Other Generations Amuse Me
Today my parents got new cell phones. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, except for the fact that they haven't updated their cphones in over 3 years. Our last cell phone was only good for calling people, which, according to today is absurd. SO. My parents went to Verizon this morning to get their brand new cellulars.
My mom got home and my dad went back to work. I have never seen them more excited. My mom spent the whole day reading the manuel and trying to figure out how to use her new phone. I kept offering to help her, but she would'nt let me. You have to admit that those who have grown up in the 90's/00's knows how to program a phone. So I sat there for an hour laughing at her. That was the most entertaining part of my day.
For the first ten minutes, she sat there flipping the phone open and closed. Her facial reactions were the best. She then read the whole manuel. The whole time I sat there saying, "I know how to do that mom, I can show you," but she wouldn't let me. She then proceeded to find the camera on her camera phone. She didn't want to take a picture though, she thought it would mess something up.
They were both so excited about their new phones, they forgot them when the went out to dinner. So here I am fixing the errors they made when they were entering the contacts in their phone books. For example, my mom wished to enter the name "Deb Girard" instead, she entered "Eaggpapd." She fixed that one. But "Ray" is "Pray."
I love my parents.

That's how it is with MY parents. My parents and your parents could probably switch places and we wouldn't even know the difference. With techincal things at least... So hope you had a "HOPPY" easter! And if you read the second sentence of my blog it explains why it is called senioritis. AND it makes perfect sense! ttyl
