Please Don;'t text Me

Please don't text me. I am not very good at responding, and chances are my answer will be full of mistakes, and probably iI will mistakenly delete it twice bfore i send it. the levle of frustration involved is so high,  it's jost  not worht it to me, execially when the reward isso little. Talkig on the phone is alraedy a step wy FROM AN IN=PERSON MEETING. THEN THERE'S EMAIL WHICH AT LEAST YOU CAN EDIT, BUT TEXTING IS JUST SO SILLY.

PLEASE DON'T TEXT ME. Ooops, didn;t mean to yell!

My son has been texting me lately. he is 23 and I guess that's what they do these days. I want to be "with it" and so I read the messages and rtry to respond . alas, the best I can come up with is XXX because trying to say Ilove you or even I luiv u is so time-s0ncinsuming.  I wish he wiuld call.
