This morning I got a greeting from my nephew who sent me a joke of a person taking a "Selfie" with a land line phone ??? Well I had one of these moment yesterday when I asked my eldest daughter to show me how to use the front camera of my Samsung - To Take a Selfie . . . to which she replied "Mom, your phone does not even have a front camera!" The laughed a while at my expense, but I dont mind. So this Morning after my chat with my nephew I sent them a photo of me trying to take a Selfie with my land-line!! Wakakakakakakaka - that is my hysterical LOL - I love a good laugh! Do you do silly things too? Photo is me

That's too funny! I think I'd rather take a selfie with a landline . . . it'd probably come out better!

@Inlemay I wouldn't have confidence in even a regular ol' camera!

I have seen a lot of this pictures. The elders are the funnier, because they try to take a selfie for their grandechildrens and it goes all wrong. Is so funny

My mobile phone has a rear and a front camera, but why would I want a photograph of me?

@Inlemay You can use the other camera, but it would take some trial and error.

I have to applaud you for your sense of humour. I haven't done silly things over selfie though as I've mastered the art

ha ha something like that - no its a 2 year old Samsung but one of the smaller ones, I have a mini Apple ipad that does all my other tricks so the phone just needs to be a phone = the joke was when I was without the ipad and wanted to take a photo of my new shorter hair - DUH - it doesnt have a front camera

I remember my late dad with your post. He is a very funny person too when he was living. As of me, I am a very serious person. I cannot recall a moment in which I did a silly act to make others laugh. But there are times that I am too serious and then those people around me will laugh not because I did a silly thing but how I say certain words. Just like last time I told a friend that I'd rather hang myself than marry a man who has same attitude with my brother. Then all of a sudden they laughed while I said it seriously.

My phone has a front camera, and I do not know how to use it, but Skype knows it. I never take selfies, even with a land line.

@Inlemay He is embarrassed by his family listening to the call. He has written "I love you" on his hand.

the trick is to smile, and hold a phone an arms length away and then still aim for the button all the while you look at the camera - its very tricky

I've managed to survive without selfies so far. I prefer to take photos of others!
