Today at my bus stop two of my fellow passengers who were on their phones stopped mid-whatever it is they do on those things when they’re not talking on them and telling the rest of the world at the tops of their lungs stuff they would just DIE if anyone found out( fill your drama in here ) to say ”  you can learn something new everyday now with this app …”

NOW? I thought. Wow. Let me think. What did we DO when we wanted to learn new things before?
Let me think. Oh- I remember. We read a book- and let’s see, we discussed ideas and asked people questions and they would answer in for the most part full sentences and even though we might not have agreed with what we heard if you were lucky you’d get a laugh or two.

Well. I don’t have a cell phone and I learn stuff too.

Like:

If you get a splinters under your fingernails often enough it’s not a big deal. But if you hold your finger up and show it to somebody else it will make them scream like somebody just lit their hair on fire AND jammed a bunch of splinters under all of their fingernails every single time.

And.

Juicy Fruit Gum has been in production since 1893- and nobody really knows what those fruity flavors are. I have my theories but I’ll keep those to myself. You’re welcome.

Wait- I have one more.

If you  sing the  song in the clip below to my husband’s cat Darwin, Darwin sinks his claws into whatever is handy and won’t let you pick him up. And if you call Darwin ” Rover” he panics and hides under the dining room table.

Oh. Don’t look at your screen like that and go all PETA on me- cats land on their feet almost all of the time and if you drop them from five feet up onto a bed they bounce.

So.

What ‘s new by you?
