No, wait. She must have mistyped a word, and her phone autocorrected it to STD. I wonder what she meant.
I wait for a minute.
For her to notice the misspell and send me a little * and the word stand or stained, or whatever the hell else has a S, T, and a D in it.
I wait calmly, but nothing comes. I read it again, noticing it says your STDs, like plural. Is she insinuating that both Phillip and I have STDs?
My phone vibrates again, and I'm relieved. She must've noticed the typo.
Mrs. Mac: ???? This is important!
Oh, shit!!
EXCUSE ME!!!??
Does Phillip have an STD?!????!!!!
That he did NOT tell me about?
Do I have an STD??
Could Phillip have given me an STD?!!!!???
WTF!?!?!
And if he did, why the HELL is his MOTHER telling me about it??!!!!!
I'm freaking out here! So I text Lori.
Me: OMG! I think Phillip might have an STD!
Lori Just as I'm about to send Phillip a scathing message, I get another text from his mom. She's very impatient.
Mrs. Mac: Hello???
I don't know what to say.
So I do what anyone would do.
I stall.
Okay, I lie.
Me: In a meeting. Will get back to you asap :)
Now I'm pissed! I mean, my gosh, she just sprang this on me and in five minutes I'm supposed to know what to do?? I haven't even talked to Phillip yet. But I'm gonna now!
Me: It would've been nice to hear about your STD from YOU instead of YOUR MOTHER!!!
Phillipbaby<3 WTF are you talking about??
Me: She just texted me and told me we need to do something about them.
Phillipbaby<3 You're joking, right?
Me: I wish I was :(
Phillipbaby<3 I'm in the middle of a conference call. I'm sorry, but I have to say it again. WTF ????!
Me: So does that mean you're mad at her for telling me because you wanted to tell me yourself? I think you owe me that because now I probably have one too.
Phillipbaby<3 I DO NOT have an STD!
Me: I mean, I'm a little freaked out by how you got one, and who you got it from, but we can just take medicine or something, right?
Phillipbaby<3 JADYN!! Listen to what I'm saying! I DO NOT HAVE A STD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: Well, your mother thinks you do.
Phillipbaby<3 I have to go. I'm on a conference call. Will talk to you about this in a few.
I don't respond because I can tell he's irritated by all this. It's not my fault his mom told me. Why is he getting all bent out of shape? Maybe it's because he wanted to tell me in person, but wait. No. He said, I don't have one. I mean if his mom let the proverbial cat out of the bag, wouldn't he 'fess up if he did?
