I sent an invitation for a date to my baby momma instead of my boo. I thought I was asking my boo about going to Applebees to get that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake and then I realized it was the baby momma and immediately realized I sent the wrong text to the wrong person and wrote Ohhh Not Good (ONG) text. She knew what I did and asked for the child support money.
