Ever Notice...

...the older we get, the more we're like computers?

We start out with lots of memory and drive, then we become outdated and
eventually have to get our parts replaced.

From Paul (A.).

    My problem is that my hard drive seems to be just about full. I need more gigabytes in which to file more memories.

    We're not losing our memory. We just have so much more damn stuff to remember than a 22 year old hipster does.

    I was going to say something about the hard drive but I see Mary Clara has beat me to it. Should I mention floppy discs then? Perhaps not.

    Unless we're like Mimi who seems to be undergoing constant upgrades and always keeps ahead of the game.

    Lindy, don't blame me, blame Paul.

    Mary Clara, I know that for birthdays, my hard drive is definitely full. I can't add more birthdays. September is our blitz month, with 4 birthdays and 1 anniversary.

    Petty, I don't know how to do disks. I don't have a floppy drive, only a CD drive, which I don't know how to use, except to upload music.

    Counterlight, ain't that the truth?

    Erika, I wish!

    Grandmere --something must be said about mother boards too!

    Margaret, I don't even know what a mother board is. Is there a father board? I just want the computer to work, and when it doesn't, I need help.

    The metaphor is so apt. Yes, I think Grandmere must be getting regular upgrades. She's quite up-to-date. Beware though, as my daughter said when she was five: "Computers are stupid, they only do what you tell them, not what you want."

    Amelia, your daughter was wise beyond her years.
