    Hi a m b e r ~ As I pull you aside and whisper... Please know, I didn't think you were serious about the flip phone thing.  My dad carries one and I'm sure you wouldn't go and bash his head in.  When you saw it was vivid pink and a flip phone, you might...Big Winks and smiles and giving you the elbow!!
    Noooo, it was such a generalized question, you were bound to get defensive answers.  
    I don't know where you work but I also have had my fair share of "grumpy old men and women" in my line of work.  In all generations there are the good, the bad, and the ugly!  
    Can't wait to see you on another question!  It's great to meet cha!  Now, back to the conversation... Love, Merlin :) :)

    I spent most of my life putting up with and being respectful to my elders no matter how 'uptight' they were. Now it's my turn. Deal with it. This post was edited by Jane S at November 6, 2017 11:12 PM MST
