pony express

Today, I got a random text from my roommate.  I saw the blinky light, opened my phone and read:

"I probably don't have time.  im leaving in about an hour...bummer!"

Hm.  I didn't text her today, I thought to myself.  I wonder if she meant it for someone else?

So I called her at work and asked if the text was meant for someone else.  

Laura:  "What did it say?" 

Me: "Um, something about not having time, that you're leaving in about an hour?"

Laura: [Pondering.]  "I think that was what I texted you on Sunday when you were asking if I wanted to watch that movie."

Me: [Pondering...then glancing back at the phone screen.]

Phone: Laura, 2:45pm Feb 15

Me: "Oh my gosh, you're right!  Stupid phone.  Why didn't it send it until today??"

Laura: "It's like the pony express!"

And that is why I love my roommate.
