[NEED-A-VETTE]

So, my technologically challenged mother learned how to send texts today. She's worse than a teenager.

First, I kept getting half sentences because she kept hitting enter rather than space. Example: "Soon you're going to want me to be"

What? Be what? You gonna finish that text, lady?

Then comes the pics. Mom...why are you sending me pics of the house you've been in for 20 years? I've been there a few times...I've seen it before. I thought she was trying to show me something new. No, no. Nothing new with the house...it's just a pic of...the house...from a few different angles. :skep:

This is what I get to look forward to in between all the daily emails she forwards to me from 1992. :facepalm:




Sigh. Can't help but love the woman. :rofl:

It is painful when older people discover the interwebz and technology. :yesnod:

I succeeded in getting my mother to stop forwarding jokes to me.

I finally got through to her, that, thanks to (various) OT sections, there is nothing - NOTHING - she can send to me, that I haven't already seen, and probably saw it five years ago.

[Mrs. Colleen]

:rofl: I have a coworker that is constantly asking me to read her texts because she cannot see the little screen. In fact, I think I have also typed texts for her too. :rofl:

I don't mind talking to my mom, though she can never get it straight which one of us kids she's talked to. She'll say, "So, I was telling your sister blah, blah, blah..." No, mom, you told ME that...yesterday.

Luckily, we (my mom, sisters and I) are very close. Besides, when she starts aggravating us, we pull the, "Oh yeah? At least we didn't end up landing in Oakland instead of Burbank."

Two years ago, she took a wrong connecting flight. She was supposed to get off the plane in Phoenix and get on another...she stayed on and ended up in Oakland. True story.

Caitlin and I, waiting at Burbank, phone rings...

Mom: Where are you?
Me: Baggage claim.
Mom: So am I.
Me: *Looks around because Burbank airport is the size of my bathroom* No you're not.
Mom: Where's baggage claim?
Me: Mom...There's only one hallway. It leads to me. Take it.
Mom: I'm at baggage claim.
Me: Mom, I'm like one of 4 people standing at baggage claim right now...you're not one of them.

After about 15 minutes of this...

Me: Are you at the right airport?
Mom: Hmmmmmm...I better check.

I'm thinking she's on the other side of the country or something. :rofl: Turns out, they (Southwest) only did a head count before taking off. :banghead: From Oakland, they put her on a flight to Burbank.

In the car...

Mom: Well, I heard them say they were connecting to California.
Me: *Blank stare*

Yeah, that's my mom. :rofl:

It happened when she came out for Caitlin's graduation party. Which, by the way, I was cleaning her room and found (behind her dresser) the thank you card she wrote for you guys from the party. :rofl: Must've fallen behind there when she was writing them out. I'll give it to you on Saturday. :D Better yet, she can give it to you. She'll be here this weekend. :hurray:
