The 118 Turtles Chat
Buck: EDS! HEY HEY EDS!
Bobby: Buck, this is the group chat
Buck: I know but he’s not answering me in our chat or my phone calls and Chris’ phone is off
Hen: maybe because it’s 8:45am after 3 nights of 7-7 shifts
Buck: but the turtles!
Bobby: turtles?
Buck: yes, the turtles! 🐢
Hen: Bobby, why’re you humoring him?
Buck: because Bobby knows how excited Christopher is to see the baby turtles at the aquarium! We have to get there at 10am when tickets go on sale
Hen: ever hear of buying things online?
Buck: you can’t! And they need to come with me cause the turtle exhibit opens at 10:15
Buck: will you guys please call and text Eddie too???
Chim: No
Buck: if you’re nice I’ll bring my niece too 😇
Chim: Eddie, wake up so Uncle Buck can bring your son and my daughter to see the turtles
Hen: what if my kids or Bobby’s kids wanted to go???
Buck: it’s family day
Chim: yeah Hen duh it’s family day 🤪
Hen: if Eddie is family we’re all family
Bobby: I tried calling Eddie, he didn’t answer me either
Buck: see! I told you, he sleeps like the dead, like me if you will 💀
Bobby: stop joking about being dead Buck
Buck: what’s the point of living if I can’t joke about dying
Chim: maybe Denny should call Chris on the Xbox, he’ll answer for his video game friends
Hen: don’t bring my child into this
Buck: yes! Please Hen! Have Denny go and see if Chris is on, it’s Saturday morning and his dad is asleep, he’s definitely taking advantage of that
Chim: I texted Denny, said he’s playing games with Chris
Buck: Hen! Hen! Henrietta my favorite, please go talk to Chris and have him wake up his dad, promise him pancakes
Chim: Denny says he won’t tell Chris unless he also gets to see the turtles
Bobby: but it’s family day for Eddie, Buck, and Chris
Chim: Denny says he also wants pancakes and for his mom to be Buck’s slave for a day
Buck: HEN HEN I NEED YOU, PLEASE HEN, THE BABY TURTLES 🐢
Hen: Calm down Turtle boy, Chim didn’t text Denny, Denny is asleep in his bed like I’d like to be
Buck: … this is about THE TURTLES. we need to actually talk to one of them
Bobby: why don’t you just go over there?
Buck: if I drive there and back it will take too long, they need to meet me at the aquarium
Buck: I’ve checked Instagram, there’s already a line for tickets, the turtles are a BIG DEAL
Hen: fine, I’ll call Eddie
Buck: HENRIETTA WILSON YOU ARE THE BEST
Hen: dammit he’s not answering his home phone either, has anyone ever heard his answering machine
Chim: hahahaha yes, last time I left a message on that thing I had to click five different buttons, it’s set up like an office phone, different extensions for him, Chris, and Buck
Buck: home phone?
Hen: you didn’t know Eddie has a landline?
Chim: yes Buck, back in the Stone Age we had wired phones
Bobby: but you’re an option on the answering machine?
Chim: CODEPENDENT
Hen: I need the telephone gods to smile down on me as I make this next phone call and let Eddie wake up, I need to sleep
Bobby: if he hasn’t woken up by now I don’t think there’s a chance
Buck: Bobby! don’t say that, we need to see the turtles!!!
Ravi: why don’t you check location sharing? Maybe he’s not home and his phone is still on silent from being on shift
Buck: great idea! See guys, this is being helpful
Hen: you think mr hates technology has location sharing on?
Ravi: you think he’d know how to turn that default setting off?
Chim: we’ve all been calling him and being helpful, I take offense turtle boy
Buck: Ravi, you’re the best!
Hen: oh thank god, you found Eddie?
*15 minutes pass*
Hen: Buck did you reach Eddie?
*10 minutes pass*
Hen: Buck, it’s almost 10am, and you are the reason I could not sleep, did you guys get in line for the damn turtle tickets?
*20 minutes pass*
Hen: after all that I didn’t even get to know if you saw the turtles?!
Eddie: (image of Buck, Chris and Jee with baby turtles)
Buck: 🐢🐢🐢
Bobby: have a fun family day!
Hen: Eddie, why the fuck didn’t you answer your phone???
Eddie: I left it in Buck’s jeep when he dropped me off after our shift
Hen: I have no words
Buck: 😇 🐢
For @professionalprocrastinator22 and the fun real life phone tag her family played about turtles that inspired this. And for @gravelyhalversobbing and her love of turtles.
