shootingstar Posted March 12 Share #1 Posted March 12 Rather cute to get enthusiastic short emails from a 14 yr. old niece. Every email to me, seems to have an exclamation mark. I was way more boring at her age, in self-expression in writing. Wonder when she will lose excitement. She is not a ditz head.. she takes taekwondo and probably towers 5 inches over me by now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted March 12 Share #4 Posted March 12 She’s the last 14 year old still using e-mail. (Unless compelled for school or work). Even my 62 year old brother has transitioned to text, but he still leaves rambling voicemails that always start with “Hello Jim it’s your brother John it’s 8:23 Thursday evening………” Extra dots to indicate the rambling nature of the voicemail. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn Posted March 12 Popular Post Share #6 Posted March 12 When my 14 year old granddaughter was little she would always send me texts on the way to church from the back seat on Nana’s car. She liked riding in the third seat and her sisters sat in the middle seats. Nana let her use her phone on the ride to church. Her texts were always nice to get. They would be something like this: Papa, I sure do love you 💓and Nana 😍. Who’s turn is it to go to lunch with you today? 🍇🍋🍓🧇🌭🍕🥗🌮🍔if it’s my turn can Cadence come too? She is such a sweetheart I don’t mind sharing my turn with her. And afterwards we can go for 🍦. Love Celia 😍🥰😘😘💓💓💓 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, my sister and hubby have been quite strict for her to communicate with anyone by email. Remember she is emailing to auntie who doesn't have a cellphone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About same for my wife, as she only talks on her phone. Send her a text and you might wait a lifetime for a response. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more me reaching out to her occasionally that gets short email exchanges. For now, she's captivated by some upcoming movies that feature Asian/Asian-American performers that are action-oriented, multi-universe and themes of underdog empowerment and...craziness/fun. She is biracial, daughter of sister-doctor and had been (hopefully not now), concern of parents because she's always been more comfortable chatting with adults instead of her peers. She will tell kids her age, if something is stupid, she'll say it unvarnished. That doesn't garner friends.. Ok, I'm happy to be the crazy aunt who goes cycling around and has a wierd blog.
