Is your kid text messaging in class? (memo: lock up your daughters)

[Straight, No Chaser]

I must be pretty far out of the loop.
I asked a pizza-faced kid why he'd rather sit on the sideline and text message other students rather than shoot-around during PE. Not a big deal, I guess, if you get over the fact he's probably disrupting another student who may actually be trying to challenge themselves academically. I remember back in the day when cell phones first became affordable. I was continuosly mystified at overhearing students engaged in stimulating conversations with friends and family: "Hey...what ya doing...(pause) --I'm going to class, gotta go..." Trying to humor myself, I asked pizza-face what morsel of information was so important that he felt compelled to use his 300$ digital device to message it. He said: "I'm asking girls what color underwear they have on"
Well now. That explains it. I wasn't so much disturbed by this as I was from the answer to my next question: I asked pizza-face if any girls responded. All the time! he replied.
