Mother away on holidays sends lengthy text message with no interesting or useful information

GENERIC TEXT: A local mother holidaying in Surfers Paradise has sent her son a 52 word text message without including any interesting or useful information.

“I had some spare time while waiting in the hotel lobby, so I thought I’d let Henry know we are safe and well,” Paddington’s Carol Kirwan told DBT.

“But I’m not great at texting.”

It took her more than 30 minutes to write and send the text, which mentioned the weather and some issues she and her husband were experiencing with hotel maintenance.

DBT understands that her 29 year old son barely even read the text.

“I saw it come through when I was out with friends,” says Henry Kirwan. “And then I completely forgot about it till three days later.”

“If I’m being completely honest, I also forgot mum and dad are away.”

Carol Kirwan admits to feeling slightly underwhelmed by her son’s eventual reply, which was; “Cool, speak soon.”

“Oh well, I don’t mind.” she says. “As long as he knows we are ok.”
