, thank Co Houng!" My mother laughed cause it was me getting back at her her always thinking I am Lisa or Melissa. I guess mom told Co and she decided to text me. I'll spare you all our text but the jist was she was going to practice texting more often because I was complimenting her on the fact that she texted.
Skip to last week. I always invite Co and Chu Hai to play the Super Bowl Squares with my family and after asking Jimmy to forward the squares to his mother for me, Co sent me a thank you with emojis. In my mind, I was thinking, she promised me she would practice and obviously 4 months later, she was kicking butt! (As Jimmy said, the mad face emoji...I took it as, she didn't like to depart with her moo-lah)
Side bar: It may be goofy but I do not care, I love my random text from Co and Chu. We grew up in a different era where Aunts and Uncles are a tad different and less hands on then the type of Aunt and Uncles we are to our precious Nieces and Nephews. It's obvious that each Uncle and Aunts love us but at the time of growing up, it was just a different set up and now that their kids are grown, we nieces and nephews get a little more attention from them. But I like to think I have something special with Co and Chu because they are the only Aunt and Uncles that actually have my cell number (not that it's special or anything). I got a text from Chu about two months ago with a picture of my mom and Co posing for a pic at the mall. It's priceless to me.
As for Jimmy, I need to know what kind of Smart Phone she has...That way I can get the same one for my mom and your mother can teach her....So I don't have to do it.
