Apparently, two weeks ago, Nikki was grounded for talking on the phone with her friends after lights out and lying to my mom about it. She was grounded for two weeks, required to do an hour of chores each day, and was on all communication restriction (no phone, email, or IMing) during her grounding. She was warned repeatedly warned that if she lied again, she would lose the privilege of getting her driver's permit this summer.
Cut to today - her last day of being grounded. My Mom received her cell phone bill today, and was shocked to see that she owed $318 for text messaging over the last couple of weeks.
My mom has never text messaged anyone in her life (which explains why they don't have unlimited texting).
My dad immediately said, "Ask Nik."
She denied any knowledge of the text messages, to the point of insisting that she didn't know how to use the feature.
"I guess we'll have to ask the phone company for the transcripts." my Mom slyly added.
At that point she broke down, weeping and sobbing that she was sorry and admitting to stealing my Mom's cell phone every night to text her friends.
How many messages did she send, you ask?
100? 200? 500?
Oh no.
Over a two week period she sent 1100 messages, which adds up to 75 messages PER DAY. Considering she only had a couple of hours each day to use the phone, she's averaging 40 - 50 messages an hour. Impressive.
Nikki has now bought herself an extra 6 months of Mom's taxi service, another grounding, and has two months to pay back the $318.
Well done, Nicole. Well done, indeed.
