A SENIOR MOMENT

Another little gem I found in my inbox.


Apparently, a self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one" the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear.

"The Young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel and man walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, ships, electric and hydrogen cars and cell phones. We have computers with light-speed processing…. And more."

After a brief silence the senior citizen responded as follows:

"You're right, son.

We didn't have those things when we were young ... so we invented them.

Now, you arrogant little shit, what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was amazing ...........

sounds like the kids facsination with gadgets has led to him being deprived of social contact. Like a good clop round the ear from his gran.

As we are SO bad at emailing, texting and calling lately...and as I have now (temporarily) deleted my Facebook account, this is my only link to the madness which is Ali. I need an update! I need to read you words!

Miss you. x
