    Texting is a blessing and a curse in today's world — it's nice to just be a few buttons away from my family and friends, but I can also feel like I'm a little *too* reachable. Still...there's nothing like looking down to check your phone and seeing the silliest text from a friend or the spiciest homemade memes being cooked up in your group chat.

    Here are 23 of my fave texts that people on the interwebs have gotten that'll convince you texting is actually our greatest invention.

    1. I think the kids are going to be alright.

    A child tells their mother they threw up in the toilet, the mother is concerned, and the child sends a picture of a DVD of the movie Up in the toilet

    2. Even if they have to explain their sense of humor to their parents sometimes.

    A parent asks what "mood af" means, the child says "mood as fuck," and the parent asks "why did you comment that under a video of a gorilla throwing his own shit?"

    3. Looks like there was a *slight* misunderstanding here.

    A person's dad says someone transitioned today, the person congratulates them, then the person's sister clarifies that their dad means the person died

    4. And here.

    A grandma asks why her grandchild is talking about not having nut in November and that she needs to know if her grandchild has developed a nut allergy

    5. Aaaaand here.

    Someone asks if their friend has had a cereal bar, the friend says yes, and the first person asks how they work with a picture of a cereal bar submerged in a bowl of milk

    6. And here, lol.

    Someone asks "Is you good?" the second person says "not really, things have been hard lately," and the first person says "Oh, I meant the show"

    7. I didn't even need to look at this person's handle to know this happened in New York.

    A long text chain with friends discussing getting a shared cat named Fat Bastard in order to solve a mouse problem

    8. Does finding this funny mean I have a dark sense of humor? Oh well.

    A person asks their spouse to get a card on their way home because their coworker's mom died, the spouse sends a photo of a card with a dog wearing a sombrero saying "adios," and the first person says "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

    9. Texting: the perfect place for dad jokes.

    A dad says he walked through a dangerous neighborhood and met a pot head, their child reacts with concern, and the dad sends a picture of a wooden figure on someone's porch that has a pot on its head

    10. Parents really are the best texters.

    A mother texts their child asking what young people call cum, the child says "nut," and the mother says "like nutting on you, I'm gonna nut?"

    11. I'm honestly impressed with this dad for knowing the celebs and the lingo.

    A dad sends a TikTok screenshot of someone with their hand over Harry Styles' butt on a red carpet, and the dad says "your boy getting manhandled, it's giving scandal"

    12. Though others are a *bit* clueless.

    A dad asks if their child saw the movie Cry Macho, the child says yes they loved it, and the dad says "okay thanks dude love you"

    13. Like this poor mother, who is trying to learn.

    The mom asks "who is Billy Eilish" but she spells her last name like eyelash

    14. Some extremely rude siblings like to take advantage of how clueless their parents are.

    A text from a kid's dad says "kys," the child freaks out, and the dad says "your brother told me to send it to you, it means kiss yourself"

    15. I desperately need to know the context of this.

    The texts say "OK, listen, your vibes were off at Applebee's"

    16. Serious discussions happen in the family group chat.

    17. God forbid you have a typo in the group chat, though. Things can go from wholesome to vicious in a matter of seconds.

    The first person in the group chat tries to tell everyone they're getting a root canal, but they type toot canal, and the whole family tells jokes about how much their butt will hurt after their toot canal

    18. Absolutely brutal.

    Someone sends a photo of a picnic they're having in a field, and their dad simply replies "significance?"

    19. I mean...he has a point.

    Someone says "you cheated on your girlfriend with me" and they reply "Kobe died, you have to understand"

    20. This is modern love, and I'm here for it.

    A caption says "most guys ask for nudes, but my boyfriend" and then a screenshot of her telling him she's getting in the shower and he asks for a photo of her hair in a giant spike

    21. It's a valid question.

    Someone says they finally got off work at an infectious disease lab, and the other person responds "like you make the diseases or are against them?"

    22. As is this.

    The first person asks "do you unironically live in Kentucky," the second person says "how could you live somewhere ironically," and the first person says "like you live there, but in an ironic sort of way"

    23. I know this has got to be fake, but I still find it so funny.

    A text from a food delivery service shows the food was dropped off, and it's an edited picture of the person receiving the food, and the delivery service says "made your butt bigger"

    24. This guy didn't even need to send a text to make a would-be sad message kind of hilarious — the thumbs-down react was all he needed.

    The first person asks someone on a date, the second person gives a long response complimenting them but saying they don't see a future, and the first person simply uses a thumbs down reaction

    25. This person similarly got broken up with Echo, and I'm sorry about the breakup and all, but this is objectively hilarious.

    The person's S.O. breaks up with them over text with Echo, so they keep being sent the text "I think we should see other people" over and over again

    26. This is honestly an A+ response.

    The first person says "I never stopped loving you, but that's just something I'll have to live with forever," and the second person responds with a cartoon shark with a mushroom cloud coming out of its head

    27. And finally, this check-in a woman had with her fiancé ahead of the wedding is actually me.

    The woman asks "we still on for tomorrow" and her fiance responds "for the wedding?"
