My mother just bought the iPhone 4S because it was “pretty.”
(for the sake of convenience and ease of understanding, my mother’s texts will be in red, and mine will be in blue)
Test my new phone
Hi mom
Hi
So do you like it?
Yes I am having fun
This morning, we had the following conversation (and I am not making any of this up):
How are u
Good! Having breakfast right now. What are you doing
Try to send me voice message (I think she wanted to test out visual voicemail)
Hang on. I’ll call you after I order food in a few minutes
On the way to work
I heard buck is depressed
Buck
Hugh
Buck
Buck
Huck
I mean your dog
My phone changes b
Buck t
I cannot type Huck unless capitalize h
Ha ha
I don’t know how to check voice mail
Jesus. Just call me
So at that point, my mother calls me, and we have the following conversation.
“Hi Mom. Just so you know, I was laughing so hard I cried, and I’m sitting in a restaurant right now and they’re looking at me like I’m crazy.”
“What? I can’t hear you. This phone is so stupid. Your voice is really soft.”
“You have to turn up the volume on the side.”
“I can’t hear you!”
“MOM. CAN YOU PUT ME ON SPEAKER PHONE FIRST?”
“Your voice is really quiet!”
At this time, I’m laughing so hard that I can’t talk.
“Your voice is getting lower and lower! I have to get Alex to help me fix this. Oh and then I kept trying to type HUCK but then the phone kept automatically changing it to B! Why does it do that?”
“It’s called AUTOCORRECT, Mom. It thinks you’re making a mistake so it changes it to what it thinks you’re trying to say.”
“Oh and also this Siri thing is stupid too! Last night I was playing with my phone and I told it to call JAMES. So it told me, ‘Directing you to your location.’ WHAT LOCATION?? Then it said, ‘You may now proceed to your location J-A-M-S. And then I told it, CALL JAMES LEE. And then it said, ‘I do not understand what you are trying to say.’ So I spoke louder and said, CALL JAMES LEEEEE, and it began dialing my attorney, Jim Gallaghan! STUPID!!”
