My dad finally got an iPhone after months of deliberating. His first text to me consisted of a capital O and nothing else. His first email to my brother showed that the name he inputted for his new gmail account was: Norm Gmail.

My dad is a sergeant in the Army. Two weeks ago he marched into my room with a bit of fury in his eyes. “What’d I do?” was all I could think. He had his iPod in one hand and a CD in the other.

My mom’s cell phone has been on speaker phone for about a month now, but she has no idea. She continues to hold it up to her ear to talk into it, only now she speaks even louder, to match the volume of the person she is on the phone with.
