During the Thanksgiving Hysteria we just went through I read an article about families that could not have their respective grandmothers with them for Thanksgiving but they had their respective grandmothers them with them for Thanksgiving.
Wow that was a long awkward sentence! Well, at least it made sense. What’s that you just said? Did you just say it did not make sense? Let me try again through the Magic of Bullet Points...
- This year some families found it was impossible to get their grandmas from across the country to be with them at the Thanksgiving Dinner Table.
- To remedy this sad situation, they resorted to the Wonders of Modern Electronics to have grandma join them for the big meal.
- They set up a Laptop Computer where grandma would normally sit.
- They then used Skype Software to have their grandma’s face and voice there with them while they ate.
They were so pleased with themselves that they did not notice that grandma was doing her best to look like she was tickled pink to be eating a grilled cheese sandwich while they all committed sins of gluttony.
In the Subject of this Foolishness...Or Is It? I said the world was coming around to my way of thinking. I said this because I posted a blog on November 26, 2009 which brushed right up against the idea of Skypeing Grandma for Holidays. Chick below to see how forward thinking the Smartfella is...
