... and yet technology is baffling me. It's not even the great, big technology items - I've stayed on top of laptops, iPads, and various Internet sites - it's the little things. I stood in the kitchen struggling to pull up the straw part of Livvi's brand new sippy cup, and it just wouldn't budge. I pulled and strained and twisted, and thought It's a kid's cup, for goodness sake! That's when my niece from the other side of the table says, "Push da button."
Maybe that was a stupid example, but it's all too common. I couldn't find the actual key part on the key to my parents' new car. You can't drive without that. My steering wheel is full of buttons to control the XM radio station, phone calls, and other options. Just like remotes! They have been my absolute least favorite item, and I have yet to conquer a single one. In church yesterday, instead of filling out the Attendance Card as I had done for 10 years, the text number appeared on the screen, and the entire congregation whipped out their smart phones to send in attendance. Oh yeah, and one brother uses his smartphone as a TV remote. Double whammy for me!
I am out of the loop, for sure! Bad or good, I just wasn't expecting this after only 4 years! :-)

Maybe it's not because you've been gone. I feel the same way around my brother. His car talks to me and it freaks me out every time. I blame it on getting old.
