nvm wrong persom
from an 808 phone number, Monday, December 27, 8:49 PM EST

This is impressive because it’s a double misdirected text. It wasn’t supposed to go to me, but apparently it wasn’t even supposed to go to this OTHER Leila. So I have no idea who might need this information about how 808 is gonna b at grandma’s. I’ll just put it on the Internet in case any of you find it relevant.

‘Tis the season. For sleepovers, because no one has school this week.

hope you had a good Christmas and happy new year love you bean
from a 603 phone number, Wednesday, December 29, 9:52 AM EST

My dad calls me bean! But this is not a text message from my dad. For starters, I don’t think he really knows how to text.

hernandez Hey do you wanna go skating with me on friday?
from a 303 phone number, Wednesday, December 29, 12:39 PM EST

I have received so many text messages invitations to go ice skating this school vacation week. I haven’t accepted any of them, because I don’t know any of these people. But I’m glad they keep trying to include me, anyway.

from a 757 phone number, Thursday, December 30, 1:15 AM EST

Whoops. I slept through the second of these two messages. I hope Leila made it home okay without my aid.

It’s overcast, pouring rain, and 48 degrees. I’m so happy right now
from a 315 phone number, Thursday, December 30, 9:55 AM EST

Wherever 315 is, it’s clearly not the northeast, where it’s sunny, 28 degrees, and everything is covered in fourteen inches of snow.

Hes bout halfway thru. doin ok so far
from a 724 phone number, Thursday, December 30, 5:57 PM EST

It kind of sucks to have your parents sit there, watching you take the SAT.

Leila estoy tratando de ablar con mi hija por fabor llamame o conteste el telefono
from a 908 phone number, Sunday, December 26, 10:16 PM EST

"Leila, I am trying to talk to my daughter, please call me or answer the phone."

BOOM. Who said I lost all my high-school Spanish skills? Guys, I hit this one out of the park!

from a 520 phone number, Sunday, December 26, 8:57 PM EST

I'm going to have to agree with your dad on this one count, 520: You are a crazy drunk.

Hi leila...Did mom like her earrings
from a 270 phone number, Saturday, December 25, 9:32 PM EST

Probably. As long as they came from the heart.

Merry Boxing Day!

Taste of thai now Debbie Fleming, CRS, ABR Realtor
from a 540 phone number, Wednesday, December 22, 11:52 AM EST

I can't tell if these are two connected thoughts (one about Taste of Thai, the restaurant, and the other about Debbie Fleming, the realtor), or, alternatively, whether this is a text FROM Debbie Fleming, and that is her sig line. Here's the scoop on Debbie Fleming. Does this clarify anything? Does it say "loves Thai food" on her website anywhere?

is it cioppino?
from a 775 phone number, Monday, December 20, 11:04 PM EST

In case you, like me, did not know what cioppino is, here is the Wikipedia definition. It's a fish stew developed in the late 1800s. Huh.

Can u pick up bread at clements on ur way back? I can tell u which loaf.
from a 401 phone number, Friday, December 24, 4:52 PM EST

One sign that you’re in an over-controlling relationship is when your spouse doesn’t even grant you the free will to choose which loaf of bread to buy from Clement’s.

barackman Omg text back already!lol
from a 917 phone number, Saturday, December 25, 1:21 PM EST

Is Leila really into our nation’s president, or, alternatively, is her last name actually Barackman?

Ahhh just got my ringgggggg
from an 860 phone number, Friday, December 24, 10:39 PM EST

Engagements are so exciting. Does the Leila Texts support picture messaging? I want to see a photo! As long as it is not a blood diamond, of course, as we are all socially conscious here on this blog.

hey! what are those pancakes called?
from a 609 phone number, Friday, December 24, 12:14 PM EST

Um, “pancakes”? Or, okay, “silver dollar pancakes”? Or “latkes”?

from a 515 phone number, Friday, December 24, 7:02 PM EST

515 has been trying so hard to say this thing to Leila. So hard. She is constantly trying to tell Leila this ONE THING. But what the hell is it? We may never know…

copy pants :p get it pants lol
from a 313 phone number, Wednesday, December 22, 3:18 PM EST

I know a girl (Sarah, of the Forever Young Adult blog) who is really into adding “pants” on to the end of everything. If this isn’t a text from Sarah, then it must be a text from her soul mate.

FWD: HELLO..LULU. HAVING FUN? HELLO 2 TAYLOR & HER MOM, PLEASE. LOTS OF SNOW? HOPE U JUST ENOUGH SNOW 2 ALLOW U ALL THE FUN U CAN HANDLE. XOXOXO BIRDIE

THERE’S NO SNOW YET, GRANDMA. Supposedly a blizzard today, though!

I am hoping to get in if u dont hear from me by 5 send dae a message. love you mum
from a 770 phone number, Tuesday, December 21, 3:59 PM EST

Didnot make it i am so sad.
from a 770 phone number, Tuesday, December 21, 406 PM EST

This seemed like a lot of strong emotions on the part of Leila’s mom, so I texted her back to say that Leila hadn’t received her messages, and that she should re-send them by pulling Leila’s name out of her contacts list.

Sorry not sure how.
from a 770 phone number, Tuesday, December 21, 5:18 PM EST

So then I gave up. If I hadn’t been at work, I might have called her and walked her through it, but as it was, I just didn’t have it in me.
