Hilarious Misunderstanding
Fiction Shorts word of the day : Definition
“Sam, I can’t seem to grasp the text language of our son, Branden. He sends me text messages that make absolutely no sense to me whatsoever,” Amy whines.
“Honey, you’ll pick up the kids jargon, don’t stress. What’s the abbreviation you’re stuck on?” Sam asks.
“Here is a perfect example. Branden’s text reads, Mum the TV won’t turn on and IDK why. Silly nonsense if you ask me.”
Sam gives a chuckle, “I don’t know.”
“Then I’ll ask our daughter, she’ll know,” Amy states.
Sam bursts out in hysterical laughter. “No Amy, I DON’T KNOW, is the definition of IDK.”
