Text Pranks

I clearly have a texting problem. I have embarrassed myself countless times through the medium of text. It was already a problem. I didn't need any further help in order to eventually text myself into hiding. But my husband has discovered a way to make my problem even worse.

Apparently our smart phones have assimilated each of us into a collective in which actions done to one phone also take place on the other phones in the family. Resistance is futile. 

Mike discovered a way, which is complicated and outside of my grasp of understanding, to make certain words auto correct to other words when they are typed. When he makes this change on his phone, each phone in our family suffers the consequences. He decided it would be hilarious to "booby trap" words we use often. He does it randomly and without telling us it will happen so we never are able to protect ourselves. 

The first one he changed was "ok." A tiny, innocent phrase, "ok" suddenly became, "I went poo poo in my pants." This little phrase is apparently used by each of us more than might be expected. We have each fallen prey to this prank. We have sent it to many people, but Drake suffered the worst when he sent it to his boss. 

Then "Drake" became "Mr. Stinkerpants." This one trips me up most often. I have sent questions about "Mr. Stinkerpants" to almost everyone who knows me. 

Then "me" turned into "aliens." While funny, if Big Brother is listening in, I may soon end up imprisoned in a bunker below ground somewhere in Nevada due to all my activity with aliens. 

Just when I trained myself to type "okay" instead of "ok" to avoid the embarrassing poo poo auto correct, my son, Drake, who is too smart for my own good, changed "okay" to "no." That will confuse people.

My family, who knows me well, should understand that I am a danger to myself already. I don't need their help to complicate things.
