Mmm I absolutely love autumn dinner parties.

I don't know, will we have to drive on the wrong side of the road?

i discovered your leila text blog when i was googling my sister named leila. what is even funnier is i found a recent text written from my stepmom
from a 908 phone number, Wednesday, October 13, 8:40 PM EST

Obviously this is not a Leila Text in the technical sense, since it's not a misdirected text message. It reached me just fine. Nonetheless, I'm sharing it here, because this is so cool! I love when this happens. And then people can finally explain to us what their texts mean! Like 908 told me that this one was about booking motel rooms for his sister Leila's wedding. So now we know! I also love that 908 got in touch with me via text message. That brings it all full-circle.

Family,

I assume Zorro is a dog, and the parent of this household is asking who fed him. And also, who fed Christian, since his lunch box is here. (Christian is presumably not a dog, though I guess he could be.)

It's always weird but I guess kinda cool to receive Leila Texts from Michelle Obama.

I told jen i would see if we had blue leggings, we do. If i wait for the sale next week they may be gone, with my discount they would be 43 dollars.
from a 614 phone number, Wednesday, October 6, 1:37 PM EST

I cannot conceive of a store where leggings cost $43 with an employee discount. That means they probably retail for like $90. I love leggings, but honestly. What store do we think 614 works for?

Not to be as superstitious as I am, but aren't you not supposed to tell people (including the entire internet) until the second trimester?

from a 970 phone number, Tuesday, October 5, 9:36 PM EST

This is the first time in my life anyone has ever told me, even inadvertently, that I "only get sexier with age." Thanks, Leila Texters.

I also heart acoustic guitars, I guess. Though not as much as I heart acoustic xylophones.

Maddy is demonstrating a surprising amount of self-awareness.

Poor Ash. There goes her dreams of Olympic glory. This is like an episode of Make It Or Break It in text-message format.

Hello to a couple of strangers that is out on sick. I wouldn’t want to grt you into trouble on office time…just thinking about the two of you… Mar
from a 607 phone number, Saturday, October 2, 10:19 PM EST

Leila has a secret office romance. Mar is their only coworker who knows about it. Leila and her secret bf called out “sick” so they could spend a romantic day together. Because your boss will never suspect anything when you’re both sick on the same day! Not unless Mar opens her big mouth, that is…
