Hold the presses, someone call Guinness.

The California man’s 13-year-old daughter, Reina, racked up an astonishing 14,528 text messages in one month. The online AT&T statement ran 440 pages.

“First, I laughed. I thought, ‘That’s insane, that’s impossible,’ ” the 45-year-old dad said. “And I immediately whipped out the calculator to see if it was humanly possible.”

It works out to 484 text messages a day, or one every two minutes of every waking hour.

Luckily, Hardesty has a phone plan that allows unlimited texting for $30 a month. Otherwise, he estimates, he would have owed AT&T $2,905.60 at a rate of 20 cents per message.

The average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is 1,742, according to a Nielsen study of cellphone usage.

Like father, like daughter. The father, Greg Hardesty who’s 45 years old, pumps out 900 text messages a month himself. Now I admit, I don’t text at all, so this story is especially crazy to me. I like calling people on my phone myself, but to all their own. Oh yeah, one more thing, this family resides in Orange County. I could’ve guessed that. It’s pretty much the only place in the world this kind of thing can happen with a 13 year old girl.
