Ok, so those of you who read Friday’s post about my mum will know that up until a few weeks ago she had no idea what a blog was, let alone that I actually wrote one. Please click here if you need to catch up. We’ll wait for you to come back.
So after a few of you had left a comment on the blog and/or the facebook page for Pam, I sent her a text trying to explain the situation. Just look at her response….
I mean, really? She doesn’t even have a computer and now she quite fancies herself as a blogger. But wait, there’s more. If you go back to Friday’s blog post, you’ll see that she actually worked out how to write a comment and pretty much took over the entire comment section. Then she rang me on Saturday to tell me that “this whole blogging thing is quite exciting” and that she’s “worked out how to subscribe to the blog and can’t wait for her subscription to arrive.”
I didn’t have the heart to tell her that A) reading a blog doesn’t actually mean you’re blogging and B) the blog posts will arrive in her inbox not her mailbox.
And to complete this Senior Citizen Blogging Update, today I’m meeting mum for morning tea at a fancy pants restuarant. And when she gets home this post will no doubt be patiently waiting in her inbox on her ipad to be read. So can we all just take a moment to think about the questions I’m going to be met with when the old chook tries to figure out how the hell I managed to send her this blog post over the interwebs while I was sitting right in front of her. Magic Pam. It’s all Magic.
