In case you haven't wasted enough time on Not Always Right or Overheard in New York, there's Crazy Things Parents Text.

...This makes it seem like a good thing my mother can barely make her voicemail work and doesn't even try to text, actually.

If my mother starts texting, I suspect it'll be a sign she was replaced by a pod person.

Other signs your mother has ignored Kevin McCarthy's warning:
1. The refrigerator is empty. The freezer, too.
2. She has pierced ears, two holes in both ears.
3. She warms a stool at Joe's Bar rather than a balcony seat at the newest performance of Hamlet at Roundabout.
4. She buys a Kindle. And uses it.

I could believe the Kindle before any of the others. You'd need my sister to switch books for you, but besides that...

What will get me is approaching old age: I'll need the large type. And I detest audio books.
But the Kindle/Nooks are so un-bookish. They don't make spine-cracking noises. They don't feel bookish. They don't smell bookish. I love book smell.
And the Charlie Chan bio is excellent, btw.
