Today’s parents have it tough. Kids are using crazy abbreviations for texts that make it nearly impossible to determine what is being said. Forget TTYL or BRB… now you’re stuck with PBMWISILY – yeah, figure that one out!

HAHAHAHAHA [breathe] HAHAHAHAHAHA I have to try this some day. Brilliant.

At least the password wasn’t “12345.” Imagine how difficult that texting situation would have been!
