old people and technology

Last night after Zac got home from work we started watching my latest obsession, Angel. It was well past 9pm when my cell phone rang.

First of all, nobody ever calls me and lastly no one ever calls me late at night. Yes 9pm is late!

I checked my phone and it said Mom and Dad.

Oh Shit....what is going on....is someone in the hospital...someone died...this isn't good...

All the above was running through my head.

Hello

Terry...tengo una cartita...como lo quito

You have a text message?! YOU SCARED ME!

So I try to tell her how to read the text message but its useless because she keeps getting into create a text. I finally told her I don't know and that it probably isn't important and that its probably a text from Verizon. I then asked her if she had the booklet for the cell phone and she said yes but that she doesn't understand it. I then said "isn't it in Spanish?" She said she still doesn't understand what to do because they use confusing words. I finally told her I didn't know how to help her and so we hung up.

Two minutes later she calls back.

I did it. It was a message from Verizon. I just wanted to let you know so you can sleep tonight.

Thanks mom!
