I love Momspeak, that language that moms (and some dads) use to express the joys, sorrows, and angst of parenthood. So I was delighted with the responses I received when I polled some friends and asked them: what are your favorite texting acronyms?
Here are the top 25:
- KBS Kids Being Snippy (or Sassy)
- DK Damn Kids (substitute an F for, you know)
- KSC Kids Spilled Crackers ( or C**p)
- CFG Can't Find Glasses (reading or sun)
- CL? Coffee Later?
- NAGI Not A Good Idea
- IT In Target
- PITA Pain In The A**
- BK Before Kids
- WIHMS When I Had My Sanity (also BK)
- DD Damn Dog (or DC as in Damn Cat)
- GDC God Damn Computer
- OOC! Out Of Coffee!
- TWIW They Whine, I Wine
- CSA Can't Stay Awake (Implication – the kids wore me out)
- BWN Baby Won't Nap (or BWS as in Baby Won't Sleep)
- HBAP Hubby Being A Poop (or something that rhymes with slick)
- BDCFD Burned Dinner Call Fire Department
- CRS Can't Remember Stuff (or S**T)
- FF Feeling Fat
- CTT Can't Take This
- SOBT Stressed Out Big Time
- UB! Unbelievable
- FTIW2C For This I Went To College
- ISLT I Still Love Them
Sharing our parenting experiences, our
stories, is crucial to maintaining our sanity throughout the lives of
our children. It's how we gain information and reassurance that we
will come out of these experiences as better people with children who
will grow to be responsible adults.
Hey, kids have their own texting language, shouldn't we?
