QotD: This Message Is A Keeper

Tell us the story behind one of the text messages or voicemails you have saved in your phone.

I think it was a voicemail so I couldn't save it. But…my sister called me up and practically yelled into the phone "THERE'S A GIANT HOTDOG OUTSIDE WAL-MART. BYE!"

The week before or so, we had been driving out to the Renaissance festival in Sterling, NY when we saw the Oscar Mayer weinermobile pulling onto an onramp behind us. Aparantly, she saw it in the wal-mart parking lot too and she wanted to tell me about it.

The other one was a text message, also by my sister, also relating to the Renaissance festival. There's a wandering salesperson called the cookie wench who…sells cookies. She's one of our favorite roving sales people, mine mostly because she has good cookies. She's also one of the funniest of the roving sales people beating out the pretzel and the nut guy.

Anyway, I was sitting at my desk at work one day and I get a text message stating "The cookie wench is in my class!!" because, as it turns out, she's going to the same college my sister goes to and majoring in the same thing. Freaky. We could have gotten free cookies this year if it weren't for the fact that she's not going to be doing the festival this time around. Boo.
