When I was their age, my relatives gave us pen sets.
Nowadays, children get their first email accounts.
Sarah and Larry’s two oldest children have their first email accounts. Being a dutiful aunt, I sent them emails at Larry’s request.
On Sunday, I had dinner with my family, and my nephew was texting and receiving texts throughout dinner. His phone never stopped buzzing.
It is absolutely a different generation.
I don’t feel old, though. I’m going to upgrade my cell phone this week and start texting my nephew. Who may be going to my alma mater next year.
The years are sure going fast. I could swear he was only four years old last week. Nine at the most.
On an completely different note, Sarah is the Chocolate Chip Cookie Champion of Chesterfield County. She won first place in the fair, and third place for the cake.
Your nephew was at the table with other family members and was texting?
Yes, but it was a barbecue dinner on the deck, and he got up and left the table every time he got a text.
Manners, 21st-century style.
