The Accidental Early Morning Text

Grandma Stella recounts a humorous morning mix-up when she accidentally sent a video to Andrea instead of Kelly. The exchange that followed highlights the perils of early morning texting and the importance of a phone’s mute mode.

I received this from Andrea on March 3, 2020, after I sent Kelly a video, but sent it to her erroneously. Andrea sent her reply at 7:30 am. Actually, I had sent the video after Kelly woke me up by clearing his throat loudly after he went to the bathroom. After that, I went downstairs for a cup of tea. Matthew had come for dinner the night before, and there were some dishes left unwashed. I washed them before I went upstairs with my tea.

She: Thanks. But please next time don’t send it at 4:30 am. Maybe you couldn’t sleep, but we could be sleeping at that time. Thanks

Me: I am sorry. This was not meant for you.

Andrea: Thank God Kelly got his phone in mute mode.
