Texting in the Innocent 11 Year’s Old World

So, my nephew has some texting priveledges.  I know it seems strange that he even as a cell phone.  If it were my own kids, they wouldn’t.  But, his mother got him his cell phone so that he and his dad could communicate without any go-betweens.  So, the last time we had him up here without his mom, we made sure he had all of Cody and I’s contact numbers.  We made sure his texting also worked. 

So, earlier this week, I get a text that read:

“We had a power surge.”

That was it.  I texted him back but haven’t gotten any response (Thankfully, he’s not glued to his cell phone.)  What is that text suppose to mean????  Doesn’t he know he’s not suppose to leave me hanging like that.  I’ve no idea why he felt he needed to tell me that. 

It reminds me of Hurricane Ike.  We both were in Ike’s path.  I called them and I could hear the TV and a generator while I was also sitting in the dark.  He said he could barely hear me ’cause they were without power.  I told him he was sure lucky to have the generator.  I get this, “like duh” type of response. . .”Aunt Amy, we don’t have power.”  Clearly, this was his first hurricane. . .  I told him that I did not have power either but that I also didn’t have TV!  He said, “ooooooohhhhhhhh”.
