Ever sent a text to the wrong person?

2 weeks ago, I was spending time with one of my friends who has a 13 year old. The 13 year old accidentally sent a text to her mom instead of her boyfriend when we were at lunch. It was something like, "i can't wait to see you either, I miss you so much, kisses!"
