Another lovely instant message conversation with my brother...

Me: hey
My Brother: hey
Me: Mom and dad came to see my show.
My Brother: I know. How did it go.
Me: great.
My Brother: Good. I gotta go. Gotta do some shooting tonight.
Me: ok
My Brother: bye
(he signs off)

Just FYI, when he says "shooting," he means target practice at the shooting range.
