28,436

Todd came to work an angry man. He was growling at his wife about how they should take away their daughter's phone. Finally, he came over to discuss the problem. He had me guess how many text messages his daughter had sent last month.

I guessed a number so big I thought he would feel foolish: 1,500.

A half-grin crept over his face while he let the number sink in. Then he let it loose: 28,436.

WHAT!! How is that possible? Is he sure he had the right number of decimal places? Yep. He showed us the bill online. Wowzer.
That is one text every 92 seconds, 24 hours a day, all month long.

Obviously, she sleeps. We gave her an average of 8 hours a day, which pushes the texting to once every 59 seconds while she is awake.

THAT is commitment to something you love.
