I don't know if I can wait. Maybe. Go where?

Car on 6th @ 15th
from a 201 phone number, Wednesday, April 8, 11:06 AM

Could be a text occurring right down the road from me. I live very close to the intersection of 6th and 15th. Of course, could also be a text occurring in any U.S. city with gridded streets. The only way to tell would have been for me to race down to the corner of 6th and 15th to see if there was a car there or not. But I am sorry to say that I fell down on that job.

This sig line has gotten a lot more complicated in the past few months.

Do we think this is from Leila's mother? I feel like your mom shouldn't be allowed to text you while you're at school. It sounds like it would really cut into your independence, which is limited enough when you're 10 years old.

from a 310 phone number, Monday, April 6, 6:13 PM

Could be anywhere. Doesn't every city have a Bedford St? New York alone has at least two.

Do me

ahahahaha probs my favorite text of the week. I'm mature like that.

Dont Call Moms phone Cause i have it
from a 313 phone number, Saturday, April 4, 10:06 PM

Just from all the capitalized words here, I had hoped this would be some take-off on Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, a film that includes one of my all-time favorite lines ("What is it, Carolyn? Something?"). But, um, it was not.

hey bad news i cant go to your game because i am going to go and hang with nick west so text back
from a 609 phone number, Saturday, April 4, 11:30 AM

So, usually, 609, when blowing off a friend, you're supposed to tell them you "feel sick" or "have a lot of homework" or "a family thing," even if you're really just going to hang with Nick West. Your friends don't exactly like to hear that they mean less to you than Nick West, you know? This can be a lesson to all of us, if we interpret "hanging with Nick West" to be a metaphor.

I know this is short notice, but bring ur bathing suite, and a towel to my party.

from a 408 phone number, Saturday, April 4, 1:35 AM

How popular Leilas were this weekend! I hope all my fellow Leilas have a number of bathing suits they were excited to wear this past weekend.

FWD: im in trouble the benicia police were at my house
from a 707 phone number, Thursday, April 2, 6:09 PM

Benicia! But seriously, 707, what the hell did you do? The POLICE? And I hope you weren't texting Leila because you thought she could like bail you out or something. Because she cannot. At least, not until she gets this text message.

We r back. had a great trip. talk to u tomorrow. gail
from a 619 phone number, Thursday, April 2, 12:04 AM

I wonder where Gail went?

maloney FWD: Um funny cute talk good personality
from a 215 phone number, Wednesday, April 1, 8:55 PM

This girl. She's in the Philadelphia network on facebook, and 215 is a Philadelphia area code. More obviously, that is the only Leila Maloney on facebook and possibly in the world. Having spent a lot of time thinking about Leilas, I can say with some authority that "Maloney" is not a common last name for them.

Anyway... Are we talking about a guy here? Are we saying he is funny, he is cute, he talks, and he has a good personality? Or he is funny, he is cute, he talks good, and he has a personality? Whatever. He sounds like a keeper.

FWD: Hi iwill be in LA tommorow haha actually i am with sara now come and join us
from an 818 phone number, Wednesday, April 1, 5:41 PM

"haha"?

hey you need to know something
from a 609 phone number, Wednesday, April 1, 2:57 PM

Yes? I'm listening. You have secured my attention. Is there a follow-up to this text?

What was 4 social studies homework
from a 650 phone number, Tuesday, March 31, 9:15 PM

Points to anyone who has a theory as to what role the numeral 4 plays in this message. I guess if you remove the first letter from the word "four" you wind up with "our." Does that explain it?

Has she said.
from an 832 phone number, Monday, March 30, 5:11 PM

No. Has she said what? No, I doubt it.

from a 201 phone number, Monday, March 30, 9:25 AM

Oh, no! Feel better, 201. And I'm sure Mr. C will understand your absence-- that is a damn good excuse for absence.

Thanks for dropping the girls off last night!
from a 646 phone number, Sunday, March 29, 4:26 PM

You're welcome! It was the least I could do.

This is a toast to us! For those who love us, the bitches who hate us, and the lucky muthafukas who get to fuck us! Toast me back!
(IM THE BITCH)
from a 513 phone number, Saturday, March 28, 12:53 PM

If the people who fuck 513 and Leila are muthafukas, does that mean that 513 and Leila are both muthas?

hey whatz up .are you wearing make up tonight
from a 609 phone number, Friday, March 27, 5:01 PM

Ideally, if you're wearing make-up properly, people won't even really notice it. Ideally you'll just look like a prettier version of yourself. So you shouldn't have to inquire into whether your friends are wearing make-up because you're afraid that you might be the only one-- if you do it right, people will process your make-up-wearing only on a subconscious level.

It kind of reminds me of this text of yesteryear. Teenage girls spend a lot of time worrying about this.
