I had this same conversation with my father last week. He is a low-frequency communicator, so when I get the "Call me" text I feel I have to take a deep breath and brace myself for thew news.
I had to have the conversation twice; the first time I got really mad at my mom for sending me "Call me as soon as you can". She didn't really get why I was so upset - probably because I was too upset to think clearly about why I was.
The next time it happened, I clued my folks in to the subtext of that message for people of my generation. They were horrified and apologized profusely. They've also never done it since.
