The days when text messaging was free seems so far away now. I remember when I got my first mobile phone in 1997, I was so aliw with the concept of text messaging. I had one other friend who had a cellphone so it was just me and him exchanging SMS until one by one, our other friends got on the bandwagon. So when they started charging, it felt weird, like the time they started charging for water, which was free for the longest time. I wonder if the time will come when we’ll be charged for air? Anyway, sometimes the inadvertent funny texts, the ones that weren’t meant to be funny, are the funniest.
