malfunctioning synapses in my brain?

SO yesterday i recieved a text from jimmy (my brother) that said, "one of my friends doesnt believe that texting is so easy a retard could do it, so could you text me back so i can prove him wrong?"
When i got this text, i thought. "Hmmmm. the guy thinks jimmy is mentally handicapped and unable to figure out how to text. i need to text him back to prove that jimmy did text me properly!" As i started my reply, however, i realized that jimmy was calling ME the retard. oh the joys of family!
