With The Fork And Knife






When you come to my home for a visit, 
would you like a fork and knife,  
while eating your cel phone ?

Haha while eating your cell phone, sad but made me smile as its the reality! Good one! Youv described an era in few words! How clever you are sweet rose. When i spend time with my son especially i try not looking at the phone. As quality time is something we cant get back. Pleasure reading this, hope you have a beautiful weekend

Glad you spend time with your son, without the interruption of a cel., they say the person in the room should feel understood and heard, thanks for understanding the message dear Ink,

Hello Mystic Rose, rose, oh , I had aq chuckle reding this poem. thank you for the laughter. This is so true. Everyone in my family is hooked on their cell phone. It is like they are glued to it. It is bad manners when everyone is on their cells phones when one person in the room is not becazse they don't . So thatr person won ders why am I in this room when everyone is busy on their cellphones. Hugs. /Darlene/

Hello Mystic Rose, Rpse I am glad that your children understand not using the cell phone at the table. As for my family They come to vist and have their Iphones and they are laways looking up stuff But not at the dinner table. I do not have an Iphone. Only a computer.

I agree there is a time for using it, but when its family timer, my kids know, I want to hear of them not their cel phones, they are really good about it
