Nose in the phones
I got an early Mother's Day surprise from my son and his family as they came up this weekend to see me and the folks. I took us all out to breakfast before going to see Dad in rehab.The family of four sitting at the table next to us was a Mom, Dad and 2 beasties all four of them with their noses in their phones. I set my phone in the middle of the table and told my gang to do the same. I said whoever touches their phone first gets the bill. At the end of the meal I reached for my phone (I knew I was paying) so my son points and says you get the bill Mom. I just smiled. We all talked to each other throughout the whole meal. Anyone sitting at the table my son sits always gets to belly laugh because he has the family comic genes. He is simply hilarious and his son fits right in.
It is pretty cool to see how much my grandson grows between visits. At the age of ten kids just have growing spurts and I get to notice it so much more now that I rarely see him compared to before I moved to Tampa.
It seems no matter where I'm at or where I look someone has their nose buried in their phone.

Provided me and my gf used to talk 24/7 for years, we never got tired of talking to each other.
And don't listen to Mimi, a bunch of us spent an evening together and she didn't look at her phone once even when we all had them out to take photos
MollyBaby took them.
This was taken by Biff...secretly
That is why people can develop relationships.

It's nice to hear you had a good time with your family.
I'm glad you got to see your son and his family.
I have a smart phone but the only time I remove it from the house is to charge it from the cigarette lighter in my car. I literally hate the thing. The only reason I have it is to get online ie Hotspot. Only 1 person on earth has my number for the smartphone and that's my son. I have a flip phone for calls.
