Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks?

My mom was able to take a vacation a few weeks ago (thanks to her kids paying for their trip as their b-day and x-mas gifts) to Washington State to see her best friend from high school. They have always kept in contact through letters and email, but really I do not know the last time they actually saw each other and I don't think my mother has actually ever seen her place in Washington. Well while they were gone I started getting text messages from a number I did not know, but soon realized that it was my mom's best friend, Dianne, texting me. At that point I was impressed to know someone older was actually texting me. Well, when my mother got home she started asking lots of questions about texting and how hard it was and on and on and on. I never thought anything of it and last night my mother appeared at my door with a new cell phone and she wanted me to teach her how to text. She decided to get herself her own cell phone, so that she can text her best friend in Washington. Boy, let me tell you, you can teach an old dog new tricks, BUT it takes a LONG, LONG, LONG time.
