Father wants you to talk to you. Patience and understanding

Is this from Leila's superior older sister? Because I have to say, nothing makes me exhibit less patience and understanding than someone telling me that I have to. I'd be all, "God, I knoooooow, I was going to!"

"This is JJ. Where are you? Is Mama awake?"

Did I solve the word search?

"Mija" = a contraction of "mi hija," which is Spanish for "my daughter."
"Tia" = aunt.

See? Fluent, as usual.

Uh, Amy? No offense, but it was kind of obvious that you're using txt for the first time. Don't ask me how I knew, I just did.

Shot down! 808 is kind of annoyed with Leila and her last-minute invitations. Like, "I'm sorry to keep saying no... but not that sorry, since you never give me any notice, so really you bring this on yourself."

This is just flat-out adorable. Also I like when I receive a cryptic text (like one that says "yes" with one zillion 's's and exclamation points), and then I receive a follow-up text that clarifies what it refers to. That makes my job easier. Finally, I am glad to see that Leila DID get to sleep over at 717's, even though she never received the text message inviting her.
