Hilarious Texts From Grandparents

Grandparents' texts are entertaining to receive because they often break the rules of texting. Your old folks have better things to worry about than waiting to reply, so they just send their thoughts. As people get older, they have less time to waste, making their texts humorously concise. A 21st century technology like an iPhone can be baffling to elderly wit. Texts from grandma, who wants to make sure you have enough to eat, are a joy to read and can be interpreted in many ways, depending on her familiarity with a touchscreen keyboard. Funny texts from grandpa may come from a slip of the thumb or a misunderstanding of how the iPhone mic works. The grandparents texting below show that most elders deserve respect for their text savvy and aged humor, as if they knew you'd post the screenshots to Tumblr later.
