My Husband Finally Did It

Tweet

Both my husband and myself own cellphones. Mine is a smartphone and his is still an old fashioned flip phone. We all tease him about his fear of texts. I will admit, it took me a long time before I sent my first text on my old flip phone, but now I text easily and often. This week, while sitting down to supper, his phone notified him of an incoming text. He looked at it and said, I'll call him back tomorrow. My suggestion was, send him a text. All he wants is a simple OK. Then I offered to show him how to do it. We walked him through the process. He sent his first text ever! Shortly afterwards he received another question from the same sender that also equipped just an OK. He bravely sent this on his own. No help from me. Later that evening, he told me, that he had sent yet another text. This one was two words. Thats fine. I'm impressed. For someone who is so afraid of technology, we are dragging him, kicking and screaming into the twenty first century.
