Not so FastPass

"My wife and I were in Disney World on our first trip without our three daughters. She was getting FastPasses at one ride while I checked out the line at another ride. I had told her to call my Google Voice number, that way if I didn't answer I would see her message as a text on my iPhone. Much to my surprise, I looked down at my phone and saw:

"In fact, bastard what."

This was one of my first text messages from Google Voice, so I thought it was some sort of odd joke. It turns out my wife had actually said: "I got the fast passes." It gave us a good laugh."
