I like #5.

Not long after my children grew up and left, they took me shopping for a cell phone, small digital camera and my own laptop.They showed me how to use them and that was it.

I would call or message them for help if I messed up on one of these and today it continues. It's with my daughter that I get help from the most and I know it will be ongoing!

I need help pretty often too;)

I joke around with my daughter and tell her the reason I gave birth to them is for these 'moments' for when I need help.

They keep up with the changing times as they happen, we find out later.

Oh, the times sure are a-changing..........it wasn't that bad under the blanket with the flashlight.............and the kids are too busy on their devices to help you anyway..........well, at least the old underpants are still useful and not self-destructing yet.

I remember reading until 4 o'clock :))

So very true

Makes you think, doesn't it?

Yep

If shoes with laces went away, I would have nothing to teach my kids. :)

They are already old fashion Geoff, never heard of Velcro?

Yea most pairs are velcro. The laces we buy so I can feel like a contributor. :)

Personally no. 8 is the best one, very closely followed by a couple others like 2,3,4

Yes, we were busy back then:)

Funny but true, Loes!
Thanks for sharing!

BTW the answer to point 11: (y(7.2m³ + x²)) / m³

Haha, thank you, I forgot the how to..

That is so funny. I'm bookmarking it to share with...

Thank you for my morning laugh!

Oh Loes, this is funny but with a tear in my eye.
