The alpha You. The omega You.
My grandmother’s ghost, its girlish snafu
Basking in the waters of urgency.

Posted in Ishan Dubey by Ishan Dubey

A mother and daughter have a conversation, the daughter talking in cell phone text speak.

The conversation:
Mother: Beth Anne!
Daughter: WU? [What's up?]
Mother: Your cell phone bill is what’s up. All this texting.
Daughter: OMG, INBD. [Oh my gosh, it's no big deal.]
Mother: It is a big deal. Who are you texting 50 times a day?
Daughter: IDK, my BFF Jill. [I don't know, my best friend forever Jill.]
Mother: Tell your BFF Jill that I’m taking away your phone.
Daughter: TISNF! [That is so not fair!]
Mother: Me paying this bill, that’s what’s S.. N.. F.
Voice-over: Now too much texting is NBD. Cingular brings you unlimited texting. Just five dollars more a month.
