While “texting” used to mean sending SMS messages, the term has been expanded to cover really most messaging services that many of us use on a daily basis. Fortunately, the word “texting” has pretty long legs and still does cover most of the things we might use it for.
The “Funny Texts” Facebook page is dedicated to both the amusing messages that people have sent and relatable memes in general. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

That one hits me hard. Watched it happen to my Great Grandmother. I suspect it runs in the family so she won't be the last.
The core of a good meme, beyond humor or creativity, is that kernel of relatability. Richard Dawkins, who coined the phrase meme, envisioned it as a viral idea that spread from person to person much like a virus. However, what he didn’t expect was the fact that much of this information would center around humor and that the internet is an incredibly potent vector for “infection.”
Part of the appeal is that the ideas carried by the meme either focus on a shared experience or emotion or work with familiar information and context. This comes from the high degree of intertextuality that memes possess. After all, we can generally understand the situations depicted in memes through our own life experiences, other memes, or just general knowledge of the world.
At a certain point, memes have become self-referential. If you have ever had to explain a meme to an older relative or someone “less online,” you will know that internet lore is deep. Some memes require a person to understand multiple other references, just to understand the context needed to enjoy certain memes.
It's always fun to get each other up to date about all the chaos that has happened in our lives in between chats
Every evening I fall asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes before I go upstairs to bed to fall asleep
It's not the money going out to inconsequentials, it's the fact that every generation since the boomers has been consistently underpaid.
My eldest isn't angry but he isn't a parent to my other children either

I can't even pick mean dialog options in video games, this isn't even remotely true.
not in my family, my twin is the meanest but my two older sisters are very nice
Until we lose our baby sister to dementia after nobody told us about it. Then we are heartbroken.
My older sister and her wife basically adopted me after they got married lol and I'm very grateful! They wanted kids but couldn't afford it, and my parents were fine with financing my growing up but didn't want me around 🤷♀️
then we get in trouble for stuff and become therapists for said parents...
I am technically the oldest, but I'm neither mean, nor resentful at helping my mum raise my siblings. I chose to take on responsibility and I feel proud when my sister says I'm her second mum.
You were a child parent? So you had to pay the bills for your kids, buy food, prepare it, serve it, then tidy up, do the laundry, the cleaning, clean bathroom nd kitchen everyday, you looked after the garden, kept the house not just tidy but child safe, did repairs around the house, you dressed your siblings, took them to school, to extra lessons, to sport, football on the weekends, kids parties, you threw their birthday parties, you consoled them, you looked after all their needs , you nursed them when they were ill, you stayed with them in the hospital, you paid for their education? I get it, it must have been hard for you.
I was just a kid when I became asst. mom. Always getting punished for not setting good examples. Growing up way too fast because adult-level responsibilities blurred childhood. FYI, an oldest should never get into a serious relationship with a youngest. It's doomed.
This is why I hate to see those giant families with way too many children.
I am the youngest of six and my oldest sister 100% got shafted.

Oh, I'm so sorry if this happened to you. My brothers would barely speak to me. I really cannot remember a single serious conversation I had with either of them. One's dead the other is almost 80. Good riddance.
It doesn't always happen that way, I became my older brother's caregiver after he became a quadriplegic. I was parentified before that though, neither my mom nor brother was ever very adult. In some ways, I did it on purpose because someone had to be an adult in our family.
Um, yeah. Everything is our fault and all the pressure is placed on our shoulders. Also, even though we’re basically raising our siblings, we’re still the kids and our parents are the adults. Like, okay bish, then how about you raise my siblings for a change. Not bitter about it at all, though, totally not. At the same time, I’m not mean. My little sister gets away with murder. She is a bit mean.
Thankfully not all parents make their eldest child parent their siblings! (mine didn't - and I'm not mean)
Oldest are more responsible because parents are try to do everything perfect and are scared, youngest get away with everything cuz parents are tired, and they want things to be fair so they get stuff earlier. Only children are individuals who are less keen to share and more independent.
Not true. First gets away with murder, second child has all the rules enforced as a result of the first’s shenanigans and the third, well parents give up by that point
My experience is the complete opposite, I am the oldest of 3 sisters and I never got away with shìt and I feel like I was disciplined way worse and more because I was the guinea pig for my parents to learn how to parent. My youngest sister def got away with murder and could do whatever. My middle sister and I bond over the fact the baby had it the easiest but middle still had it easier than me.

Parents? You mean you entertained siblings?? Did you take care of health insurance, school registration and transportation, winter coats, shoes, summer and winter clothes, braces, eye glasses, doctor or dentist appointments, or anything besides that playing a game with them?
Exactly. I never asked for a sibling, nor did I want one.
Was in Lidl the other day and a woman was wondering where the lettuce was. I pointed and said "Iceburg deåd ahead" I couldn't resist myself. We both laughed so all was good 👍
My mother also. Used to pick her up every Saturday for breakfast and shopping. Pulled in the driveway one beautiful summer day and she opened the door, holding her phone, saying "Oh...nevermind. She's here now." When she got in the car I asked who she was talking to and she said "The police." I asked WHY??? and she said because I was late and I was never late so she thought something happened. I replied that I had TOLD her I'd be late because I had a dentist appointment. She said "Ohhhh....that's right! Where do you want to go to eat?".
If he ate it all without noticing, it obviously wasn't any worse than what he was used to.
Omg I feel this. My parents performed only the required parenting duties which did not include extra curriculars, displays of love, compassion, encouragement etc. and I love them but my adult life has been very difficult to navigate.
Well what's your plan for November then? Should use it well because it sounds like your only days off the whole year
"Ya went and broke my only rule" - line I love from song that was rhymed with "I refuse to be your fool"
I tell my daughter this but she’s too busy hoping her bf is something he’s not so it goes in one ear and out the other. I hope she realizes before she puts ten years in waiting for change.
My brother did that until he died 3 years ago. I aspire to his example.
I'm at the wealth level where I have a panic attack and suck it up and get back to work in ten minutes. Yeah that happened today. Panic attacks suck.
18 years in hospital, emergency department. S****y painful exhausting job. But i miss the hundreds of colleagues i had, i miss the laughs, the pranks, the jokes...
Unfortunately for the rest of us, 15 year olds exist and now I feel very old.

The title " This Page Shares Hilarious Posts And Texts, Here Are The 97 Best Ones" is very misleading there was maybe one funny in this whole batch. The rest was all some kind of wallowing in introspection.
