This past weekend, while I was at a soccer game, I took a moment during halftime to observe the crowd. Almost everyone, myself included, was glued to their phones. I could only imagine the flurry of texts being sent—whether it was a partner asking about stopping at the store or a parent updating a friend on the game’s nail-biting moments. Meanwhile, I noticed a little girl in a vibrant pink coat and cozy blue beanie sitting on the ground, completely device-free. The fascination in her eyes made me ponder what toddlers might text each other if they had the chance. I can only guess it would be a riot.
Imagine the messages they’d send, filled with candid thoughts about their daily adventures. Here’s how I envision those exchanges:
“OMG, today was a total disaster—two major blowouts! Mom had to toss one of my outfits because those peas from last night went rogue. I was just chilling in my bouncy seat, and bam! No shame, just laughs.”
“Mom took me to Target again, and I spent the whole trip wailing. She looked so annoyed, but honestly, I couldn’t care less. Ugh, that red cart is the worst. I just wanna unwind with my Binky, you feel me?”
“Mom’s sipping on that fancy pink drink again. She gets all smiley and chill, but when I reach for it, she just hands me my sippy cup. When do we get to sip the good stuff?”
“She claims on Facebook that all my meals are organic and homemade. But hold up—those jars with the cute kid on them? That’s where it’s at. So cray cray!”
“Pro tip: if you toss your snacks on the floor while in your high chair, someone will pick them up for you. Works like a charm in shopping carts too. It’s a blast! I could do this forever.”
“Listen, if you bite while nursing, mama will take away the good stuff faster than you can say ‘milk.’ Serious face and tears—total nightmare.”
“Hey, guess what? I got my hands on the scissors and some quiet time. You should see my bangs—they’re on fleek.”
“Just a heads up: if your favorite lovey goes for a swim in the toilet, it’s not coming back. Trust me, you’ll get soaked too!”
“Today, I accidentally peed on my own face during a diaper change. Scared me, but I couldn’t help but laugh! Keep this on the down-low, though.”
“When Mom checked my diaper, she ended up with a little surprise on her finger. Why does this keep happening? Does she not learn?”
“No naps for me today! Just got this new Paw Patrol book, and I’m obsessed. Can’t put it down!”
“Oh, and today’s the big playdate! Can’t wait to see you. Mom got those new squeeze yogurts—we’re gonna have a food fight!”
“Last night was a wild one, and now Mom’s chugging coffee like it’s water. I’ll try to calm down tonight, but who are we kidding? Nighttime is my jam!”
“Teething is no joke. Seriously, being a year old is tough. I can’t even deal.”
“Tommy came over yesterday. Ugh, I can’t stand him. He’s all potty trained, and that’s all his mom talks about. Our picture is on Facebook, and I’m there in my big diaper. I gotta step up my potty training game.”
“Stuck in the car right now, counting down the seconds until I can ditch these pants. I just wanna be free!”
“Sometimes, I chill with my buddy Caillou, but Mom keeps changing the channel. Can’t she see he speaks my language?”
“Big news! I figured out how to buy video games on the iPad. I’m basically a genius. I’ll spill all the secrets at the park!”
While it would be wildly entertaining to witness these tiny humans texting their thoughts, it’s refreshing to know they still have a couple of years before they dive deep into the world of technology. As I sat there on the bleachers, exchanging glances with that little girl, I realized I’d much rather focus on her than my screen. I tucked my phone away and handed her a leaf that had fallen nearby. Though she tossed it aside to reach for my bag, seeing her mesmerized by that simple leaf felt like a moment of pure magic.
