This past Mother’s Day, my siblings and I put together and got my mom a laptop. We were a little nervous bringing it over because sometimes she just wants to shun technology altogether and read a book or watch her beloved Phillies.
Surprise, surprise – she kind of likes it. She’s getting over her anxiety and can now play a few card games. I guess her love of gambling overtook her fear of computers.
I snapped this picture to capture my two favorite women – my beautiful 88-year old mom, willing to try something new. And my savvy 14-year old daughter – showing grandma the ropes of a touchpad.
Buckle your seatbelt mom, next week we’re installing Scrabble. Next month, we may get you on email. When you’re 90, you’ll look back on this and laugh.
