Preemptive Text

A text message that is sent to someone under the assumption that you know that they're going to text you. Commonly used with tech-deficient family members who take forever to answer text messages.

I sent a Preemptive Text to my mother to inform her that i was driving home, because I knew she was gonna ask where i was.
