What I Just Learned

“Hold on,” she said. Then the clicking began.

My daughter just called. Trust me I was not first choice, but Helaine’s asleep. Still we stayed on-the-phone and chatted for a while. No complaints there.

During the conversation she received a text. She had to answer it.

“Hold on,” she said. Then the clicking began.

For the next thirty seconds I listened to her fingers tapping the message in on her BlackBerry’s keyboard!

I don’t know which is weirder, that she did it or that I instantly knew what she was doing! Never heard it before, but still unmistakable.
