2. My grandmother's new discovery of facebook.
Orin (my grandfather): Well, I think facebook's kinda funny.
Rita (my grandmother): Well, it's kinda nice. It's kinda like one-liners and you stay in touch with people.
My grandmother, Rita, is 82 years young. Because of both her and my mother I have never feared getting old. A few weeks ago she added me as a friend on Facebook. I laughed when I saw her name in my inbox, but really I wasn't surprised. Tonight I helped her add a picture and watched her as she wrote on my boyfriend's wall, complete with "Haha" and even signed "Love Rita". She navigated through the website with such ease and confidence that it put some much younger family members' computer skills to shame (hm, hm, Dianne Parker).
If any of you know Rita personally and have ever had the pleasure of meeting her, I'm sure she'd be thrilled if you added her as a friend.
