There was a lot of build-up to last night's sleepover. I would really like to know how it all ended up. What time did Leila arrive at 845's house? Did they get to go to the movies? Can someone please send a follow-up text?

Cn u share wordly wise with me? i 4got it :(
from an 808 phone number, Friday, February 17, 1:02 PM EST
When I was in third grade, we had to use the Wordly Wise workbooks to improve our vocabulary. For whatever reason, my whole class hated it. Even me. I was really into words, but I hated Wordly Wise.
The fourth graders also had to use Wordly Wise, and we could not stand the idea that, even when we finished third grade, we would still have to suffer through a whole other year of this thing. So I started a petition against continuing Wordly Wise in the fourth grade. Everyone signed it. Even kids who weren't in my class. I was not a popular child, so it was kind of surprising that people were willing to sign any petition originated by me. But I think it was clear that I was our only shot at undoing the injustice of Wordly Wise.
Once I had collected 100 signatures, I gave the petition to our third grade teacher, Mrs. Bond. She read it, and then she tore it into shreds. Right in front of me.
From this experience, I learned two things:
1) Public schools are not a democracy, and the Bill of Rights does not apply.
2) If you're going to present a petition, you should really make a photocopy of it first.
Until I received 808's text message, I had no idea that schools were still using Wordly Wise. I hope this Leila is having a better experience with it than I did.

No way. Really? Do moms talk like this? I know from the passive-aggressive mothering technique (love you, Mom!), but this is straight-up aggressive. Does that actually work?

These words are out of order, but I still understand 805's meaning. That's one of the amazing things about language.
Anyway, 805: No, I can't help you with a thing on the computer, unless it's like, "How do I make this word appear in italics?" Anything past that, you'd better just go to the Genius Bar and cry.

I considered calling 828 and chatting with her for a while, as per her request, but ultimately decided that might be construed as creepy?

Fire & Oak is a unique American Grill. Apparently they serve burgers. Maybe this Leila and 917 should meet up with this other Leila and 617 for some unique American burgers and fries?

If I ever went on vacation to Hawaii, I would definitely take the time to text every single person in my phone book, even those with names like, "David ?" and "Dermatologist," just to say "aloha." What I mean is, what's the point of going to Hawaii if you can't rub it in?

Duntley Can we chat at 5 i'm watching a moooovieeeee righ now ;) sorry lame excuse. hehe
from a 971 phone number, Saturday, February 11, 6:43 PM EST
It depends on the movie. For example, are you watching "Centerstage"? If so, then that's not a lame excuse. Are you watching "American Wedding"? That excuse would be pretty lame.

Tomorrow night (Thursday, February 16) I'm going to be part of a humor reading at Greenlight Bookstore, in Brooklyn. In addition to reading from one of my novels, I am ALSO going to do a live-action demonstration of The Leila Texts. So if you have always wanted to see this technology work "IRL," and if you live in NYC, then tomorrow is your chance.
