I'm going out of the country tomorrow and won't be back for a week. That means NO LEILA TEXTS. Until after THANKSGIVING. I know it's hard, but I think you can manage. Use this Thanksgiving as an opportunity to connect with your family. And if that doesn't work out for you, there are two and a half years of Leila Text archives to keep you busy.

See you all in December!

from a 714 phone number, Wednesday, November 18, 7:42 PM

BURN. This feels like an underhanded compliment to me. "You're loved and appreciated... though probably no one ever tells you that..."

are you at foothill? if you are here, you can met me at lab?
from a 408 phone number, Wednesday, November 18, 1:56 PM

I hope Leila meets 408 at the lab, and then he sweeps in and says dramatically, "You may wonder why I asked you to meet me here," and then he reveals some super-secret and life-changing scientific discovery.

NO.

Happy Birthday Baby left u msg @ 836 the best minute in my life.
from a 562 phone number, Tuesday, November 17, 12:04 PM

Maybe this is from Leila's mom, and 8:36 was the time when Leila was born? My mom is very into calling me at the moment when I was born.

from an 847 phone number, Wednesday, November 18, 8:25 PM

Ahem. Allow me.

"Paula called me last night and said that nobody called her yesterday so she cannot see all of us!"

Make sense now?

As for the Wednesday text: No idea.

Should we, are you sure? Is that really our moral obligation?

from a 301 phone number, Saturday, November 14, 9:54 PM

Where does Mom live, and why isn't Leila going to see her, too? Irresponsible daughter.

from a 949 phone number, Saturday, November 14, 9:26 PM

949 just wants to chat. "Hola. Well hello there. I was just texting to... you know... hey."
