My bratty 30-year-old "kid" brought something to my attention this past week. (Hope you're reading, Matt!) He called me needing his uncle's phone number, so I gave it to him. He said he also might call his grandmother, so I asked him if he needed her phone number, too. "Nope," he said, "Granny's number is xxx-xxxxx, Mama's number is xxx-xxxx and your number is xxx-xxxx. Old people never change their phone numbers!!" Can you believe he called me OLD????
What do you think this says about our society? You should see my address book!! I started using white-out because my kids' numbers changed so often. In fact, I'm surprised they still sell address books. How do they make any money? Or maybe it's a lucrative business because people change addresses and phone numbers so often.
But seriously. I think there's something to this....

how come all of you guys have xxx-xxxx for a phone number? there aren't any numbers anywhere! And, if I did figure out how to dial xxx-xxxx, how would I know if I'm calling Granny, Mama, or Becky?
This new technology is confusing. Skype is as old-fashioned as it gets.
I have an address book...sitting on my nightstand...waiting to be use. Hmmm....
Does this mean I need to change my number so I won't be considered old?!!?
i haven't kept an address book in years.......of course, i haven't kept the same address for any length of time either....things that make you say hmmmm.....
I haven't thought to ask...has your car been repaired?
Wow, Sandra! That "OLD" comment really got to you!! Already getting rid of your landline just because of what Matt said? hee-hee!
No...my car is still just sitting there. Andy & I are re-learning how to get along with one car. We have someone coming to take a look at it. Be praying!!
