Txts from Last Night

I love when an idea is so good that it takes off overnight.  TextsFromLastNight started back in February – it’s a site where people can input their – you got it- texts from last night. And -wow- now it’s one of those things everybody seems to know about.  Some of the texts are very, very funny.  And whether they’re real or fabricated, it doesn’t matter to me.  Here is my latest favorite: “(856): I just fell asleep with a sandwich in my mouth at Cosi..people definitely saw.”  However, some of the texts are really pathetic and sad (yes, I know my aforementioned favorite might be pathetic and sad to others), and the recurrence of bad sexual situations and mentions of “awkward” detracts once you’ve followed the site for awhile.  In fact, given the references to college, etc it seems that the site is heavily trafficked by millenials – begging the question- can my generation take over if we can’t pick up the phone and we can’t get over how awkward everything seems?  Maybe I will text all my friends and ask.
