Is she trying to say "I am, baby"? Do people abbreviate like that?

[–] [email protected] 78 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I think the "I'm baby" is the result of using voice to text while she's in the car on the way home. I don't think she's crafting messages in a way usual of anyone. She is spending the minimum amount of time on the phone to let her daughter know she has been heard, then focusing the rest of her energy on getting back there asap.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I know. She's probably freaking out if her mind and just trying to focus on getting home to her daughter.

She’s certainly no parent.

Probably meant "I am, baby" as in on her way home.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

This is the generous interpretation and the one I'm picking. Seems like a stressful situation for all, so a lot can be forgiven.

I can even understand "k" as response. What can mum do except give the kid, and mum, space to solve the problem? "I understand, I'm calling the police now" or just call the police. One saves time, one wastes it.

I could even understand it being a "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" response. Executive function is gone, here's a "k" while I melt.

Lots of room here before jumping to mum being the worst person in the world.

Mom cares about her kid's safety but that K was just her taking a step back and wondering if it's worth it when she still can't get 'hear' right

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

they both have terrible spelling though

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The girl is probably absolutetly shitting herself and is full of adrenaline, I think we can forgive that typo lol.

“K”

“I’m baby”?

Did she mean “I’m busy”?

If so this is messed up.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I thought maybe it's "I am, baby"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

yeah, auto correct too "i m baby" and made it I'm baby

Imagine responding like that to any Lemmy post:

*Proton endorses Trump

*K

*Gaza ceasefire

*I'm baby

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 weeks ago

Mom is texting while driving and freaking out, that's why her texts are like that

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The intruder bolder, and moments later, police arrived.

What?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

It's a typo. The intruder was a *boulder.

TL:DR her mom called the police and a neighbor and the neighbor loudly arrived spooking the intruder

I was thinking why she didn't just call the police herself but apparently it was so the intruder wouldn't hear her

I'm not sure which part you'd want me to change lol

E: It's a joke about the spelling on the texts, isn't it

I mean... That was exactly the right thing to do.
Respond as fast as possible as clearly as possible.

But looking back on it, it is pretty fucking funny to read.

FYI: Text to 911 is a thing in many places.
