My mom loves to get new shiny phones; we get her one almost every Mother’s day. It’s like her favorite thing ever. She’s a writer online so she stays pretty hip with these things, and we have to tell her to put her phone away as often as we put ours away!

Yeah, I assume you’re a little bit older, maybe, because my parent’s generation (I’m 19) is VERY with it. She reads parenting blogs and started a family group on Facebook and texts us all the time. It’s pretty cool, actually; its fun that she’s keeping up.

To be fair, my mom has been pretty with it from day one! She even has Facebook and checks up on me at college with it. She’s actually kind of a technological super sleuth. Kind of extreme, but mostly I find it pretty amusing. Hey, it’s my mom, right?

Hey, as a mother, I resent this! Not all moms are backward or stuck in the eighties. I’ll have you know that I transitioned seamlessly to cell phones; I even have a brand new iPhone and (gasp) I use it. A lot. So take that.

My mom is dangerous with her new iPhone. I gave her my last generation one, and now she quite literally texts me 17 times a day. That’s her current record, and it’s only been 4 days. FOUR DAYS. Starting to wonder if this was a mistake…
