Chastised by my son

The following is a text conversation between Jeffrey and I:
Mom: R U home tonite?

Jeffrey: Yes

Mom: Can you put lasagna in the oven? I think it takes 2 hours to cook.

Jeffrey: Uh...fine.

Mom: Gee don't sound so exited.

Jeffrey: You realize you don't speak english when you text?

Mom: How is that not english?

Jeffrey: You use letters not words

Mom: What if I don't know the right letters? Rewrite my sentence (Here I thought I was supposed to maybe shorten more words, what do I know)

Jeffrey: You say R U all the time! Instead of are you. You even have a keypad!

Mom: Oh. You're saying not to abbreviate. I thought you were supposed to. Hey, you say K all the time.

Jeffrey: K is something I say in my vocabulary (now he's using big words at me). Sometimes I say ok but I say k a lot.

Mom: There was another one you said this week, I just don't remember. So you're telling my I'm uncool?

Jeffrey: Bad grammar doesn't mean you're cool (ouch! That hurt!)

Mom: Don't forget the lasagna. Grumpy.

Jeffrey: I just preheated the oven. Mistress

Texting with Jeffrey is a blast.
