Pretty young thing, second year college almost done, very bright gal and has a mind of her own when it comes to guys. Right up front with a new date, she lays down the rules and the biggest one in her mind is constant attention to their cell phone. She tells them if they get into their phone while on a date with her, she'll warn them one time to put it away. The second time the evening is over....period, no exceptions. She said a few times they really complained and her answer was a winner in my view: "If you're feeding at the tit of AT&T all the time, you don't need my company." I guess some of my genes have passed to her through my daughter.
Along that same line, since my Rita is doing poorly as of late, her son and wife came over from St. Pete Friday evening to check on her. Her son is OK I guess, but what bugged me was all the time they were here, he was checking his phone every couple minutes, constantly doing something with it. His wife hardly touched hers, she spent her time with Rita and me. I finally asked her son if he came over to see his mother or is it because he gets better reception on his phone in the Orlando area. He got a bit miffed but got the message. I really don't care about his feelings and he knows it...."son, you're here for your mother, not the phone company. Now is your chance to show it."
My daughter Toni has met him and lets just say she sometimes has no filter. Again, my genes....at times.
