Text messaging--perfect for nagging your children
Pity my son. His mother has discovered the convenience of nagging by text message. Have you brushed your teeth? Fed the cat? Are you wearing a warm jacket?

2. "Huh. That's weird. I never got the text message. Lousy service!"
If he's sneaky enough, expect a follow-up along the lines of, "You know, the new Samsung a890 is supposed to be a lot better at that."

6. A British survey suggested that teens preferred it
It's far less embarrasing for a teenager to get a text from mummy saying something like "I'll be there to collect you in half an hour" than a telephone call which is obvious to everybody around them.
