My grandmother celebrated her 83rd birthday last week, and received a cellular phone as a gift from my uncle. Since then, I’ve tried to call her at least seven times…but to no avail. She’s hasn’t once answered the phone. So I called my father instead, and asked what’s the problem.
“Oh…your grandmother leaves the cell phone at home when she goes out.”
[Pause]
Leaves the cell phone at home? That seems a bit like buying a new car, but only using it to listen to the radio while sitting in the driveway.
Perhaps I’ll reconsider the Blackberry® that I was going to buy her for Christmas.
