Txt_msgAnd you thought your kids were addicted to text messaging. Have you heard about this Californian teen who sent 14,528 text messages in one month? OMG!

Thirteen year-old Reina Hardesty's father wasn't "LOL" when he read last month's AT&T cell phone bill. The 440-page statement listed an incredible 14,528 text messages sent in one month.

Um, that works out to be about 484 text messages a day, on average. Yes, a day.

Fortunately, the Hardesty family has a $30/month unlimited texting plan or else this AT&T bill would have been nearly $3,000.

According to a U.S.-based Nielsen study, the average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is about 1,742.
