Digits

The text message conversation:

Me: This is my new cell number ... save it.

803***1010 : Who is this?

Me: Easy E - the oldest of the crew.

803***1010 : What is your last name and do I know you?

Me: Connor

803***1010: Do you go to Pelion?

Me: Yeah the joint don't pop til I walk in the room in Pelion

803***1010: What school do you go to?

Me: Journalism school.

803***1010: I don't know you. why do you have my number?

Me: Funny

803***1010: I am serious

After the conversation with the young sister of the 12-year-old who actually owns this cell phone number ...

Me: Sorry about that young lady ... I thought I was communicating with my cousin but was using a wrong #. I'll fix it ... have a nice day!

Don't the kids of today call this a FAIL?

Epic FAIL.

Though it does tell me that your cousin is apt to "yank your chain" (I never liked that expression but I'm not sure you would understand my equivalent)

I'm also impressed that the young lady had the sense to interrogate you fully.

Another classic story, Eric. I wouldn't expect any less from a man who once wrote about shitting himself ;-)

To Catch a Predator, you must THINK like a predator. Kudos to the young girl.

eric, i would say "taking the mickey" which is, on reflection, even more illogical than "yanking your chain"

anyway, pull the other one, it has legs on.
