Kids these days and their abbreviations... SU

I believe I have mentioned before that we are a bit of a sarcastic family.  It's bitten me in the ass at times, when I realize "oh my that sounds disrespectful" and we are continually trying to teach our kids the right and wrong times to use sarcasm.  By the way, we're not doing very well.

Recently Warren was in a giggly mood and happened to be chatting me up.  Rare and RARE - so I took it.  We chatted awhile and then I saw this girl and said, "Oh look War, there's your girlfriend."  He scrunched his face at me and said, "S U".

My face scrunched up all puzzled like as I contemplated what S U could even mean.  And did he mean to say F U?  Because I seriously would have a problem with that.  Warren noticed my face and offered an explanation.

"S H U T U P.  That's what S U is mom.  Duh.  Shut up.  That girl is not my girlfriend."

Huh.  So now that I know whas S U means, I note it in my mental file (S U, must use that later on with someone, it's kind of awesome) and move on.  "Well, do you even think she's cute?"

I got 'the look' from Warren at that moment.  You know the one.  The whole, 'my gawd woman are we from the same planet?  Do you not know me at all by  now?'  It kind of looks like this:

So I asked who was cute to him.  His answer was the best statement ever.  The best. 

"You, mom.  You are cute and my hot mess of a sister is cute, even though she is indeed a hot mess."

Total suck up, but I don't care.  S U people, S U!
